- I'm trying a little experiment this year. Writing the list of what I need to shop for - all the people, all the presents that'd suit them, as normal - but I'm going to give the presents to the wrong people. The trick will be to make the 'wrong' gifts right in some way, by including a smidgeon of the intended recipients' personality in the 'wrong' choice. For example, my 15-yr old nephew was going to get the Sim City game. My sister, who's not a big computer fan, is getting it instead - because she's a town planner in Cambridge. |

Bug reblog (Dec 08 2003 17:58 GMT) - Michael Moncur has configured his Apache server to return 403 errors to Ximian Evolution RSS requests, which he says comprise "inan effective distributed DOS attack against my site" until, he says, Ximian's programmers pay attention to his bug reports.Betcha this one gets fixed fast.If it does, it'll confirm my belief that the problems here are matters of implementation tweaking rather than of inherent problems with RSS or its purposes. |
