Oops. We came to the RSS section of the course and a distant memory drifted vaguely into view. RSS sounded so familiar. Feedreaders even more so. Then I began to remember a time when the state library was a little excited about enabling RSS feeds from their website. All library staff were given a rundown on them and encouraged to join a feedreader. Which I did, at the time. I also checked it faithfully for months afterward and then totally forgot about it.
It hasn't forgotten me. I returned, only to be refused entry, leading me to suspect my account had lapsed. But no, it was only my memory refusing to store passwords. Once this key was accessed, I was in.
I couldn't bring myself to fully face the information overload it contained. There were hundreds of feeds in each catagory. Piles reaching the metaphorical ceiling. Erk.
So I have learnt a little somthing from this exercise. It's one thing to be creating all these new accounts, but remember, after the novely has worn off and you forget - they won't.
