Ok, a bit ago, I was looking for some RSS feeds. I was hoping that I would come across some real good feeds from those on a couple planets. I was in the hunt for tech/geek/Linux/FLOSS feeds. I found a few, and I'm happy with the results thus far, even though, I'm still very much on the hunt for good RSS reading.
But, first things first. I am no longer using Liferea for my RSS reader. There are a couple of reasons for this, which are just my opinion. First, I prefer web-based applications to installed binaries in just about every case. If I can reduce the memory consumption on my machine, and place it on some centralized server, I'm all over it. Second, synchronizing my feeds between multiple computers is a pain with Liferea, and I'm sure most other RSS apps. If I add feeds while at work, then I need to make sure that I export the feeds, so I can import them into my feedreader at home. If I forget, then I seem to build a completely different list at home than I do at work, and that's annoying.
Really, that's it. So, I switched to Bloglines for my feed reading. First, being a web developer, I already have my browser open testing my app. Second, the ability to add new feeds, and be able to read them regardless of my location is sweet. No more headaches. At any rate, here are my feeds that I have currently settled on. Remember, I'm looking for good tech/geek/Linux/FLOSS feeds, so if you know any...
