Relocation. America's decidedly weird. Even the light switches are upside down. I keep forgetting left and right (especially when those road... [Hugh's ramblings]

Sit down, relax; make a cup of tea with your new kettle. You are not in "America", you are (I believe) in New England, in the Boston area, I believe. God help you.

Lights flash there for reasons unknown to the rest of the USA. You can get yellow and red lights together at the same time: they mean "Walk". You may see green arrows—which everywhere else mean that the oncoming traffic has a red light—that mean that you may turn that direction, if you like, at your own risk, but that some other direction is probably forbidden you. Green arrows mean, "Accidents happen frequently here for some reason".

Boston (or New England) isn't responsible for the light switches being "wrong" (although putting the switches outside the bathroom door so your child can leave you sitting there in the dark is a regional curiosity). But my wife and I still wish we were back there, sometimes. Enjoy your stay.

JIRA does RSS, so cool!.

Oh man this so rocks!

I'm now have Radio subscribed to a feed coming out of my liveTopics JIRA project.  I get an RSS item for each change that happens, i.e. someone adds a new issue, someone adds a comment, it's all there.  This is *so great* for project visibility.

Unfortunately it does kinda point out the weaknesses in the Radio aggregator interface.  It was probably fine when you only had a dozen or so feeds but I'm up to 58 and some of them are really big.  I need a tabbed interface that lets me organize feeds the way I want.  I need keyword prioritzation, I need the ability to delete all items from a specific feed at once.  I'd like them outlined to save screen real-estate.  [Actually John Robb's just pointed out that I can delete all the items at once, using the magnifying glass icon - must check that out]

Damnit I want aggregator Mark 2.

 

[Curiouser and curiouser!]

I see that JIRA is free to non-profits (like my company). I'll have to give it a try and see what I (and the bug-discoverers whom I frustrate) have to think about it.
