watertown redux

Opened up the machine last night again and tried unplugging the CPU fan. This made it much quieter. Tonight: need to run to µCenter to get a new one. Note for future repair work: notice which direction fan is facing before removing it. Meanwhile, as an artifact of the assembly of the motherboard, the machine is memoryless, which should adequately stop prying housemates from trying to use it with no CPU fan and thus frying the processor.

RSS feeds?

I finally got the nnrss backend in Gnus working, so I have something I can use to read RSS feeds. I only have a couple in there now (the one for the donut.mit.edu blog and Slashdot's); are there any I might be interested in? It looks like there are a couple listings but they're not too useful just because of sheer volume and it being hard to tell if a particular feed is actually worthwhile. I'm open to suggestions for things people like, or think I might like, or even just dumps of your .meetings file or equivalent.
