I do suspect that Bloglines might be fixed though. I hope that made sense.

The funny thing is, just having someone hovering at your shoulder, without them even having looked at the offending code, will often make it jump out at you. The outcome is often embarassing (because of the obviousness of the blunder), but a bit of dented ego is usually an acceptable price (particularly if you've been staring blankly at it all morning).

I figured out how to enjoy it to the best of my abilities, I just skipped the passages containing the computer coding, sort of like you'd skip the genealogies in the book of Genesis if you were there for the myths, or something.
