Urban Yukon BlogUrban Yukon news and announcements

If you’ve checked the UY site in the past couple of days, it will appear that some postings are stuck on the front page, even though they predate earlier posts from other blogs. In at least one case, it seems that the RSS feed is erroneously showing today’s date for all of its postings, and the Feed Informer service that provides the content of the front page is believing those dates (as it must).

Because the glitch seems to be originating from other blogs via Feed Informer, I don’t have a ready solution at the moment. Suggestions are welcome, although I’m down in sunny Toronto for the foreseeable future and not completely or reliably internet-connected. So, I’m hopeful that the problem will “just go away on its own” over the next couple of days.

Update Jan 28th

Looks like this may be solved. A slightly different URL for the problem blogs’ feeds seems to have done the trick.

Urban Yukon was trundling along fine this morning, but I couldn’t get to the site at about 10pm this evening. Turns out the database on the server went completely wackadoo and froze everything tight. I restarted it and everything is fine again. The server has been running straight for 476 days without a reboot, and this is only the second time that the database (MySQL, if you must know) has kerplonked in all that time.

If you do happen to see that Urban Yukon is down, please send a note to urbanyukon strudel yukondude fullstop com, or just call: I’m listed in both Yukon directories (i.e., the NorthwesTel one, and that other advertising one that seems to show up from time to time).
