The Lair

It appears that gremlins have once again taken over the blog. Since I couldn’t figure out a prosaic explanation for why some people get linky problems I decided to go on an upgrading spree instead.

If a problem doesn’t have an immediately apparent answer, it is always best to complicate things with new versions of software. That way, more things can go wrong and you can immediately blame the upgraded plugins for all your woes. That’s a win-win situation all round.

Weirdly, I have not been able to duplicate this linky problem. Based on what I hear, it sounds like either a rendering or rewriting problem. How much dodgy JavaScript is running on this site? Well, other than the technorati embed, not much. No external stats trackers here either. And Tz tells me it appears to be a Firefox specific problem too.

Some days, you’re the bug. Other days, you’re the windscreen. Please feel free to scream loudly if more things break so that I can commiserate with you and blame the bad bad plugins and Wordpress. Thanks.

Update: Oh and by the way, the snippets RSS feed now works in Google Reader. Just a problem with a missing header, which has been sorted out.
