Hello readers of Jayber Residuals. The residual links have now been combined with the main blog, which means that there is now only one RSS feed for Jayber. The main feed (http://jayber.org/index.xml) contains both regular posts, as well as residual links. The old feed (http://jayber.org/residuals/index.xml) has been... terminated.
