Google Reader loses the 100+

Cool, I just noticed that Google Reader has had a little update and no longer displays 100+ when there are over a hundred new posts in a tag.  My All Items is currently showing 904 unread.

DS Action – Down Syndrome support in San Diego

A friend from a mailing list I belong to has a son with Down Syndrome. He and his wife have been instrumental in setting up DS Action, a group committed to improving the quality of life of those with Down Syndrome. Although they are based in San Diego, California, I’m sure they would welcome members from anywhere, but if you are in their vicinity perhaps you can offer assistance. Being a newish organisation, I’m sure they could use the help.

The dog in front was in heat and whenever we saw her she had a number of suitors vying for her attention.

Paternoster Morning

Paternoster Morning

I have been on leave for the past two weeks and spent part of the time on the West Coast with no access to a computer or the Internet, other than via my cell phone so I have been lax in posting but I will make up for that by posting some of the photos I took while on holiday, like this one, taken shortly after sunrise on the beach at Paternoster.

WTF is up with Google?

I just launched a Google search from the Firefox search bar and was presented with a screen like this.

After entering the CAPTCHA code I saw a message about being redirected, but simply came back to the page above.  Thinking it may be related to using the Firefox search bar I went to the Google home page and searched from there.  Again I got the CAPTCHA but this time the code was accepted when I entered it and I got my search results.  I hope that this is not something we will see every time we do a search from now on.
