BlogBridge followup

A little while ago I gave up using BlogBridge, due to extreme resource utilization and general problems with it. The good developers behind the BlogBridge software responded quickly, and asked me to try out the weekly builds instead. I've been doing so for a week or so, and purposely just letting it sit in the background and not reading any of my feeds to make sure the unread count was high. Armed with the java debug console I tried reproducing the issues I was having with the 3.0.x version, and I'm very happy to report that the weekly build does not seem to suffer the same problems. I can finally go back to using BlogBridge as my primary feed reader, something I'm very happy about. I'm also impressed by the fact that the developers behind BlogBridge actually took the time to both comment and send me emails regarding this issue, trying to figure out what was going on. Not that I actually had anything useful to report back to them, as the issue isn't present in the weekly builds. Another very nice "feature" of the weekly builds, is that you can run it without actually installing it. When you download it, it's basically just a .jar file that gets executed within your Java environment. Very nice, as this also guarantees that you get updated code from the developers each time you run it. Once again, I'm a happy BlogBridge user! While FeedReader 3 is a nice application, the lack of centralized syncronzation services makes it very tedious to use for people who use multiple computers on a daily basis.
