Busy

I'm very busy at work. Things to launch, things to convice people about, blurgh...
Consequently most of my RSS reading that used to happen in quite moments during the office has had to be done during my 90 minute commute. I can bookmark to delicious from iPhone's Safari, but 3G is patchy, slow and Safari isn't a nice way to consume the Intenet when you are mobile unless you long for the days of 28kbp/s dial-up.
Newsgator, the RSS reader, solves this problem - fetching feeds, and sync'ing them across all my different devices, letting me read them without having to surf - but creates a new problem in that now most of my RSS reading is done this way my delicious feed is withering. Newsgator lets you bookmark things (they call it 'clippings') but the API to this is a bit rubbish.
I like delicious, it's plugged in to various other pieces of me - my social graph, this website etc. I don't think anyone really uses delicious as a bookmark tool (search wins over manual recall every time), it's just a link consumption log for people with bad memories.
To cut a long story short, I've had to grab my Newsgator feed, diff it against the previous days to extract the new posts, then cross-post these to delicious. Too much hassle, but at least my delicious feed is now representing my daily consumption again.
