The Crooked and the Straight

I took a look at my server access logs for the first time in ages today, and as a result I've patched up a few minor weblog-related things...

I noticed that there are still a bunch of people whose aggregators point to feeds from my old weblog that no longer exist. Those requests should now get properly redirected (via a 302) to the correct feed. I apologize for leaving that problem uncorrected for so long.

Also, there are a handful of entries from my old weblog that seem to be still fairly popular (based on the number of requests for them that go 404). I've re-instated six of the most requested entries. Here's a list, in chronological order:

• XrpGen and a little luck (February 23, 2003)
• RDP, Console Sessions, Windows 2003 Server, And You (May 20, 2003)
• How I got here (June 12, 2003)
• Everybody here works on Word (October 01, 2003)
• The anatomy of a bug (October 25, 2003)
• When "good enough" isn't (November 02, 2003)

Any incoming requests for these entries at the old URLs will also get the 302 treatment; the links above are the current ones.

And just out of curiosity, does anyone other than me use the Crooked Links sidebar? I put it there basically so I could have a searchable history of my bookmarks (and don't bother telling me about del.icio.us; I am not enamored with that service). If you like it, hate it, or ignore it completely, I'd like to know.
