This is directed to those of you who might only read these notes on Facebook. You may (or may not, which is more likely) be interested to know that I don’t write these on Facebook; they get pulled over from my blaugh at www.canspice.org.

If you’re at all interested in following along, I suggest subscribing to my RSS feed. What is RSS? It’s a standard way for websites (and other such technologies) to publish updates automatically, and software polls RSS feeds on a periodic basis to retrieve these updates. Using an aggregator (also referred to as an RSS reader or news reader), you can keep up-to-date with a number of websites at the same time without having to visit them individually. Personally, I use Vienna on OS X. Other OS X RSS readers include NetNewsWire and NewsFire. Web-based RSS readers include Google Reader, which allows you to access your RSS feeds from any Internet-connected computer.

So Facebook readers, you don’t need to follow along on Facebook, you can use a separate program and collect updates from all kinds of websites in one convenient location!
