I have definitely become a Mac person, but after reading this story on Slashdot, I think I should give Ubuntu a try. I would also like to try a few of these applications as well. Of course, I would miss at least one application.

Over the past several weeks, we have been meeting on Fridays with the application owners of our latest application. We mainly did this since we are under a tight timeline, but it was also a way to start working Agile Software Development into our environment. Some say you have to follow a process completely, but we haven't quite done that.

I have written before about Web RSS Readers. I thought I had found the one I liked in Netvibes, but I just didn't stick with it. I went back to a few different RSS clients. Over the weekend, I ran across Newshutch. They had issues all weekend, but now they are up and running. I am very impressed with my initial usage. It keeps track of what I have read and updates when there are new articles.

I signed up late for BarCampRDU and I am pleased to say I am off the wait list and will be attending the un-conference. If you are not familiar with an un-conference, you can read about it here. I am looking forward to the event although I had kind of given up on it since I was number 31 on the wait list at one point. Hopefully, I will have some good information to blog about afterward.
