Sometimes I hate RSS

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Something in this post has been causing “An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource ‘https://www.mikemcbrideonline.com/blogger_rss.xml’. Line 23, Position 772 “.

I have run out of ideas on what it might be, so I guess anyone reading in a aggregator is going to have to come to the site until that post moves out of the RSS feed!!!!

Later… I think I found it. Amphetadesk was choking on an apostrophe, for some reason, even though there were at least 2 other apostrophe’s in the same post earlier than the one it was choking on. And it wasn’t just Amphetadesk, as the same error showed if you just tried to open the XML link in a browser.

By the way I found it by opening the XML file in HTMLKit, which has a line/position thingy. (Yeah that’s the technical term!)

    I have a question, when you’re switching from using Outlook Express 6 to Outlook 2000, why does Outlook refuse to import message rules that are incompatible with older versions of Outlook? At least I think that’s what happened, when I imported the message rules, all of the “mail from specified account” rules didn’t import, and…

    The concept of realtime blogging at conferences is a bad idea. Not only is it rude to the speakers, because you’re obviously not paying as much attention and thinking about what they are saying, it’s a waste of your time and money. Case in point, how many bloggers have written something like “Missed some stuff…

    Picture this, it’s 11:45PM, the wife is soundly sleeping, I’m well on my way, when I hear my pager. It’s the work voice mail system paging me to let me know someone left me a voice mail. Someone leaving me a voice mail at 11:45PM cannot possibly be a good thing. I get up, go…

    I’ve been thinking about a couple of things for awhile now and I feel like I should share with you some of the reasons why I am doing things the way I am. First, the switch to Flickr from the galleries, that will be taking place bit by bit over the next few weeks or…
