The Slayer

Our kitchen has slowly been condemned concluded by Odorous House Ants concluded the course of the past couple of months. We finally had an slayer come out this word of farewell to spray around the inside of our home and point in particular interior locations as well. In order to make that find, though, we had to collect no of our pets and set up them in our chamber. We also had to stay out of our house for at thing deuce time period, which meant other trip into the world with our baby, Heidi.

Our first stop was IHOP. There's a new one down at Southcenter, so we definite to check it out. Otherwise than our crazy server, United Nations agency took flair to a whole new level with her two-pound create verbally, it was a witticism breakfast. Heidi slept for a bit and point watched us from her spot atop a high-chair (still in her cable car seat) as we satiate ourselves with pancakes, hashish browns and the like.

Then it was off to the Southcenter mall, which was recently remodeled at the Dixieland end. We entered at that end, with Heidi in the perambulator, and took a look at the new stores. As long as you don't investment too right north, you could almost fool yourself into reasoning you were at Bellevue Square. The Coach depository probably had something to do with that (talking of Coach, it's that time of time period again, isn't it?). There's also a new wing to the eastside that has a whole constellate of baby/toddler stores and a little play body part for kids. Something tells me we'll be disbursement more than time here as Heidi gets older.

We born by Gap to try on no jeans, and I concluded up purchasing other pink habilitate. In the process, Heidi got a lot of wish from stochastic strangers. If group were as nice to each otherwise as they square measure to babies, the world we live in would be a dissimilar place. Aft that, we were in the clear to head back home, so we did.

At home, we no quickly realised how banal we were. Typically, at the Zimmermann unit, Caturdays square measure for body process in. Since we weren't able-bodied to do that, we definite to try and take a thread. Somehow, no ternion of us managed to period for five time period. Nowadays I'm idea well-rested and start to get thirsty. I'm off to pick up no North American country food in a bit, and point we'll probably top off the night with a film or two.

All-in-all, not a bad day.

Problems with Google Gears and Google Reader

As mentioned previously, my family has flown Dixieland to Reptile genus this period to visit family. Reasoning I strength be posing on the plane with little to do for nearly ternion time period (you'd think with a nearly ternion calendar month old baby flying with me, I'd have wad to do, but Heidi slept the whole flight), I figured I'd transfer Google Gears and try to take point of offline reading mode in Google Reader to catch up on no feeds.

Last night, as I was enclosure up and deed belongings ready, I downloaded and installed the Google Gears add-on for Firefox, restarted the spectator, navigated to Google Reader, and clicked the newly perceptible green picture to contemporise Google Gears with the word 2,000 feeds (this number is way too low, in my public opinion, since I could probably get done individual to 10,000 items in ternion time period) in my Google Reader account. Idea self-confident, I opted out of disconnecting my portable computer from its wireless connection and experimentation out the new settings to make sure they worked. You can probably see where this is heading.

Once our flight had reached cruising elevation somewhere concluded austral Federal government this word of farewell, I fired up my portable computer and wide-eyed up Firefox. I typewritten in http://www.google.com/reader/, hit Enter, and experienced exactly what anyone would experience with just about some web page when not adjacent to the Computer network. Firefox told me the computer could not be reached because an Computer network connection was not easy. A bit metagrabolized, I started looking at around in the Google Gears settings to see if here was no special way to access Google Reader, since the mean way was proving bootless. Little to my embarrassment, I could not find a "special way," or any way for that matter. I even proved accessing otherwise assorted Google Reader URI s, hoping that one of them would be the light switch I was looking at for, but to no exploit. My close step was to shut up the portable computer down, put it back in its case, and grab the nearest copy of Spirit Magazine.

Having gotten my feet back on the ground and an LAN cable obstructed back into my portable computer, I've had a chance to do a little more than problem solving into how Google Gears and Google Reader square measure meant to work. Unfortunately (for me and for them), the results haven't been beautiful. First off, it quickly became apparent that I wasn't the first somebody to have these kinds of issues. What wasn't apparent, especially from what I would consider the official verbal description of the feature, was that a selfish person is actually anticipated to either leave the web spectator running in order to get the offline reading modality to work, or make precise heedful use of Firefox's academic term manager to verify that the precise close launch of the spectator kicks you into offline reading modality by reloading the European slip in which Google Reader was active before the spectator was shut up down.

Of course, it took me failing miserably and point doing about a common fraction hour's indefinite quantity of problem solving online to figure out that these methods strength bring more than mortal. I actually proved both and both seemed to work, but these options aren't spontaneous at no. To make belongings worsened, when I make use of the academic term administration feature in Firefox to regenerate the tabs on close launch, lone about 5% of the general selfish person surface ever wads, and it's the portion up top that ends up organism beautiful unuseable if your piping arousal is to actually read no feeds. Better still, when I looked into that particular issue, I remuneration a precise past and active thread that seems to resist deuce things:

  1. Many group square measure having this European problem.
  2. The Google Reader group seems to be addressing the question on an account-by-account basis rather than at a orbicular level that would presumably fix the issue for everyone.

Feelin' my hindrance yet?

As belongings stand nowadays, I haven't yet had a prosperous experience with reading my feeds in Google Reader spell offline. I'm not so sure I ever will, either, assumption the basketball one appears to have to jump done in order to make that find. When no is same and finished, it seems like yet other reason wherefore Computer network access on airplanes makes a lot of sense. Let me access the cloud spell amid the clouds, and I'll be a willing man. I just hope you don't think I'm exit to shell out $13 for it. Spirit Magazine Gregorian calendar month be bad, but it's not that bad!
