But, but but… Both are up to “Crooked Timber’s Greatest Hits” on my browser, last comment finishing by “… most popular draws.” Outdated Ip info stored by the browser then? Tried delete cache, delete bloglines cookie, deep reload, no avail. Grmbl. Bed.

Shooting in the dark, and as we are deep in weirdness : would it be possible the old ip is stuck somewhere in the mt config file ? Some kind of “go update at this address” setting messing somehow with bloglines/carp? I’m pretty sure that it’s not anything like this. Compare the CaRP feed on my Arizona homepage (not updating) with the otherwise identical CaRP feed on my Blog Host homepage (working fine). One has updated and the other not. My kieranhealy.org is hosted by the same company that now hosts crookedtimber.org. It must be DNS, maybe with some PHP-related cache or other taking an appallingly long time to refresh.

… but it doesn’t make any sense. Yup. Beats me. Shooting in the dark, and as we are deep in weirdness : would it be possible the old ip is stuck somewhere in the mt config file ? Some kind of “go update at this address” setting messing somehow with bloglines/carp? … Got my geekish feathers all ruffled now. If this is just a dns propagation quirk i’m going to make all kinds of unpleasant noises.

Theory : bloglines registers the url.xml, then uses the ip adress for post retrieval. If so they’ll have to update on their side. I don’t know carp, maybe a similar glitch explains that case too. This is the only explanation I can think of but it doesn’t make any sense. Carp is a little php program and it’s not caching ip addresses anywhere I can see. And it would be just insane if bloglines used the IP address of sites—avoiding that is the whole point of DNS servers.

No. My CaRP aggregator on my homepage isn’t updating either, Relief. Theory : bloglines registers the url.xml, then uses the ip adress for post retrieval. If so they’ll have to update on their side. I don’t know carp, maybe a similar glitch explains that case too.

Sooooo, erm, i gather i’m alone having that problem that my bloglines aggregator doesn’t get new posts from ct, right? No. My CaRP aggregator on my homepage isn’t updating either, and I don’t know why—NetNewsWire has no trouble.

Well there, that’s what I said, those are the ones Google cached. Except for the Microsoft one, that wasn’t there, so it must have been some other magic. As for the entropy, that’s still there, somewhere between the incompleteness and the uncertainty. Not too far from Copenhagen.

Order is restored! But where has all the entropy gone?

Tried to re syndicate, but bloglines still believes that there are no new articles on ct. .. Thirty six goats, and the NewsFeed Sacred Dance should do the trick.

Any man who prays to the Empress of Emacs and the Sacred Heart of Search and Replace probably needs to spend a few hours banging away on such a problem every now and again, just as badly as he needs the smell of love in the morning. Well, maybe not just, but badly nonetheless.

By the way, Kieran – a few of the lost posts are still visible via Google’s cache, you know – so I assume you could copy and re-post them as if they were new ones?

“You neglect your wife and daughter – flesh and blood and the smell of love in the morning – for the sake of thousands of people around the world that you have never met.” Not all that weird. Not weird at all really. People do that any time they work on a book, for example, when they might possibly be interacting with a living human being instead. Interacting with living human beings is good but it’s not the only good. (Of course, fiddling with irritating techy stuff is a different sort of thing from writing a book…but then there’s irritating stuff connected with writing a book, too. Notes, index, bibliography, all that sort of thing. So the point remains.)

This is the Weird of the internet. You neglect your wife and daughter – flesh and blood and the smell of love in the morning – for the sake of thousands of people around the world that you have never met. Well.. Thank you.
