Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So wtf is up with bloglines anyway? Besides being down that one day, all sorts of things that were working have gotten all wonky. I started thinking of switching to google reader even before bon bon's post. I'd rather not (just because I'm lazy) - is there any word on wtf is up with bloglines?

Now tagless for your comfort.

GRRRR. I'm fucking something up because I can't get this bastard to work. I'm going to unplug everything for the day and start fresh tomorrow.

Coding and Sleeping

Interestingly, unlike XP, Ubuntu 8.04 installed without a hiccup.

Ubuntu 8.04 was by far the easiest install I've ever done of an OS.

Sorry about your router Cashmere, whenever my old Linksys router lost it, I unplugged it and my cable modem for about a minute, then plugged in the cable modem and let it get a connection, then plugged in the router. That usually did the trick until the router stopped working entirely. I replaced it not too long ago with a $30 Netgear router and haven't had a problem since. I probably just go unlucky, but when I got that router I first of all had to return two others, the first one dropped connections about every 10 minutes, the second one started smoking after about a half hour of use, and the one that worked would still lose its connections every week or so. Wireless was problematic as well.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Thanks for the google reader assistance -- it doesn't quite do what I'm looking for, but maybe I'll just re-sort my feeds to approximate it.

When I searchedall I could find were people bitching about how flaky it is, and how support and the forums are useless. It's super annoying that bloglines doesn't communicate when/why they're down. This was the tipping point for me: [link]

Heh. Thanks.

Well, sometimes they have that plumber guy, when they're down for scheduled maintenance....

Say, you don't suppose that's Joe the plumber, do you?

Yeah, I'll probably end up switching to google reader....

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

bon bon, I am dying with the twitters that are in other languages - and complaining about bloglines!

bloglines fucked up my feeds about 2-3 years ago and I moved to google reader.
