Don’t know what happened but all but one of my channels are now gone. The only one that is left is The Accordion Guy. I just sent an email to the maintainer but looks to me like I am going to have to rebuild them from scratch. And I don’t want to! The damn things were there and now they aren’t. Makes me want to change to another aggregator. If I wasn’t comfortable with Shrook I would right now. I haven’t had major computer problems since changing back to the Mac and this has really upset me.

Guess I need to try to remember the list of channels I had. Was not a real long list but I use the computer because my memory for things like this really sucks.

UPDATE
Just heard back from Graham Parks, of Shrook fame, about the problem. Turns out he had his new server go down and had to revert to an old backup server which wasn’t up to date and it drove Shrook a bit bonkers on some machines.

I have managed to get about 70% of my channels back and the ones I can’t remember must not have made much of an impression on me. Or maybe I will remember them later on. Or not.

Taught me an important lesson though. I now have a backup of the OPML file squirled away for this kind of happenchance so maybe it won’t happen again. If only I can remember to update it after adding new entrys…

Joey has a cool looking bike! Wish we had roads out here that were more conducive to bike riding. I want to hit the links and read the stuff Duff has written about life as a Bike Courier too.

This one I don’t want to try. I may do so in spite of my misgivings but something tells me to let others try and evaluate it and save the $150 that it costs. Free 30 day trial. Not saying that there is anything wrong with the product. Just would rather have a support forum that I can talk to others about both good and bad things concerning a product before I plunk down that kind (or any for that matter) of money on a piece of software. When will Mac orientated software companies figure this out? Surely I’m not the only Mac user that feels this way…

Cool little app. Gonna have to get to know it better. Tried two or three of the multiple clipboard programs but none of them so far have worked like I want them to (like linux)…

“Artificial light illuminates our lives, allowing us to work or play through the night. But, we toy with our body clocks at severe risk to our wellbeing”

Interesting article. And not the first time I have seen most of this info. Does make some kind of sense. Same kind of thing that causes seasonal depression with the lack of natural light in fall and winter.
