Ovidiu likes NetNewsWire. So do I. Unfortunately it can't keep up with the 111 feeds I regularly monitor. I find myself using NewzCrawler more and more.

There are few things that I would love to see NNW support.

1. As mentioned b4, direct support of .url shortcut files. I'd also want to be able to drag & drop a shortcut from IE to NNW.

2. The ability to export/import subscriptions in OCS format.

3. Autodiscovery of OPML subscriptions lists. A nifty feature which was recently added to NewzCrawler.

4. Automatic handling of the ' XML entity.

5. The ability to trigger channel updates via AppleScript. It would also be nice to be able to add new channels that way.

6. Improved threads and groups management. I've pretty much given up trying to group anything. With so many subscriptions, moving channels around takes forever and a day.

But I'm probably the only person interested in most of that stuff.

Ultimately I think I'd much rather have Brent spend time working on features that are widely requested. He's got a good product and needs to focus on pleasing the masses.

Mike's got the blog-blues. Breaking up is hard to do. Come to think of it, marriage is no piece of cake either.

We're in the process of migrating one of our Resin/MySQL server from 2K to Red Hat. Fun, fun, fun. I'm such a unix geek.

We watched the season premiere of ER last night. It was so-so. Vicki figured out that Anspaugh was going to be back. I was betting on Benton showing up.

PMD is yet another Java source code analyzer. I haven't had a chance to try it, but will soon.
