Dear Taxi Uncle, as a transport professional, ferrying many each day, you are not allowed to have body odour. You may also not scratch your armpits, whistling as you drive. Thank you.

Dear Taxi Uncle, thank you for pointing out that I speak Mandarin funny. I tried to save you the agony by speaking to you in English, but it seems you, too, are shamefully monolingual.

Yes, I really do want to take this route. Thank you. Yes, yes, this route. Yes. This one right here.

Dear Taxi Uncle, no I never did doubt that you own a successful sideline business, live in a big house, have several mistresses in addition to your beautiful wife or used to be murderously handsome in your heyday. I believe you.

I’ve just extra-organised my 269 feeds in Google Reader. I say “extra” and not “reorganised” because I didn’t move anything around, but rather, classified several categories of feeds into larger umbrella labels.

The problem with Google Reader is that it lacks the capability to have nested folders—a feature much requested for on the forums, it seems. Nonetheless, as much as I love Reader, it doesn’t do that yet.

However, like Gmail’s foldering structure, it treats labels not as categories the feeds belong in, but tags that identify each feed.

So I just added an extra label in caps to feeds that are already in similar groups, shrinking 29 categories down into 5 umbrella categories I can just breeze through.

Friends get a category of their own, and don’t get lumped. ‘Cos those feeds are top priority.
