And... We're Back
Posted by Patrick on Wednesday, August 01, 2007Happy to be back after a few days of interwebish darkness. Somebody was repeatedly pinging our site's RSS(aka XML) feed file, somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty-thousand times in a month, and used up all our site's allotted bandwidth. Bandwidth is another one of those intangible metering measurements, kind of like how they bill you for natural gas. Much like torque, no one knows exactly what bandwidth is, but there is both a price and a limit on it.
So, I had to change our RSS feed address. It's lame to do such a thing, but I think it will help keep things operational while I dig around and find a more permanent way to stop the excessive pinging. Our new RSS address is:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/rockland-ave/YOsn
For those of you who don't know about the mystical time-saving goodness of RSS, here's a little info on it. Kate likes Google Reader for her RSS feed needs, and I've been way into Netvibes.com for the many sites I like to keep tabs on, but don't feel the need to spend hours a day checking for new stuff.
So, if you're a loyal Rockland-ave RSS subscriber, please update your feed link. We'll try to keep the lights on 'till through the end of the month.
