The problem here really is just my dear ISP (Verizon) behaving badly. I can't access my server either from outside right now. I think I am connected to a flaky router on Verizon's end. I will disconnect tonight for a while and then re-attach and hopefully I'll get a different DHCP address and a better router (unfortunately I don't have a static IP so there are a few moving parts in keeping my server visible and accessible).
If anyone else wants to volunteer a more reliable WebDAV server for the publish/subscribe facility feel free to contact me. |

Oh, it's Verizon.
They're probably too busy doing "you know what" to actually provide a product or service. Thanks for letting me know. BTW, I'm really into this eBook idea and the extra dimensions that rss gives it. I also have a very reliable FreeBSD server on a permanent link. Email me and let's talk about it. |

Greetings all, just wanted to mention that, probably from the same outage keeping everyone from geekraver's feed server, the MSI is unavailable for the Rss2Book app itself.
Sigh, and I just got HTMLDoc installed. -Rich |

Dear GeekRaver--
I have have a site that has 99.9% uptime. I can't install components on it (it is a web hosting server and I don't have RDP access) but I am happy to provide space if that helps. FtB |

The basic requirement of a publish/subscribe server is WebDAV filesystem support; I believe IIS has this and Apache certainly does via the DAV module. If anyone has a reliable server with that then I can make the switch.

I also have some hosting space, and I'd love to make ASmallOrange earn their pennies since I don't use my account all that much.

You don't have the "Apply extractor to linked content..." checkbox checked, do you?

LRF Fails
Hi Geekraver:
I upgraded to 2.4 from 2.3 on a Vista Machine. When I try to do a RSS to LRF I get a crash of Web2Book. I turned off direct sycn directely to the reader, and a file is generated in HTM even though I set LRF. This file reads using the browser. I assume you must download .htm and convert to LRF. I assume this is where the crash is. I went back and tested 2.3 and it also makes a HTM when set to LRF, however, it does not crash. When I use RTF, all is well. So, what do you think? Thought you might want to know. Also, I cannot get RSS Subscriptions to load. Does this come from your server that is down? Phil |

As for subscribing, yes, my Internet connectivity is flaky. Verizon has some bad routers and it can be difficult to get disassociated from them (and only once in 5 years have I ever got hold of a tech support person there who wasn't near braindead and reading from a script, telling me to reboot my Windows PCs when my whole network, including Macs and Linux box, where equally affected). Inspector Gadget has offered to help and I'll make a rel 25 soon that will fall back to his site. |

Geekraver,
I heard Leo Laporte saying on net@nite that he bought a Sony Reader and I saw him discussing it on Jaiku. I posted to let him know about my enthusiasm for web2book and he said he'd try it. I'm waiting to see if he mentions it on any of his podcasts. |
