How about we just stop using anything based on France altogether? Here you go – English Sans French. If we’re going to get extreme, let’s go all the way. [via Metafilter]

The Web As We Know It…
Not only is today Albert Einstein’s birthday, but NCSA Mosaic for X 0.10 was released 10 years ago today. I still remember the first time I got online in 1995 – it was definitely a life changing experience in many ways. The browser wars were already in full swing by then – I’ve always been an Internet Explorer kind of gal, but I used Netscape first. How about you? When did you first get online? What browser did you use then? What browser do you prefer now? How has the Internet changed your life? (This last topic will come up again as I write more about SXSW.)

I Hate It…
I hate it when I’m right. Last night when I heard the news of Elizabeth Smart’s return home, I commented on how the whole situation still left me with a bad vibe. Last summer I just had a feeling that there was more to the story. This morning I commented to one of the attorneys at work that after seeing the clip of her walking behind Brian David Mitchell in a veil and face cloth, I wondered if she had been married to him. I hate it when I’m right about things like that.
She has been through a terrible ordeal, and it’s as if she was taken in to a cult or something similar. I am happy to see her reunited with her family, but it will be a long road to a normal life for her.

Like That, It’s Gone…
Well, FeedReader lasted all of 8 hours. Then it crashed, ate all of the RSS feeds I had already entered in to it, and so I deleted it. I’m mean like that.
Thanks to a suggestion from TJ, I went and downloaded Syndirella (which I later spotted being recommended at Jish’s site too) and the required .NET stuff. It’s up and running now and I have a Reader that isn’t “broken” anymore. Well, FeedReader wasn’t broken, but as Jay pointed out, it wasn’t reading the CDATA information in my new XML template. Instead it was reading just the description information, MTEntryExcerpt, as Mark had the template (taken from here) set up originally.
I haven’t changed my RSS feed back to be like Mark’s again, but if you happen to be using a reader that I’m now freaking out with my long description, please let me know. If you haven’t updated your RSS template yet – and I’m wondering why not, since I’ve now posted about it 3 times today – here are Jay’s compelling reasons why you should. Basically, I want you to feed me full posts, not just choppy little excerpts. Sure they are a great teaser, but when I’m pressed for time I need the whole thing.
Now I just have to tweak my comment form to allow you to leave your RSS feed link. I’m always willing to do whatever I can to make Chris happy.

Nothing Better to Do?
Forget the French Freedom Fry thing from Tuesday, now there has been a bill proposed to allow return of U.S. vets buried in France. I’m just sitting here shaking my head…
