A brief note to anyone who's using the XML comments link to keep up with Comments posting: I'm not sure if it's entirely consistent. I've missed a couple notes recently via FeedReader. I've not managed to isolate whether it's a feed or aggregator problem. More to follow.
Update: I have uninstalled BottomFeeder, which had previously failed to run properly after one particularly spectacular crash, reinstalled it, and set it up with the feeds for this blog and the comments. It sees everything fine. FeedReader for some reason, not only fails to recognize the order that the items in the XML feed are listed in, it drops some items for mysterious reasons. Pfff. "Alpha."
Update 2: FeedReader appears to have stalled in development. A shame, because it looks so nicely polished, and appears so nicely functional for something that is inexplicably futzing the aggregation of my Comments feed. (Note: ARRRGGgghh!!!!! (...!)). The site's last update was last September, though the binaries for the latest build appear to have been released two days ago, Sourceforge isn't showing anything new when I go there:
FeedReader 2.5 Alpha 610 [show only this release] 2003-04-23 17:00: bleh.
On the PC, currently BottomFeeder, with its save-to-FTP option, is my work/home default RSS reader. Anyone have a better suggestion?
