Sorry. I screwed up.

Jun 23 2009 Published by Niyaz PK under General

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.
