Offline

My homeserver is offline. No idea what caused this. DSL line, hardware?
Really No idea.
I’ll be at home in 1 & 1/2 hour. I’ll hope to solve the issue soon.

:: update, server seems to be online again ::

P Log-readers

Just wondering when Adam will annouce the availability of the Personal Log Readers he would offer for free to the weblog community …

his own loglezer (collection of rss feeds at a webpage) should have much more features. Myheadlines (the one I am using) is offering: XML-RPC (remote publishing to your weblog, sending headlines per e-mail etc) The logreader of Adam is a plain simple setup ;-) with lack of features.

Another alternative for a personal log-reader is bloglines

Rss feeds @ BNN.weblog

1. you have to select: do you want that your posts can be used by someone else to get the XML icon (so have a hyperlink to the RSS feed).

bug / security issue:
Even when you do not select this option you can have the RSS feed by adding the ?view=rss at the end of the blog-URL. That’s bad.

The explanation of BNN by explaining the XML icon:
With XML someone can use your message at his/her own site. XML is just a kind of code. And that’s it.

BNN With Weblogs

TV/Radio station BNN has started serving weblogs for people.
No RSS feeds.
Yup.. just add ?view=rss behind the url and it’s giving you the RSS

This service is a way (they think) to gain more members. I think it sucks.
I’ve just tested it for a few minutes:
My URL @ BNN the RSS feed
No permalinks, images uploading?
I’ve reached my limit, with using 0 images. Okay my error probably.

Yup: it really sucks. It sucks less than earlier cause RSS is possible

Radio Veronica

a lot of dutch weblogs do write about the start of Radio Veronica, a dutch radio broadcaster with a rich history. It’s back in the air again.

I’ve tried to listen yesterday/today: Region Apeldoorn/Amersoort. And the sound is really really bad and disturbed. Try to travel by car at highway A1 and listen. It’s not having fun. Okay they just started and I’ve give them some credit which I will do. So if some technical people read it: have fun improving your sound quality. The music is ok.
