Recently I’ve been having this problem with my WordPress + Bad Behavior + Delicious blog posting combo, in a nut shell, delicious was showing an error:

[10/22/08 05:00:03 AM -0700] Creating blog post at http://correct_url.com/xmlrpc.php ...ERROR: Failed due to General Exception: Curl returned non 200 HTTP code: 417. Response body:

And I couldn’t work out why, after some digging/googling, I thought to look in my bad behaviour logs, and found a match for my apache log…


76.13.6.189 - - [19/Oct/2008:23:00:29 +0100] "POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.1" 417 796 "-" "PEAR_XML_RCP2/0.0.x"

I’ve contacted both yahoo (who now own delicious)

I’m looking for booty….. I mean Clank…. with a big lazer-rocket-thingy!!!!

• MacBook and MacBook Pro review – Engadget
  The new MacBooks / Pros come off as the perfect storm of recent iMacs and the MacBook Air. The edges of the laptops are rounded, smooth metal, and the plastic joining pieces which once held the case together have been jettisoned for the nearly-seamless new design. The bodies of the laptops are laid out in essentially the same manner as older MacBook Pros, though the keyboard has been updated to the MacBook / Air "chicklet" style (resting in a slight depression), the trackpad is now missing its one button (more on that in a little bit), the speaker grilles (on the Pro) are a much finer and more evenly perforated pattern, and there are stylish nips and tucks pretty much everywhere else.

It seems like ages since I started friggin about with linickx.com.

The basic deal is I wanted to completely re-design my website, in doing this I also wanted to simplify the up-keep/maintenance of it too, this resulted in me moving from gallery to WP’s internal gallery, i.e. when it came to patching and upgrading, one less thing to worry about. The downside of this maneuver has been my image gallery had to be manually imported into wordpress, and then every post with an image had to be found and updated, well I think I’m finally there!

Ubiquity is rocking my Firefox world!

Emulating software is a very grey area for Cisco, they make their money by selling boxes so I guess officially Cisco don’t approve of things like GNS3 and PEMU. BUT cisco make a lot of their money from techies training in Cisco products who then get their management to buy boxes their certified in, as a result cisco appear to turn a blind eye to emulating their products for personal training purposes
