    • ]]>     For some reason it seems I cannot access Google Reader from my home computer.

    Actions:
    1. Log in to view my iGoogle start page
    2. Go to my “Content” tab, where the Google Reader gadget is displayed properly (that is with unread items)
    3. Click on the title of the gadget to access the full version of Google Reader

    Expected behaviour:
    1. The full version of Google Reader should be displayed

    Actual behaviour:
    1. Login screen is displayed asking me for my password
    2. Entering and validating my login credentials will take me back to the login screen
    3. Repeat 1.

    Anyone has had similar problem before? I run Ubuntu 7.04, Firefox 2.0.0.6 with a couple of extensions (e.g. Gmail notifier, Customize Google) and the preference to delete all cookies and browsing history at exit. Restarting Firefox doesn’tfix the issue.

    I must precise that all other Google services work as intended (Google Docs, Gmail etc.)…

    WEIRD!

    [Update] It seems the CustomizeGoogle extension was at the origin of the bug. I disabled the option to switch to a secure connection (https) which solved the problem instantly… So what does this mean? Google Reader servers are not supporting secure connections? I doubt it.

    • ]]>     I enjoy reading feeds, and I like it even more since Google updated their feed aggregator Google Reader. Everyday I browse through about 60 blog feeds to stay in touch with the Internet industry, news around the world and friends. The problem is that this is very time consuming – it takes me at least an hour to get my daily content fix (yes, I’m addicted!)…

    If you have no time for such activity but still would like to know what the heck is going on, I regularly update my link blog which collects and displays items I have read and found interesting from my feeds. A condensate of content, just for you… :)
