I was reading about the policy of <q>E-mail zero<\/q> where you aim to keep your inbox at 0 e-mails at all times by constantly properly filing your mail. Having fallen behind around 2 years ago mines is ever growing. I figured going for RSS zero was a first step.<\/p>\n<p>My RSS reader now has 64 unread posts in it down from a constant of around 800 a month ago. Basically I had been stuttering through every blog trying to catch up and failing. I decided to work my way down, getting one to zero then trying to keep it there, rinse and repeat.<\/p>\n<p>I managed this on all but one blogs, which has around 40 left and another with 8. These are all pretty heavy reading articles so I am moving through these less slowly.<\/p>\n<p>After that I will attempt to tackle the yahoo account inbox (currently 6000+ items, 200+ unread). To be fair I have had the account for over 10 years. Hopefully when I get it to zero I can consolidate the mail I have and what I get to decide if I keep it or move to a better mail system. Given the time it will take I might migrate to Google Wave, which looks fantastic<\/p>\n<p>Anyhoo, this was a long diversion to post praising one of the blogs I keep an eye on. Max Dunbar regularly posts on a wide range of topics including book reviews. His review of Terry Pratchetts <a href=\"https:\/\/maxdunbar.wordpress.com\/2009\/06\/01\/classic-books-small-gods\/\"><cite>Small Gods<\/cite><\/a> is absolutely superb and bang on the money. First review in ages to remind me why I love a book, film etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Catching up on my blog list has been fun.
