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.

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

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