schestowitzFirst, it seems to me that many people are hitching their wagons to Paul without really looking at his record. While I can appreciate Senator Paul’s filibuster regarding the use of drones abroad and his opposition to the USA PATRIOT Act and the FREEDOM Act, he’s hardly the pinnacle of the classical liberal ideal. He’s still a politician.Jul 26 13:05

schestowitzHi Ron,Jul 26 22:30
schestowitzIt is always a pleasure to hear from readers, some of whom work for companies that I criticise (Novell, Microsoft and so on) and some of whom use Windows and look to escape to something different. I am always extremely careful not to divulge the identity of readers and sources and I even delete server logs, host with a friend whom I can trust (he would cope with canary in the coal mine scenario), avoid cookies and third party linkage etc.Jul 26 22:30
schestowitzSome people can lose their job (leakers) if I get this wrong because CRG, which is connected to British spies (not GCHQ), has been contracted to spy on me. I blame the EPO, which already admitted doing this.Jul 26 22:30
schestowitzI have always feared RSS feeds breaking. Common reasons are botched software updates, odd characters creeping in to invalidate feeds, or some broken redirections. Nothing is as bad as RSS feeds breaking silently because a lot of people follow the site purely through RSS (full body text is used intentionally), without having to load anything like a Web site, Web page, let alone comments (only people with registered site accounts can do Jul 26 22:30
schestowitzthat). I can recall having some RSS feeds issues in Tux Machines not too long ago, so I now syndicate my own site in Thunderbird. It assures that I'll catch any issues (as I did some months ago) rather quickly, without having to rely on reports of issues.Jul 26 22:30
schestowitzThunderbird is a bit funny and it got 'worse' in recent years (for me at least). To spare you the long story (I have used it for over a decade), sometimes Tux Machines, back when Susan ran it, ceased to refresh. The only way to get around that was to rebuild Thunderbird indexes (under properties in Thunderbird there are options to that effect) or resubscribe. I never understand what had happened (no Thunderbird crashes preceded this), so Jul 26 22:30
schestowitzI assumed it was a Thunderbird bug. I have just checked the RSS feed in Techrights and it seems to be OK, no fatal errors in it. It has not been changed (the address) since 2006 when the site was first set up.Jul 26 22:30
schestowitz> FWIW, I took a look at some of the other feeds I've got subscribed here,Jul 26 22:30
schestowitz> and I *do* have traffic that's been received after 7/16, so, it *might*Jul 26 22:30

schestowitz> Thunderbird. (Or, it could be something they did that only affectsJul 26 22:30
schestowitz> Techrights. Fun fun fun... hopefully not for *me* to figure out! <g>Jul 26 22:30
schestowitzIf you can't resolve this from the GUI (readding, reindexing), you could find the .mbox file in the appropriate folder under the settings/data thing (in Windows it's called something else) and purge it. To me it's a known issue; I've had even worse issues than that over the years, exacerbated when I had hard drive problems (physical) that corrupted some files, including settings files.Jul 26 22:30
schestowitzIf it wasn't for all the wonderful plugins for Thunderbird I'd probably consider going back to Kmail (I left it around 2003-4).Jul 26 22:30

schestowitzThat reminds me of some things while I was in Asia. I really like swimming pools in summer like a hippo would love a river, just to chill not to swim. Public swimming pools in Japan are very nice and cheap and I also was thrilled by the idea of seeing some Japanese chicks in swimsuits, therefore I went very often to a public pool near my place. I was very disappointed after learning Japanese women appreciate so much being white that they Jul 26 22:36

schestowitzI have a funny but very useful face that helped me a lot while travelling in Asia, it made me look like local most of the time. I have been mistaken by being a Japanese, Chinese and Indian, even in my homeland, but when I was in India I was mistaken by British three times. What made me look like that, my broken English or my dark skin? Have no idea but was amusing.Jul 26 22:36
schestowitzAnd some day, while talking to an Indian team mate she was describing me someone and said: “has a fair skin like you”. One thing is not getting enough sun and one having a fair skin.Jul 26 22:36

schestowitzHi Ron,Jul 26 22:30
schestowitzIt is always a pleasure to hear from readers, some of whom work for companies that I criticise (Novell, Microsoft and so on) and some of whom use Windows and look to escape to something different. I am always extremely careful not to divulge the identity of readers and sources and I even delete server logs, host with a friend whom I can trust (he would cope with canary in the coal mine scenario), avoid cookies and third party linkage etc.Jul 26 22:30
schestowitzSome people can lose their job (leakers) if I get this wrong because CRG, which is connected to British spies (not GCHQ), has been contracted to spy on me. I blame the EPO, which already admitted doing this.Jul 26 22:30
schestowitzI have always feared RSS feeds breaking. Common reasons are botched software updates, odd characters creeping in to invalidate feeds, or some broken redirections. Nothing is as bad as RSS feeds breaking silently because a lot of people follow the site purely through RSS (full body text is used intentionally), without having to load anything like a Web site, Web page, let alone comments (only people with registered site accounts can do Jul 26 22:30
schestowitzthat). I can recall having some RSS feeds issues in Tux Machines not too long ago, so I now syndicate my own site in Thunderbird. It assures that I'll catch any issues (as I did some months ago) rather quickly, without having to rely on reports of issues.Jul 26 22:30
schestowitzThunderbird is a bit funny and it got 'worse' in recent years (for me at least). To spare you the long story (I have used it for over a decade), sometimes Tux Machines, back when Susan ran it, ceased to refresh. The only way to get around that was to rebuild Thunderbird indexes (under properties in Thunderbird there are options to that effect) or resubscribe. I never understand what had happened (no Thunderbird crashes preceded this), so Jul 26 22:30
schestowitzI assumed it was a Thunderbird bug. I have just checked the RSS feed in Techrights and it seems to be OK, no fatal errors in it. It has not been changed (the address) since 2006 when the site was first set up.Jul 26 22:30

schestowitzIf you can't resolve this from the GUI (readding, reindexing), you could find the .mbox file in the appropriate folder under the settings/data thing (in Windows it's called something else) and purge it. To me it's a known issue; I've had even worse issues than that over the years, exacerbated when I had hard drive problems (physical) that corrupted some files, including settings files.Jul 26 22:30
schestowitzIf it wasn't for all the wonderful plugins for Thunderbird I'd probably consider going back to Kmail (I left it around 2003-4).Jul 26 22:30

schestowitzThat reminds me of some things while I was in Asia. I really like swimming pools in summer like a hippo would love a river, just to chill not to swim. Public swimming pools in Japan are very nice and cheap and I also was thrilled by the idea of seeing some Japanese chicks in swimsuits, therefore I went very often to a public pool near my place. I was very disappointed after learning Japanese women appreciate so much being white that they Jul 26 22:36
schestowitzswim with sweaters and caps … I’m not joking. At least they and Chinese women look cute walking with umbrellas on summer for the same reason.Jul 26 22:36
schestowitzI have a funny but very useful face that helped me a lot while travelling in Asia, it made me look like local most of the time. I have been mistaken by being a Japanese, Chinese and Indian, even in my homeland, but when I was in India I was mistaken by British three times. What made me look like that, my broken English or my dark skin? Have no idea but was amusing.Jul 26 22:36
schestowitzAnd some day, while talking to an Indian team mate she was describing me someone and said: “has a fair skin like you”. One thing is not getting enough sun and one having a fair skin.Jul 26 22:36

I told him the problem is with Capatcha system. It gives error that the code is wrong but the code is always right. When I enter the code three times I am blocked to submit that post.
