Permanent links make a return

Permanent links to Xanga and MySpace entries at Planet Xavier were horked last night, due to a glitch with the XML parser. I’m currently working around the problem with a little hack of a solution, but I hope to get to the root cause of the problem sometime Tuesday.

Lucky for all of you, it’s once again possible to visit the Xangas again. If only I could figure out what’s going on with the timestamps – the dates and times are going bizerk!

Never mind…

Never mind about that… all the Xangas are back up again, thanks to a little typo I made.

Testing…

Yes, all the old posts are up, and as usual, it’s limited to Xangas. Ironically, it’s because I’m testing some code that’ll let Planet understand the (incorrectly-formatted) dates that Xanga feeds include. It failed miserably, of course, but I think I know what’s going on, and I just thought of a novel way of preventing this Xanga spam from ever occurring again: backing up the cache!
