I've used GR for years. When I heard they were killing it, I set out to
find a replacement. I settled on NewsBlur, even though they are struggling
to keep up with all the new traffic. They are working on it, and I really
like it so far.

I refer to myself as a developer and get slightly annoyed when someone
refers to me as a programmer. I started professionally writing code in 1990,

him to implement, with little or no thought of his own needed (or desired).

Can anyone who was at the Roundup and rented a house share how much you paid
for the house? After listening to the latest episode, with so many people in
the room extolling the virtues of the Roundup, I'm seriously considering
attending next year.
