Comment on Procrastination by Kerul

I can identify with your situation. I’m a (doctoral) student, and there are many procrastination temptations.

But just as you suggest, not all procrastination is created equal.

It can sometimes be good to procrastinate - it can lead to less struggle, delay (counter-intuitive, but true), and more optimal functioning.

There’s a new book out titled Productive Procrastination, and it describes how to do it, how to tell productive from destructive procrastination, and how to end the destruction kind. It’s available on Amazon.com. Learn more about the book at http://www.Procrastivity.com

I’m thinking cherry grenadine, mango or pineapple rum, sprite, and a touch of lemonade/lemon.

Well, if people are expecting an Atom feed they should get one in the same format. I hadn’t really investigated whether Wordpress had an Atom feed, and kind of hoped most readers would take the difference in stride, but your solution is definitely an improvement.

Thanks for your help.

That fixed it.

I think the issue must be with my reader. It doesn’t exactly have a whopping market share, but I guess other people on other platforms might have the same issue. I’ll have to check to see if there is a bug report for my reader on file.

I guess I should have used curl first, before jumping to the conclusion that you had done nothing regarding redirects.

I’m getting:

The issue might be that you are directing a atom feed to a RSS feed, and my aggrator does not like that. Your redirect does seem to be working. My code should redirect to WordPress’ default Atom feed.

(just in case you don’t know already…)
in your .htaccess add the line:

Redirect 307 /atom.xml http://philwelch.net/wp-atom.php

When you get settled, perhaps consider changing the 307 to a 301.

I think I did that in .htaccess. It works for me at least.

I was pulling your old feed from http://philwelch.net/atom.xml

When you get settled down, you might want to do a redirect to your new feed.

Comment on So I tried TaB… by Standard Mischief

So do you remember back when Diet Coke had saccharin in it too? Trust me, they both tasted like ass. I like this guy’s take on it: (somewhat dated, 14-Oct-1983)

…By June of 1983, Coke honchos were crowing that Diet Coke had surpassed Tab to become the nation’s top-selling diet soft drink–which means, if you think about it, that Coca-Cola spent 50 million bucks to shoot its own foot off…

uetlez!
