I added two new podcast feeds to my hpodder client and it wanted to download 47 ‘new’ podcasts. So I am firing that program. I have downloaded gpodder and I will use that instead, starting tomorrow morning. I have already imported most of the feeds I had in hpodder, but there are a couple more I need to add.
This weekend will be busy. There is a North Idaho Linux Users Group meeting in Post Falls on Saturday, where we will continue helping the uninitiated with the mysteries and goodness of Linux.
On Sunday, I will go over to the Spokane County fairgrounds to attend the Spokane Rock Rollers Gem and Mineral show. They hold a pretty good show, so it should be very interesting. This year the only thing I could use would be a slab saw, but they cost a lot of money, so I won’t be looking real hard.
Sometime this weekend, I will also need to back up the NILUG web site and upgrade its software. I will probably change the web site theme, too.
