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!)

    Have you seen the sneak preview for the next version of Trillian? You should take a look at it. I know lots of folks use MSN or Yahoo for more than just text IM (unlike me), and haven’t gone with a tool like Trillian because of that, but it looks like they are going to…

    A reader emails: (Gee I sound all important, don’t I? *L*) “Some IT-ers will wear T-shirts saying, “NO I will NOT fix your computer” Personally, I love doing that. I get a charge out of it. I’d volunteer to do it. I noticed my brother-in-law needed a bit of help with his, so I volunteered…

  • Attensa

    Among the many news items coming out of Gnomedex last week, I saw an announcement of a public preview for a new Outlook-based RSS reader, Attensa. So being ever so curious, I downloaded it this weekend. It’s actually not bad. It supports importing OPML, is pretty customizable, allows you to publish items to your blog…
