I use SyncIt <\/a>on my PC and on Margie’s. It’s an incredibly cool service that keeps a synchronized copy of your IE Favorites online, where they not only serve as a backup, but can be sychronized with yet another machine. So my notebook and Margie’s PC can have the same Favorites (editable by either of us). And if I’m on a strange machine, I can get access to them via the web page.<\/p>\n

Or … not, at the moment. They’ve been basically down for two weeks, with catastrophic drive array failures, backup failures, new equipment failures, and the other sort of stuff that turns sysadmins gray just to hear about. Messages on the website <\/a>like …<\/p>\n

We are still working on the restauration of the database. As the latest effort syncing to new disks was not successfull, we are now looking into data restoration services.<\/p>\n

… don’t fill me with confidence.<\/p>\n

Which is a shame, because it’s been a damned fine and convenient service (with a very reasonably low fee) to have.<\/p>\n

Speaking of which — is anyone having serious flakiness problems with Blogrolling.com<\/a>? It seems that, over the past two or three weeks, the reliability of my blogroll showing when updates take place has dropped from 90% to about 30% — meaning I have to go out and check each site manually anyway.<\/p>\n

Part of it may be that a lot of people are reducing the number of sites they ping when they update their blog (or not pinging at all), to save time. Part of it is that it sounds like <\/a>the blogrolling servers or bandwidth are getting maxxed out. And part of it may be that I get ping timeouts about half the time with weblogs.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n

But whatever the reason(s), it’s damned annoying. Stop it. Now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
