Motivation Stall

So we're sitting on at least three different items today, two or more from this morning's City Council session, and a brief catch-up on tram-related activities, but there is something about launching into this stretch of too-warm (for us) weather that is bogging us down.

Plus we're somewhat fixated on trying to push some people to have an all-day backyard margarita siesta this weekend.

At any rate, some of what we need to get posted today is dependent upon some additional background reading before we can write anything, and some of that material we haven't yet gotten from whoever might actually have it. We're willing to bet that the batch of material we have in the pipeline is sidelined at least until we adjust to it suddenly being 85 degrees outside.

    Since this is a meta post, I thought I might post a quick meta question that is off-topic. Do you still have an RSS or ATOM feed?

    Yes. To wit:

    index.rdf
    index.xml
    atom.xml

    But I keep forgetting to put them back in the sidebar somewhere because most aggregators (I believe) can do autodiscovery and I have the relevant meta tags for autodiscovery to work.

    So my new house has a backyard. In case you were wondering.

    This is true. But we can't smoke in it.

    Some folks (like me) are using your feed in ways other than in personal aggregators, though, and I'm sure you'd like to stop fielding this question at some point. :) Actually, I'm not able to use your feed at all but have since discovered that it's my overexcitable XML parser objecting to something about the way MT 3.0 outputs its feeds and not your feed in particular.

  6. The One True b!X on 17 Jun 2004

    I'm not convinced that's an MT issue but rather a Web server issue or some sort perhaps. I've noticed, for example, that while my .rdf feed is precisely the same syntactically as, say, World Wide Pablo's, mine will render in my browser if I click on it while WWP's will download.

    But there's nothing in the files themselves to suggest this should happen, so it's something about how my Web server versus Typepad's server is pushing those files out, not something about MT.

    I wouldn't think that'd be difficult...
