Yes You Can!

Here’s something I just discovered recently (I know, someone else probably already figured this out before me). If you’re keeping up with your favorite blogs through their RSS feeds, and you use the Google reader, this tip is for you. If you don’t use Google reader, I suggest you start using it because we all know Google is taking over the world sooner or later.
Basically what the reader allows you to do is download all the feeds you’ve subscribed to, and read them while your offline. This could be IS a great way to catch up on stuff while you’re commuting (Not recommended if you’re driving a vehicle yourself). I’ve included the steps and a few images to show you how to get this going.
1. Install Google Gears.
2. Open your Google reader.
3. Click on the little icon (image 1.0)
4. See the result (image 1.1)
5. Read and get smart.

Now if you already knew this – move along please. There’s nothing else to see here.

This is a great advice I’ve never seen before. I had this problem just a couple of weeks ago when I was on vacation in France for two weeks. Two of the days I managed to find an IT-café, just to find several thousands of posts waiting for me. With this method it would be possible to update my feeds, go home and read them, write about them (Windows Live Writer), and then upload them next time I come to an IT-café.
Looks like I should have posted it a few weeks sooner @Stefan
Hope you didn’t spent all your time in an Internet cafe…France is beautiful.
