3 Major problems in Roller

The 3 most annoying problems in roller as of today

  • 404 errors from tomcat(The requested resource (Not Found) is not available.)
You get this error when u access ones site, this is resolved after a couple of refreshs.
  • “You are not authorised to access that resource”
This is the most annoying error! If it
happens when you post an entry, your entry is lost! so one has to copy
the entry to the buffer before posting. This also seems to happen if I
click the edit weblog and settings link. Grr..

  • An unexpected error has occured in Roller and
    has been logged for the Roller administrator.
The log file for Roller must be pretty big now!

Now that I have my DSL back, may be I should try to look into this problem myself.

After numerous attempts I finally got DSL yesterday. Phew! Aah the

got some time to laze around ;)

Neat site for Indian books

Ran into this site thro hinduonline

Although they have a small collection of books, some of the titles are
really interesting and nominally priced @ 3$. Here are some from their
collection that I intend to buy

Hindu is one of the oldest newpapers in india and their writeups are
indepth. There used be a time when I would wake up and enjoy the paper
sipping hot indian coffee..

Roller performance

Im not sure if many of you have noticed, but I sure have Freeroller is
much more stable (Still get a few 404s and login problems). Thanks to
Dave, Lance, Anthony and Mindaugus
The Roller dev list has been buzzing lately with performance
improvements. Its easy to whine when things dont worry but when
everything is hunky and dory we forget to thank the hard work that goes
behind the scenes.

Thanks guys!
