I installed plugin “Smart 404″ to handle broken URLs to labels – it’s working fine

But now archive URLs are different and RSS feed URLs are different – it is minor problem

Google has decided to drop FTP support in Blogger since March this year. So what should I do?

  1. to switch to something.blogspot.com and lose all my search engines entrances?
  2. to switch to Blogger’s “custom domain” (probably shaos.net) and again lose all my search engines entrances?
  3. to say good-bye to Google Blogger and convert my blog to something else in the same place (shaos.net/blog) and save all my search engines entrances?

P.P.S. It looks like more political than technical decision – they simply … Continue Reading

My PowerMac G4 400MHz with Debian GNU/Linux 4.1 (that works as my home server and internet gateway since last summer) just got 157 days uptime (without reboots since January 28th 2009) before yesterday strange hanging that was resolved by manual rebooting…P.S. Electric power stability is provided by APC Back-UPS ES 750 that may keep the server working without electricity for more than 40 minutes!
