Helping others with Radio Userland

28 August 2004   

 

root.cellar: connection refused, and fixed

Point one, I like pubSub, it's my eyes and ears in my aggregator.

Point 2, I like it when people say nice things, as this chap does.

Yesterday I had a burp in my ability to blog. The "Radio Userland" tool I use relies on a connection To their server From *my* server (their Tool running), and theirs was refusing a connection. The link goes to a Discussion Group thread I started asking for help. This chap Steve Hooker is a sensational helper, a real programming guru with a heart. But it turns out there was nothing wrong with their server or my local 'server' tool at all. Boiling it down, what fixed it was restoring my C drive from a drive image I'd made back on August 2nd with Powerquest DriveImage 7, which anyone on Windows really should have.

Turns out not everything is fixed. Long story, but I've ended up with fonts and various other elements from months ago.
Nice things. I've been helping on the Radio Userland dicussion group for, I guess for several years. One thing I've noticed, is that either people dive into the object orientated database that is Radio and start deleting or modifying things without knowing what they're doing, thus screwing something fairly small, which cascades into total screw up. Or, they suspect Radio, because it don't work like it did yesterday, even if there's nothing wrong with Radio - the cause is usually outside Radio's environment, a newly erected firewall, a moved Radio file, or as in David's case, a back up 'issue.'
