    BOFH RSS the hard way

    The BOFH doesn't have his own feed per se but Simon Travaglia does -- and all he's done since I subscribed is BOFH. Here's the URL.

    BOFH not available in feeds

    Thanks for your interest in the Bastard Operator from Hell. Simon Travaglia, the author of BOFH, has asked us to remove links to his articles from our RSS feeds. We will not restore the BOFH RSS feeds without his permission.

    Who can't count?

    They are still there if you know the URLs

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/04/20/bofh_episode_13/

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/06/01/bofh_episode_19/

    I wanted to link to episode 13 recently for a geeky friend and so I had to go searching for it ... but it's linked from Simon's RSS feed ...

    Re: Episodes 13 and 19

    For some reason, random past episodes get pushed back under the "Ealier Stories..." link at the bottom of the page. There's 1, 13, and 19 there. Dunno why it's happening, but it does.
