Broken things

Outgoing email to Earthlink's server has been broken all day. At first I thought it might be me, since as happens occasionally my PPP node had no route to a frequently visited site, but when trying to mail I was getting an actual error message about the receiving domains not reverse-DNSing. I just tried it so I could copy the error verbatim, so of course it's now fixed. That's one way to do it.

Phil Ringnalda says he'd like to PHPify my blo.gs RSS pinger for Movable Type, but PapaScott says it's useless because blo.gs will remember your RSS URL if you ping with the same weblog URL. This item is partly to ping blo.gs normally again and see if it remembers where my RSS is.

Also, you might notice Chris Wenham of Disenchanted has a LiveJournal now, but you didn't hear it from me (which is plausible since it's linked all over the site).
