Lockergnome

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I said earlier that I was reserving judgement on the new Lockergnome layouts and things until after I’ve used them for awhile, and I intend to do just that. However, one thing that is irritating me (And today, everything is irritating me, so maybe it’s just my mood.) is that the RSS feed for the IT Specialist content always shows up as new in NewsDesk, no matter that it hasn’t been new since last week, and that I’ve marked it “read” in NewsDesk time and time again.

Update: Once I got a comment that confirmed I wasn’t the only one seeing this, I went ahead and dropped an email to the feedback address for their site. Meryl was kind enough to let me know that she would pass along the info to the proper “behind the scenes” folks to get it corrected!

    Last night’s projects, while staying up to watch the Islanders shutout the Sharks 3-0, (whoo hoo!) included downloading a copy of Newsmonster and upgrading the Red Hat 7.1 Workstation to 8.0. On the Red Hat front, I still haven’t found a solution to the network card problem on the server edition of Red Hat, but…

    Morten passed along this link, which is a place for you to validate your robots.txt file. He mentioned it to me because the robots.txt file I just put up on Monday had a typo in it. How embarrassing, but also how cool that it took less than 48 hours for someone to give me a…

    Just a quick note. I noticed that someone purchased a baseball jersey from the One Man IT Department Store. To this individual I say, thank you, first off! Also, would you consider dropping me a line and letting me know about the quality of the baseball jersey? I like to keep up with what Cafepress…

    Comments are broken , email to my domains is broken, etc. Site’s still here, so that’s something at least. I’m sure the host will be working on it and have it working again soon, in the meantime, if you need to reach me think Gmail. (mike.mcbride) Tags: broken Follow these topics: Uncategorized
