			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve upgraded the software I use for blog-reading &#038; writing.  I&#8217;m pretty happy with the following so far:</p>
<ul>
<li>I&#8217;ve switched to <a href="http://www.utsire.com/shrook/">Shrook</a> as my aggregator.  It&#8217;s the only one I found that could let me quickly reorganize my 300+ RSS feeds into groups.  Key word being &#8220;quickly&#8221;.  Most of the others I tried didn&#8217;t scale well from a UI point of view (Google Reader and Bloglines in particular).  It has groups which can overlap (&#8220;Favorites&#8221; and &#8220;Inspiring&#8221; can both contain the same feed), and it has some sort of bayesian learning thing which I haven&#8217;t figured out yet.  It also has a web-based online reading &#038; synchronizing service, which I haven&#8217;t poked at either.
</li>
<li>I&#8217;ve upgraded to <a href="http://www.red-sweater.com/marsedit/">MarsEdit</a> 2.0 (well, haven&#8217;t paid yet but I will).  I&#8217;m not sure why.
</li>
<li>After figuring out the category support in MarsEdit, I upgraded <a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> to 2.2.3.  Nothing broke as far as I can tell.
</li>
</ul>
<p>The other piece of software I&#8217;m enjoying these days is <a href="http://hiveminder.com/">HiveMinder</a>, after a recommendation from <a href="http://zak.greant.com/">Zak</a>.  It&#8217;s related to RT, but it fits my brain much better than RT did.  I particularly like the Instant Messaging interface.  More on that later if I get around to it&#8230;</p>
