Recent the Google Reader application has had a minor update, wherein when you are reading an individual feed using the spacebar key to scroll and you reach the end, it automatically takes you to the next feed. This is an awesome change and makes using this view far more useful.

Russell Beattie whose blog has been out of action for some time has a great write up on moving to Jabber. I have been trying to move people over and I have had a reasonable amount of success. Possible my greatest was when Clint made Jabber compatible.
The New Zealand/Tasmanian Carton
It has been common knowledge for quite some time, that a New Zealand/Tasmanian carton contained 13 beers. As many of you will know, this was first discovered when a few of us were promised a carton of beer by a certain New Zealander/Tasmanian and he arrived to our disgust with 13 beers. Most people would call that 2 sixpacks and change, but I digress. Having spent a week here, Carl and I have found the answer to this age old question. Is 13 the magic number. The answer is No!
This may sound like I have the answer, but I don’t. All I can provide you with is information, beer in New Zealand is sold in 3 sizes, 15 pack, a doz and half a doz. You will note that they do not refer to the half a doz as a sixpack. We obviously have a few issues with buying any of these sizes due to the fact that you feel somewhat homosexual by buying enough beer to make you thirsty, but not enough to make you drunk. We have decided that these are not to be refered to as cartons (obviously it is misleading) so we are calling them boxes. In anycase, a man is not a camel and as the San Diegons say, “When in Rome!”
