All my blog are belong Jeeves July 19, 2005
Posted by Andy Roberts in : internet , trackbackBloglines has decided to throw away all of my RSS subscriptions, all 200 plus many more of them, even the ones I never read.
I’ve been having trouble with net access too, not just in one place. It makes me wonder if perhaps one day we’ll all wake up and the internet won’t be there any more, or perhaps it will be electricity that goes first.
On my way to work thois morning I was thinking about how inept the terrorists are. The IRA were particularly bad it it, blowing themselves up without even meaning to. And this latest lot, well 4 suicides to take out 50+ civilian workers and disrupt the transport system for a few hours doesn’t create the most inspiring spectacle to show for all that planning does it? Not compared with flying an aeroplane full of fuel into a skyscraper. Sitting on a tube or bus with a backpack full of explosives shows real lack of imagination. If you wanted to create mahem and terror the best target would be the water supply. Hijack a few tankers full of the most toxic chemicals and dump them simultaneously into the reservoirs.
I was also wondering how many of the large proportion of London’s population who only gravitated here relatively recently are thinking about how and when they’ll be planning to move out somewhere else as soon as possible.

That might have been Bloglines having ‘downtime’…
Last night we suffered hardware failure with one of our cache servers. This meant sporadic issues with the site for about an hour, and a backup in processing feeds. The backup is diminishing and we expect to be back to normal shortly. We apologize for the problem and we’re continuing to strive to deliver the best possible service. - Frankie was right, it’s all back now.
