April 2004 MSDN Lib is up on Subscriber Downloads.
School T1 really moves at 1:15AM - 160KB/sec.
KC Blogged about the lack of IT Bloggers. I signed up for a blog here on aspnet back when it was actually .net focused. The site has obviously changed quite a bit since then. I've always kept most of my non-.Net stuff at my own site - www.briandesmond.com.
With the route this site has gone, should I start cross posting general IT stuff here?
I've noticed this issue where intraVnews will periodically stop downloading certain feeds. It appears, based on my extensive research (err interpetation of the dialog), that after an error getting a feed, intraVNews will stop downloading it. This is easy to correct, though:
- Open the subscriptions dialog from the toolbar
- Sort the list at the bottom by status
- Select all the blogs with some sort of error or “Not Active“
- Right click and goto Reset Feed History
- This will force intraVnews to redownload the RSS from the selected items
The side effect is that you may end up with some duplicates in the blog's folder, but, it's better than manually resubscribing to each blog.
Last week, Greg Reinacker, the creator of Newsgator linked me to this post on his blog which details how to set ActiveSync up to download only messages in the blogs section of your PST. Very straightforward.
Now I can sit on the train in the morning, and read all the blogs I have setup in Outlook.
I have a Dell Axim which I use for my tasks, contacts calendar, and as an MP3 Player. I've read a bit about various RSS Aggregators for the PPC on this feed ad a few others.
What I need/want, though, is for the items I read on my PPC to be marked read in Outlook when I've read them on my PocketPC. I currently use Intravnews at home. I thought ActiveSync would let you sync an arbitrary folder in your PST, but, it appears to be solely the inbox, and I don't want to read email on the train in the morning.
Is there a solution available to do what I want, or am I out of luck for now?
