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 are not authorised to access that resource”
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.
Now that I have my DSL back, may be I should try to look into this problem myself.
Interesting typepad feature
Happened to visit Mena’s blog and found the following icon
Seems to be ring for Typepad users and they seem to be using ringsurf. Neat feature
Back to civilization!
After numerous attempts I finally got DSL yesterday. Phew! Aah the
feeling was good. Actually it was nice not to have DSL for sometime,
got some time to laze around
Back to the grind!

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..
Eric Raymond's Blog
Interesting Blog site
Found blog herald thro Winer. Seems like a pretty interesting site to keep oneself updated with news about blogging.

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!
