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. :)
Hmm, there is this…maybe I’ll try it:
http://webdeveloperplus.com/wordpress/create-post-only-for-your-rss-subscribers-in-wordpress/
Hah, it worked! Except ‘rssonly’ still appears in the sidebar, but oh well, that turns it into an easter egg. :)
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!
Nah, I just noticed it in the logs and figured the person might not know. ;)
I’ll look into the full rss thing tonight.
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 :)
Hah, that’s an awesome idea! Oh for more free time…
Not it.
69.135.xxx.xxx
I check every 3 hours :)
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. ;)
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!
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. :)
