Google Reader – down?
Since today morning 1:45 AM Google Reader doesn’t view any new RSS Posts. Why doesn’t it? Do you have the same issue? No one wrote a post today. This is realy strange. Tell me what’s about your Google reader.
Update: At 3:00 PM Google Reader has updated the RSS-Feed of my Blog. But no other feeds.
Update2: It seems that Google Reader updates each RSS-Feed which I’ve in my list.
Spool.fm – Internet Music Player
Spool is an online music player which allows you to make playlists and share music with friends. You can listen to music of your friends in realtime. You can select diffrent songs of the Spool library and add it to your own playlist via drag and drop. To save your created playlists you have to create an account and login.� If you want to know more about spool and you would know how it works, look at this video. If you don’t like to watch the movie you can read more in Spool’s FAQ.
I think it’s a very good service because I can listen to my music on each computer with internet access and speakers. That’s nice for office work.
Relay – Ajax Directory Manager
Oliver Raduner has written a post about Ajax Frameworks. He wrote a link to MiniAjax.com. There I’ve found a nice tool called Relay.
It’s a Ajax based directory manager for webservers. I searched a very long time for a tool like this. So I’ve installed it on my Hostpoint webserver and it’s fantastic.
During the installation I had some problems, but these problems are very simple to fix. Folow these steps and you can run Relay on your webserver!
- Download Relay here
- Extract the relay folder to the desired directory on your webserver
- Add
ini_set('allow_url_fopen', 'on');after the first php opening tag ininstall/index.phpandindex.phpin your Relay root - chmod 755 upload.pl in your Relay root
- Browse to that directory from your favorite web-browser
- Follow the on-screen instructions
Requirements for Relay at minimum:
- PHP version 4+
- MySQL version 4+
- Perl 5.8.0 (for upload progress)
- Apache/IIS
If you want to test Relay, visit the demopage.
