gmail has troubles sending mail
Right now it looks as if emails to specific recipients did not go through. They are in my sent box. But the people never received them.
Not that nice.
Not sure how far back it goes.
A couple of months ago BlogsNow stopped accepting pings.
Pings are these little messages basicallly saying “hello Service XYZ here is weblog ABC, I have new content”.
The mother of all these ping servers is weblogs.com. Just got sold to Verisign.
I started to ignore pings, since they were mostly spam.
That did not stop them: Right now I am getting half a million pings a a day at BlogsNow. I would guess that 99.9 % of them are spam. Maybe I have a look one day and then use them to build a blacklist …
BlogsNow had a little hickup. An old index issue finally prevented one of it’s main tables to accept new entries. The easiest remedy was to delete the last four million weblogs that had been added.
They will come back, I am sure.
My dear friend Andrew deserves his american citizenship. Only a true american can go to Europe and have the results of it on one page.

Like having a free gPhone. Connects via wifi and the net.
Just ’cause. It it cheap and simple enough for them to do.
And so much more.
