sknoblog RSS feed broken :-(

It seems that something I added on sknoblog recently has broken the RSS feed that I was using in my newsreader application. This may be happening to you too… The RSS 2.0 link at the bottom of the sidebar works fine though. So if you wandered to the web site to see if sknoblog was…

tiny Radio Vince

Hot on the footsteps of Radio Vince and mini Radio Vince (at the top of this page), here comes tiny Radio Vince, which I will henceforth use to allow playback of a single song. Thanks to tiny Radio Vince, you won’t have to wade through 30 plus songs to listen to my new releases, and…

A little housekeeping news

I’ve blogged about Internet Explorer for Windows hell recently. I even stirred things up a little on a Macintouch forum on « Mac Marginalization » on the web, regarding sites that only work on IE Win and shut out the Mac, where most posters argued that you should stick with web standards, and everything will be fine.…

Dumb and Dumber

I tried a dumb little freeware program this morning, one that records the TV stream I get via ADSL onto the Mac HD. Even though I recorded the test stream on my internal hard disk, the program wiped out a bunch of directories on my main, external hard disk (I know the program is the…

Major outage

Seems like the server my sites are on suffered a major meltdown. But my ISP told me it would end up OK and it seems they were right.

sknoblog buggin

Server problems. Display problems on the Safari browser at least (which is why I tried switching to the default presentation theme). More later, if I can access sknoblog long enough to diagnose the problem(s). 🙁

iMac HD update & a software gem

So as I said I would in my recent post on the bad blocks on my internal hard disk, I went out and bought a third external Firewire hard drive. This purchase was long overdue, because no matter what, I need to be able to backup my system, not just my data which is on…

iMac Hard Disk Dying?

I have bad blocks that keep appearing on the internal hard disk of my iMac G5, crippling the system. Before Apple will replace the drive, they want me to do a low-level format to see if it fixes things. I suppose it is a reasonable request. So I’m running off of a bare-bones system on…

That was close!

If you connected earlier today, you probably saw either a PHP error message repeated a zillion times or the following message on a blank page: Friday, January 6, 2006 It looks like « sknoblog » was totally hosed during « routine maintenance » by my ISP… And of course, I don’t have a recent backup of the database that…

Long time no post

I’m busy…working 🙁 As is often the case, I did feel like commenting on various current events (US gov’t approving intelligent design & torture, riots in France by French youth who want to be treated like mainstream citizens, not replace the French republic by an islamic one, etc, etc.), but there is plenty to read…
