.well-known/feeds
.well-known/feeds is a draft standard by which a site can publicise an OPML-based list of feeds (or other metadata) associated with it, that I literally dreamed-up last night. What do you think?

Posted a note for GC3D6J8 The Leap Year Club
This checkin to GC3D6J8 The Leap Year Club reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Enjoyed solving this puzzle, although possibly not 100% in the way the author intended (I spotted some mathematical quirks that gave me a shortcut/cut down the number of possibilities for matching first and surnames!).

Found GC340FP Sanders
This checkin to GC340FP Sanders reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I managed to log most of the local geocaches during last year's Fairport by getting up early each morning (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), while the other revellers were still nursing their hangovers, but I wasn't able …

Bottomings

RSS Zero isn't the path to RSS Joy
There’s nothing special about reaching Inbox Zero in your feed reader.
It’s not noble nor enlightened to get to the bottom of your “unread” list.

Not the Isle of Man
Ruth and I celebrated our anniversary this week by going to the Isle of Man. Except we never got there and instead Ruth lost her job and I got sick.

Ruth dropped the dog and I off for a walk to a hashpoint while she collected some shopping.
