Another Youtube Discovery

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

Last time I discovered how to change the thumbnails on your Youtube videos. Today, I discovered how you can follow your favorite ‘tubers with RSS feeds… that you can see right in your Google Reader or Bloglines with the rest of your blogs.

All you have to do is type the following into your feed reader (or even directly into your address bar in Firefox if you’ve got it set up right):
http://www.youtube.com/rss/user/USERNAME/videos.rss

Just replace “USERNAME” with the name of the Youtube user, and voila! One beautiful RSS feed for your favorite videos, delivered hot and fresh with the rest of your daily bloggery.

Minor Disasters

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

Today was pretty windy, and part of my job today at work was to change the letters on the sign outside. I do it most Sundays, so it wasn’t a big deal. I’ve done it when it was windy before. Heck, I’ve done it in rain, snow, and 105° weather before. No biggie.

Nope. The wind blew one of those black plastic letters and it hit me square in the nose! Now my nose is all swollen, starting to turn purple, and I’ve got this big cut right across the bridge of my nose.

And if that wasn’t the worst part, my nose is so swollen that it hurts to wear my glasses, so I’m stuck being… well, kind of blind. My vision is awful. I’m probably about a foot from my screen right now, and I can’t read the words I’m typing. And I look funny, to top it all off!!

My other minor disaster happened just a few minutes ago. I’m a complete Firefox fangirl, but I guess it has its days just like every other program ever made. I customized the heck out of mine… plugins, custom theme, all these options changed… it was exactly how I wanted it. Nope, all back to default when I opened it just now. I’ve got to start ALL over again! Curses, Firefox!

Edit: Life gets better. Painkillers have made me temporarily forget about my nose, and I restarted Firefox and all of my tweaky goodness has returned. Hooray!
