Here Comes The Summer...

Confusion runs riot. Or rather, it doesn't. Not for the principal players, anyway! Petruchio and Katherina are fairly clear :)

Managed to get tickets for U2 in Glasgow in August sorted out fairly easily. Kinda gratifying to see 30 quid tickets listed a few hours later on websites for over 120 quid each! This summer so far I've got Cirque de Soleil and U2 sorted out, which is a fairly low set so far - will have to arrange another couple of outings at least.

Next weekend is Animals Weekend with Cathy, and the week after that will mostly be work around the house I suspect.

Got a couple of weeks off work coming up - might try a run down to Hadrian's Wall for the day, or maybe across to East Fortune - depends on the weather probably. Be nice to do something other than stuff in the house while I'm off, and everyone else is at work :)

In other news, the Newton is back to playing silly beggars for doing blog posts again. Who knows why... but I have to admit I'm suspecting Blogger more than the Newt TBH, as problems seem to be time of day dependent (i.e. after 20:30 seems to be problematic, but before is fine... hmmm...)

Phew !

Ok, left it for most of the day-are things back to normal now?

Yes, it would seem so! Woohoo!!!

Ahem. I should probably explain. These blog entries are handwritten on an Apple Newton (in Notes) then published using Adam Tow's nBlog software - literally, write, push a button, blog. It's awesome (dood!) when it works. Which makes it all the more annoying/scary when it stops working like it did last night. Still, at least I took the opportunity to check if emailing the blog entries in would work - thanks to Simon Bell's Mail V and fastmail.fm, it sure does!

Coming soon - a real blog about real stuff!

End of the road for Newton and nBlog?

Now wondering if I've been being harsh on nBlog and the Newton since it now seems that none of the devices can publish a post ! What's going on? Has BlogSpot changed something somewhere?

Minor nBlog Annoyance...

Ok, let's see how we go with a quick test from a different folder...
For future reference... had a minor issue where nBlog started to fail when sending blog posts. Irritatingly the errors appeared to be coming from the XMLRPC layer's FSM rather than from nBlog itself. The solution in the end was to use SAI Prefs Cleaner to delete prefs for nBlog:ATOW, then re-enter the details for accessing blogger.com, then refresh the blog list. This seemed to get everything back on track, and posts flowing again. Ho-hum.
