Atom complaints

So Russell complains thus "James Purser said I'm betting that your feed is an atom feed. We had the same problem on PLOA with Jeff and Pias feeds when they switched to atom. Planet needs to be upgraded. Well I am using an atom feed, so this probably explains it. Sorry for the inconvenience to the Planet Debian readers, I guess that things will stay the way they are until it is upgraded."

Now Russell, I do't want to have too much of a go, but when Jeff and Pia's problem arose, I upgraded p.l.o.a within about a week. Upstream only had proper support for Atom for about a month earlier that that anyway.

Anyone running an aggregator (p.l.o.a, Planet Debian, etc) is likely to have other interestes too - it's unlikely to be the main gig for anyone. It's just a service that is (normally) happily provided. So if you change to a new, (currently) less supported syndication format, you may find it takes a while for all the aggregation software installs to catch up. Afterall, this is a volunteer-run service - we could have dropped your feed until we had upgraded instead, y'know :-)

A new career? Not likely.

Last night I took Lavazza's Professional Barista course, and as a consequence I now can make Ristretto, Espresso, Dopio, Latte, Cappucino, Avogatto and other delicious coffee combinations. The only problem is that I consumed far too much caffeine - meaning zero sleep last night ;-(

No, this isn't a change of career - it's just another step fulfilling Michael's First Law:

"The day you stop learning, is the day you start dying."
