Then again..

Just like last year when i-Google was being taken away (actually by November first this year) I found a better way to operate as I was on the verge of looking for a better way of getting to the information I wanted.. That would be a speed dial type of idea that has evolved into how I start my day.. But Google reader was part of that as it was a speed dial and will be until I get things adjusted to the new non use of the reader idea.  Moving away from reader has already begun as I am deleting all of the RSS sites..  I am hoping that "the old reader" RSS will take Google reader place, but I'm not holding out much hope.. Then the same day as reader announced they were stopping it's support I find out that the FVD speed dial doesn't work the way it was.. I wanted to get the backup file for it and it won't do that the way it was doing it, the easier way of doing it.. It updated to the way it works (doesn't work) on Chrome browser.. So sad that it says it will work between browsers but I can't get it to work the way they say it does.. So now I have to figure out yet another way of doing what I do.. Already I have a new plan for continuing as it has been with the biggest difference being that the somewhere around one thousand RSS feeds were just way too many.. I rarely read very many and the truth is I like the potential to have that many sites for a reason of "what if??"..  Meaning what if I need information from a thousand sites?? Well when I got the Roku, most of my news is gotten from there, controlled the same way as I do on the computer and reader.. I realized this a few weeks ago that most of the information I get is split between the computer and streaming from Roku..  So why the temper tantrum over Reader being shut down??  I guess it is the idea that yet another thing I used by Google is going away.. I wanted to keep using reader because it is so much easier than opening these sites individually and getting whatever extra sludge they offer.. But now I will either have one of two or three readers that will have a good lot of the RSS taken down.. There are those who have complained about having their hundred or so RSS sites taken away.. Mine was way too big, and I admit that.  Rectifying that as we go over the next few days.. I am still using i-Google as a homepage but not as THE homepage, that doesn't exist for me anymore...  I'd rather have many homepages than just one..  Well what about the big switch to another blog site??  Well I've decided NOT  to change to another site for now.. I did look at Wordpress and had a site there, started at the exact same time or shortly after Lucy went to Poland for her immigration status thing..  Looked at Tumblr as a possible replacement and might end up there yet.. But for the foreseeable future I will remain here on this site on Blogger and decide if PNOP will continue after December or not..

More Walking Dead viewed recently..  Shows like that do make you think what would be important to have.. Just watched a movie called "The Day" today and it is about the world as we know it ending and people are just trying to stay alive in any way they can.. A fairly nasty movie that has some assumed  cannibalism, but never really shown.. There were no animals in the movie so the world ends by way of the food supply taking a drastic change..  This was never shown.. I watched the extras part and they said they wanted the movie to start as if you picked up a book and started to read it some five chapters or so into it.. And the movie felt that way, although it was fairly good to see this way..

Phase three is done??  The Infinity music video project  seems to have hit a stop point.. In the past two or three weeks I have tried to catch up with watching the shows I was meaning to catch up on.. And now I am closer to being caught up, watching the second half of seasons of Suits and starting Justified the other day.. Finished that Joe Schmo show from this year and now I got the first two seasons of it and watching the first season now and will watch second season after that..  I looked on Youtube for more video ideas for  phase three and have a few more but I just can't get inspired enough to do anymore.. Is this the end of  phase three??  I won't pull the plug until May so I have a little more time yet..

Looked at sprinklers this past week.. Need to decide what I might try to use or just use what I have been.. The watering season is quickly approaching.. Memories of last year are still fresh in my head and knowing how that turned out has me on edge now.. Starting to water by the end of March??  Who would do such a thing??  Well seeing how the grass started to turn to weeds early in June I will start to water earlier to get grass to grow.. However with the drought watering will be different this year.  There aren't any watering restrictions being discussed yet but I have to be ready and was ready last year but didn't change how I watered.. So why consider a new sprinkler if everything worked so well last year??  I want a sprinkler I passed on last year.. Hopefully they will have that one and I will try it.. I saw a flaw with it and that might be why I can't find it.. They might have had a lot of people bring it back.. Hope they redesigned it, I'd like to get my mitts on it..
