Yesterday was not the best day in the history of this blog. Probably those of you who subscribed to the feeds have noticed. I tried to combine the feeds from here and the voidy blog to one single feed and it resulted in a multitude of duplicate feeds to be sent to your inbox.

Really sorry for that. I will not try that again!

For the technically inclined, here is what I guess happened:

I used yahoo pipes to combine both the feeds:

pipe  = feed(diovo) + feed(voidy)

Then I burned this pipe as the original Feedburner feed.

feed = feed(diovo) + feed(voidy)

I am using the Feedsmith plugin for this blog. Feedsmith plugin redirects all the feed references in this blog to the original Feedburner feed.

feed(diovo) = feed

Therefore now the new feed (using yahoo pipes) becomes:

feed = feed + feed(voidy)

Yeah. I see.

For the last one year or so I have been using a desktop application that displayed an ad (something like 800 x 60 pixels) in its header.

Since yesterday the ad is not showing up. Now, I cannot recall what the ad was about!

It is a real shame that ads don’t work if used without permission. You try spamming me for a whole year, and I still see only what I want to.
