Activity dropped off by about forty percent for Ithaka over the last few days and I didn't make anything of it beyond, well, I guess you better write better stuff. Just now I discovered TwitterFeed has expired, presumably in its sleep, and that's the software which took each posting to Ithaka to send a notification to Twitter and consequently to Points Beyond.
That solemn and oh so deeply saddening expiration took place after October 31 so that accounts for a few days of drop off.
I've now switched to Dlvr.It which has a free level of service and one or more paid levels. If I pay then Dlvr.It will poll Ithaka faster than once every thirty minutes but that's fast enough. This isn't exactly open-heart surgery so it can wait some fraction of thirty minutes.
This would be a colossal Macht Nichts to most, probably all, except activating Dlvr.It meant it posted the last ten titles from Ithaka on Twitter so that put Ithaka on rapid-fire which I'm sure was endearing. This is as close as we will get to an apology for that.
Ed: you call that an apology?
Nope. The software does what it does. Poof. It did it. Weep, weep, weep.
There's also a curiosity for how long a Sample Random Post actually takes to make it to Twitter but that's just snarkling sillywumps because it's random and the timing won't mean anything ... but many times the best things don't.
Ed: oh frabjous fuckin' day.
You read it too! Oh, how boundletastic and scroodly.
Ed: oh fuck
It gets better as perhaps it's time to watch "Through the Looking Glass" to see how they resolve finding the Jabberwock is already dead from the first movie.
Alice asked, "How can I kill the Jabberwock when now it's already dead?"
The Cheshire Cat replied, "It's like trying to recall what you've already said."
Alice looked forlorn and said, "Oh sorrow, I don't need a clever cat when I need a non-deceased Jabberwock so I can kill it and be the Champion for the White Queen."
The Cheshire Cat laughed and said, "You don't have to kill it, don't think like a squid. You march right to her, and tell her you did."
Alice cried out, "But I didn't!"
The Cheshire Cat replied, "Oh but you did. The Jabberwock is dead."
Ed: how long does this continue?
Sometimes it goes all night or until someone calls the fire department.
Ed: oh frabjous fuckin' night.
