Shots fired during UK rap concert is a pretty scary headline to see in my newsreader and immediately made me think of the situation in columbus where a similar thing happened. However if you read this story, thankfully no-one was hurt as the shots were just fired into the ceiling.
However I then carried on reading and saw that it took place at the Academy in Brixton, London – a club that I went to whilst at university to see Petra perform. I remember people saying that it was a rough place but the comments were in a joking tone.
A pretty impressive set of lego – the envy of all the local kids…..Lego Imperial Star Destroyer (10030)
I should really start a new category called feedster.
Anyway, going to the handles page on feedster gives the error message “File not found: ‘/home/feedster.com/htdocs//z/templates/st_v2_myfeedster_pb_en.htm'” – oops.
Now feedster is really starting to annoy me as their whole username/password/email account system is broken.
When you sign up for a username and password at feedster you also give an email address. However, you can have multiple accounts with the same email address in the database (as I’ve just proved by logging in with a new accountname and the same email address that is already valid on their database). However, if you have forgotten the password for an account and request a new password, the new password is unlikely to be for the original account that you signed up with – therefore you can never log in with this original account.
However, if you then login as a new account (my third account now) and try to claim the feed it originally says that the feed is not in the database and it needs to be added and then when you click on the add this feed to the database you get “string(73) “Duplicate entry ‘http://feeds.feedburner.com/absoblogginlutely’ for key 1″” followed by “Thank you for letting us know about this feed. We’ll index it on our next pass (generally within the next 1 to 3 hours)!” So we now have the situation where user account names do not match up with email address’s and the passwords AND there may, or there may not be more than one unique urls in the database.
I actually caught the aim account online last week and asked if they could have a look at it and they said they would later in the day but it still doesn’t work – very frustrating.
Update After posting this I go down to the pc where I was originally working and see an IM giving me a working username/password – so thanks to feedster2003 on IM – now I just need to delete the spurious accounts 🙂
Update2 Now that I’m in, I can’t change my password – I’m guessing it is because it goes something like this….. update password=”new password” where username=username and oldpassword=oldpassword and emailaddress=emailaddress and I bet one of those is wrong….
Kristen has just done her taxes for last year in about 15 minutes. That is pretty good going by any standards.
Movalog: Firefox Search Plugins allow you to search for MT content from the quicksearch button within firefox. Very handy!
Friday was unseasonally hot with temperatures apparently reaching 18degrees which is pretty good for the uk. I think it was spring trying to show us that it was ready for today (first day of spring). However the effort was clearly too much as Saturday and Sunday have been dreary and overcast – but at least it is not raining.
4 phone calls, 3 departments and a very hard to understand voicemessage I have found the Importation of Pets and Other Animals into the United States page (this page also has information on birds, dogs,monkeys and turtles) which states “Pet cats are subject to inspection at ports of entry for evidence of infectious diseases that can be transmitted to humans (zoonotics). If a cat appears to be ill, further examination by a licensed veterinarian might be required. There is no rabies vaccination requirement for cats. Following entry into the United States, all cats are subject to state and local vaccination requirements. Looks like we don’t need any further documentation as far as the states are concerned. The airline needs some paperwork too though…..
That zoonotics makes a nice word-of-the-day.
