What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Tuesday Update

    Tuesday: Useful comment article by Colette Douglas Home in today’s Herald, on the Roman Catholic Church’s position on #equalmarriage: http://www.heraldscotland.com/comment/columnists/core-message-of-christianity-is-one-of-love-and-forbearance.18704767

    Includes good key quotes from Sunday’s sermon and this:

    [Kelvin Holdsworth] welcomed gay Christians to the service and discovered, not surprisingly, that his congregation had increased.

    A senior Catholic source reportedly accused him of “incendiary and uncharitable language” when he issued his invitation last Friday. Mr Holdsworth said: “I think people get weary of hearing a negative message from church people. What they want to hear is positive – about changing the world for the better, about justice, about love.” Amen to that.

    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.
