Is it obvious that I’ve found some other things to do with my time, like work or even play? Well, “play” is still a dream… but at least garden a little…

DasBlog is an open source project, so I need to be patient while waiting for a response to my query on the forums. In the meantime, perhaps someone else has experienced this and knows the cause and resolution.

Since Sunday, my blog has been throwing a wierd error that is causing the events log to bloat to 12 or more megs. My datafarm.com sites are in trouble. My webhost had to restart IIS on the web server.

Below is an example of the error. The errors cite different macros, but the rest is always the same. I have gone back to the default Blog Template, but the problem is still there. I recopied the DLL’s, but the problem continues.

So, a plea for help if anyone out there has experienced this. It happened suddenly with no changes to the site. I’ve seen two other unanswered questions about this error in the dasblog forums.

Here is what the error looks like:

l2 time 2006-08-14T15:28:11 code 1 message <span>Error:<br/>Error executing macro: bodytext. Make sure it you’re calling it in your BlogTemplate with paratheses like ‘myMacro()’.

I’ve been getting a new type of comment spam on my other blog. The spam is a statement that is very coherent and totally relevant to the post, but then at the end has a link to a page that is filled with a huge list of links to other pages on the site – all for the sake of trackbacks. My guess is that they are copying text from other blogposts, then googling for related blog posts then pasting the other blog’s text along with their own link into the comments.

When you live by rss feeds, you miss stuff like this beautiful redesign of Michele’s blog!

Like many, I have been overwhelmed by the full msdn blog list and realized that I don’t need to have so many blogs on topics I can’t focus on at all in my feed. So I finally did it. I removed the feed and have subscribed explicitly to a bunch of individual blogs.

Wonder why I didn’t know you had a baby? Wrote a book? Released your product? Changed jobs? So many blogs, so little time….  How do you keep up with your own blog list? [Read more …]

One of the nice things about having a smart client blogging app that let’s me store posts is that I can write to my hearts content about how I feel about what is going on in the Gulf Coast and rant  to my hearts content about the government’s slow and deadly response. I can get it out of my system and then save it and never even post it if I don’t want to.

Out of curiousity, I have added Google Adsense to my site. I hope nobody is offended. For some reason, it seems only to come up with ads related to blogging. If I point to a post with Christian Weyer’s name, then I get Christian Blogging. Sheesh. I have selected the “pay per click” model and have earned $1.04 already. LOL. I guess there aren’t too many Christian bloggers visiting my website. I don’t foresee doing this for much longer. I’ll report my findings.

Well, the big problem with a conference filled with bloggers is that EVERYONE is blogging about it and I have NO clue where to start finding out how the day went and what came out of it without pouring through hundreds of blogs. Can you say information overload?

When I find a good thread to begin on, I will post it here, in the mean time: you can start here
