• Go! England and Wales! Go! Go! Go!

    It is a big day for those working towards more equal marriage law in the UK today. The second reading of the Bill which would allow gay couples to wed in England and Wales.

    I’ve been in touch with Ann McKechin my local MP to check she is supporting it and am delighted to report she is.

    And this isn’t a simple West Lothian question either – I’m one of her constituents. If I wanted to marry someone from Englandshire I might well want to get married there.

    Indeed, I might want to get married in a parish church there.

    But we will come to that later.

    Your Google Reader RIP blog post gave readers (washed and unwashed) plenty of warning time to switch to another means of reading your blog. And now another goodbye to Google Reader! Thank goodness email still lives, as well as RSS feeds. It’s nice to have a choice.

    Bless you Kelvin – you have saved the day. I knew this ominous occurrence was coming and was completely flummoxed as to what to do about it. Thanks too for all the extra help in your blog.

    I have settled on Netvibes as my Google reader replacement (lack of clutter ec).

    The one thing I have not sorted is that in Google Reader I had a ifttt (www.ifttt.cm) recipe which transferred any post I starred to Evernote (www.evernote.com).

    I’ve been using NetNewsWire all these years. They are keeping up with the changes, although I don’t think they’ve got the synchronization (amongst several different devices) working yet. There are several ways of doing this; but a reason everyone liked Google Reader so much was that it was the best tool for synchronizing (amongst different devices) even when you used a reader other than Google’s.
