But then, I’m probably dating myself. And whenever I hear that phrase (dating myself) I recall the banter:
Dating yourself? How do you do that?
It’s simple. You just work yourself into a lather until you are beside yourself. The rest is an exercise left for the reader.
Can you tell I’m a little punchy tonight?
Oh, and it seems to fit the IE commercials quite well, TYVM.

How to Return Facebook’s Privacy Settings to What You Signed Up For [Privacy]
Not that it’s much better, but I’m tied into Google pretty well, even using reader to aggregate all my RSS feeds. You can use that, or any other RSS aggregator you choose — just follow the guide that jwz provided many, many months ago. You’re halfway there, as now you can read all your friend’s updates without ever logging in to facebook directly.
Best bonus so far? You’ll never, ever see another app update (think farmville, mafia wars, fishville, voleville, crapopolis…)
Now, you know that twitter account you signed up for but never use? Tie that in to facebook. There are many ways to do this. Myself, I’m using my wordpress blog as the base of everything, with the “Twitter Tools” plugin syncing my blog with my twitter account, and twitter pointing everything on to everything else. My photo uploads to picasa point to friendfeed (which is still actually facebook, but I’m logging out of that one as well…)
Before you log out for what may very well be the last time, you’ll want to fix your privacy settings as strictly as possible. Salt to taste how much email facebook will send you alerting you to comments people make to your posts (though you will not be able to obviously “like” or comment on their posts within facebook itself).
Since I’m doing this myself, I’m going to log in one last time, pointing people to this post.
Be sure you log out; otherwise you’ll still see that cnn (among many other sites) still tell facebook about your visits.

Shouldn’t this be chapter 1?
I’ve now started using the firefox “Unsorted bookmarks” folder; if anyone knows how to make the ^d keyboard shortcut default to that folder, I would love to know!
It’s the first of the month; time to clear out that folder (though I’m now using the “unsorted bookmarks” folder in foxmarks…
Also, the job has been keeping me rather busy, so expect a shorter list:
This month, there are even several decent things overheard:
And now, the rest of the bookmarks are unsorted:
The rules:
Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you’ve read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. Tag 15 friends, including me.
Wasn’t me, I swear it!
