Scary Bloglines thingy

Posted in All on October 17th, 2005 · 4 Comments

The scariest thing just happened now with me and BlogLines. I was scrolling through my feeds, reading occasional items. And there was one feed that I wanted to unsubscribe. I never ever tested the unsubscribe from feed functionality from my phone before, so I was somewhat worried. But I click it anyway. And it says OK. And done.

I wanted to go read the rest of the items, but it looked like there were no feeds. It got me worried even more. I quickly went to my blogroll page to see if any feeds are there, but it was empty. Nothing. Not even one.

By this time I was practically freaking out. So I jumped to my computer and used the normal browser to navigate to BlogLines. I was hoping to see the plumber, but BlogLines seemed just fine.

I clicked to open my feeds and the folder was empty. I started to feel the pain of a heart attack. Decided to re-subscribe to a few feeds that I could at least remember. And, oh thanks to all the superpowers, I see this error message:

There is a problem with the database.

And before I finished writing this post all my feeds were back. And before finishing this post, I did the backup of all my public feeds into OPML file.

    And you thought that the car incident with the old guy was scary. :-)

    Screw the old guy - noone probably loves him anyway. My Bloglines feed collection is priceless. ;)

    don’t believe that!

    Sergey,

    believe it or not… That’s why I said that my Bloglines feed collection is priceless. ;)
