Confidential to Fairpoint Communications RSSOwl subscriber…

Hi everybody, this post is a public service announcement for the SpyParty fan who uses RSSOwl 2.0.1 and is a Fairpoint Communications customer.  Your RSS reader is configured to check its feeds once a minute, instead of a more reasonable once a day.

Helpfully yours,

The Management

If I could figure out how to have this post only go out over the RSS feed, I would.  :)

      Hah, it worked! Except ‘rssonly’ still appears in the sidebar, but oh well, that turns it into an easter egg. :)

  1. TehShrike says:

    Is that traffic really so painful to your server? That’s not a good sign!

    Mostly-unrelated: I would much appreciate it if you would push out full posts into the RSS feeds, instead of just a shortened version. Thanks, and carry on!

    • checker says:

      Nah, I just noticed it in the logs and figured the person might not know. ;)

      I’ll look into the full rss thing tonight.

  2. Gareth Pye says:

    It’d be much more fun if you could have gotten it to just be on his version of the RSS feed and add a new version every minute. I mean he obviously wants to hear new stuff from you that often :)

  3. Ron says:

    Not it.

  4. Rinaldo says:

    I check every 3 hours :)

    • checker says:

      Huh, I should run some stats and see how often most people check. I would post more, but I figure working on the game is more important. ;)

    • Dave Mark says:

      I know that Google Reader checks fairly often as long as your have the reader page open.

      I do find it startlingly ironic that checker is bitching about a checker. ;-)

    It’s not me!

  6. checker says:

    Well, the person got the message about an hour ago:

    71.168.xx.xxx – – [20/Apr/2010:14:39:50 -0500] “GET /feed/ HTTP/1.1” 200 10892 “-” “RSSOwl/2.0.1.200911252027 (Windows; U; en)”

    We’ll see if he or she notices. :)
