[Cialug] Daily reading?

Wed Feb 16 14:53:02 CST 2011

Two sites that were not in my bundles that are worth crafting RSS feeds for:

1) http://opencrs.com/

This site lists the reports that our congresspeople are given about the issues that they are voting on.  It is surprisingly balanced... but often incomplete.  It's also interesting to see what congress is supposed to read and based on their own comments clearly is not.

2) http://www.eurekalert.org/

Pick your topics and get feeds of current papers being published in numerous scientific disciplines.  It's the next best thing to forking over the money to actually subscribe to all the journals.  If you see something interesting and WANT to read the long journal article, you can likely find it via the online journals at the State Library of Iowa.  Cards and access is free.  If you don't have a state library card, you're an idiot^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H not taking full advantage of your information resources.  State library is at:  http://www.statelibraryofiowa.org/

I love rss feed readers. Way easier than trying to navigate and read 20 different sites every day. P.S. to Josh. Do you know how to make google reader only show the titles when you browse a feed like the mobile site does? I find myself scrolling way too much when I have entries in the feed that I don't want to read.

Here's my google reader bundle for tech stuff
http://www.google.com/reader/public/subscriptions/user/07693707818662822484/bundle/Tech

<http://www.google.com/reader/public/subscriptions/user/07693707818662822484/bundle/Tech>I also like thedailywtf for some fun/scary code snippets and IT stories, and of course XKCD.

Really?  You guys are still doing daily readings?  Of actual web sites?

Here are four Google Reader "bundles", from which you can generate OPML files to import into your own RSS readers:

Sysadmin Stuff:  http://www.google.com/reader/bundle/user%2F05465999583289484584%2Fbundle%2Fsysadmin

IT News:   http://www.google.com/reader/public/subscriptions/user%2F05465999583289484584%2Fbundle%2Fit-news

Security News:  http://www.google.com/reader/bundle/user%2F05465999583289484584%2Fbundle%2Fsecurity

Security Attacks:  http://www.google.com/reader/bundle/user%2F05465999583289484584%2Fbundle%2FSecurity%20Attack

I found that when I moved from daily reading to RSS, my data throughput went up by about 20x.

Thought it might be interesting to share reading lists.

What sites do others check on a daily basis to get their tech fix?

/. is a given.
