Continuum Conundrums

I have no idea what's happening over at Blog City, but their RSS feeds are doing the loopiest things. Every hour I get a Cron Daemon report telling me that one or another of the Blog City feeds has failed. Indeed, the Daemon has become my hourly correspondent, but there's no rhyme or reason to which one fails, and they all check out if you test them manually. Prof. Yin and the Punishment Theory Blog, on my sidebar, both have hiccuping feeds.

(Meanwhile, both Dr. Solum and the Volokh's feeds in the right bar are out of date--but that I can't blame on Blog City.)

But worse, for reasons completely inexplicable to me, Serious Law Student's RSS feed now claims to be written by "Jason Bell - Java Development." Now, while SLS blogs anonymously, I know for a fact that her name isn't Jason Bell, and if she's a Java developer, she's kept the fact well-hidden from me. No, I think it's safe to say this is a mistake, and one made on the back end as Blog City goes through upgrade woes. But since most blog-owners don't check their own feeds regularly, this is the kind of mistake that owners are unlikely to catch, and quite unfortunate.

What's going on over there?

Comments

It's definitely going screwy, supposedly some problem due to a cacheing error that either crashes the server or leads to sssslllllooowwww load times. I'm getting close to switching to TypePad . . . .
