After a Raspberry Pi and the afterlife of Google Reader


Since I first discovered it, I was one of the heavyweight users of Google Reader. So after we (as in: a great number of journalists and other heavyweight users) all got shafted by Google, I had to go and look for an alternative.

But it took me a great while to get the parts right. I guess I could say that at places, curiosity got the better of me.
