This is the post where I whine about computer-shaped annoyances, and then ask for help in thwarting them. As problems go, this is like...waaaay at the bottom of the heap, so I'm going to put them all behind a cut.

Google Reader

I love this RSS reader like my luggage, and it is going away. I can has a sad. A big sad. A giant wholloping sad of sadness sad. Sure there are a bazillion other readers out there, but...do any of them have a function that lets you aggregate Podcasts for streaming/downloading on your Android device?

That's not a rhetorical question, seriously do they? Because the pairing of Reader and Google's Listen app for Android is how I partook of the various voice-over, NPR, and snarky sex advice podcasts. Before that I was adrift in the sea of annoyance that was dealing with iTunes.

Astrid

This is my To Do list of choice, and it was recently purchased by Yahoo. The rumor going around is that they're not going to support this any longer. This makes me sad, as I really like this app and have programmed many various and sundry things into it.

Chances are good that I'll just end up using Google Tasks, but...if you've got something you like lemme know!

Twitter

Those bastages at Twitter are fucking with my shit again! First they kill TweetDeck, then they make it so TweakDeck isn't going to function. Those were the only two Android apps I could find that let me access multiple Twitter accounts, not to mention read Facebook and FourSquare.

I'm currently toying around with Scope Beta, which isn't bad in that it lets me keep the multiplatform stuff, but it only allows one Twitter account, and I have three. What the hell, people?

I'm not above paying for an app, especially if it's a good app that does what I want the app to do. But...I am above paying to use a social media service. I'm not going to pay a monthly fee to read Twitter, it's just not going to happen. And I believe that Hoot Suite requires payment.

Does anyone else do the more-than-one Twitter thing?
Do you follow them on a mobile device? What do you use?

My Netbook

Apparently my Netbook and my home network Router had some sort of falling out, because I can't get wi-fi to function with any stability at home. It's not my wireless card, I've tested that on another network. It's not my OS because I've recently reformatted the whole damn Netbook and re-installed Windows 7. And it doesn't appear to be the router itelf, because every other wireless device doesn't seem to be having an issue.

It's not that it doesn't connect, because it does...it just toggles in and out randomly and we have absolutely no idea why, or why it's just suddenly happened out of the blue.

I was at wits end over a week ago, and Poor Roomies Alissa and Joe...they've had to live with me during my Web Withdrawl. It's gotten bad, people. So bad. I'm in bed before midnight bad.

Tonight Roomie Joe is going to attempt to firmware update the router.
Any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated.
