New Bloglines Web Services Selected by FeedDemon, NetNewsWire and Blogbot to Eliminate RSS Bandwidth Bottleneck.

“Bloglines Web Services address a key issue facing the growing RSS market by reducing the bandwidth demands on sites serving syndicated news feeds. Now, instead of thousands of individual desktop PCs independently scanning news sources, blogs and web sites for updated feeds, Bloglines will make low-bandwidth requests to each site on behalf of the universe of subscribers and cache any updates to its master web database. Bloglines will then redistribute the latest content to all the individuals subscribed to those feeds via the linked desktop applications — FeedDemon, NetNewsWire or Blogbot — or via Bloglines’ free web service. ”

Google is spending some of the cash it raised from its IPO on headhunting staff to build a web browser. Staff have already been poached from Microsoft and Sun.

Joshua Bloch, a senior Java developer at Sun, and four people from Microsoft’s IE team have all joined the firm in the last few weeks, according to the New York Post. One of the four, Adam Bosworth, was also a lead developer in the development of Access.

I got stuck and found this.

Now it didn’t solve my problems – but got me to a level base line as it’s a work’s toy.

My problem that under the “Authentification” tab I had to check “Network Authentification” and “The key is provided for me automatically” to enter the the “Network key”. But then if I did not uncheck the “Network Authentification” afterwards – the Axim couldn’t talk to my SMC2655W!

So OPML export is actually in WordPress v1.2 but not documented!

So my links feed is actually hanging off http://www.thirdvisit.co.uk/mx/wp-links-opml.php

posting as another user, yup it’s a test!

I never noticed, but since I started my blog it’s been mis-splet!

The wife’s first comment was, you don’t spell “groto” like that…

I have just migrated from pmachine 2.2 (knowledge of phpMyAdmin required)
“pmachine import problems from v2.2 or how I spent Sept 3rd, or very early Sept 4th”

My advice
First udpate pmachine to 2.3

“Point your browser to the pm/updates/index.php file on your server. This file will update you to version 2.3 Be sure that you’re accessing the file through your webserver and not just loading the file into your web browser locally. Access the file as you would a regular webpage, using an address similar to http://www.yourdomain.com/pm/updates/index.php.”

Well it doesn’t you have to run this in the browser to: /pm/updates/update_2.3.php
