Requiem in Pacem

"Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine"

In case you hadn't already heard, another chapter has come to a close for one of my very favorite bloggers. You can find all the details on this post, but the short version is that the originator of the upcoming BlogBlast for Peace, Mimi lost her father yesterday after a long and cruel illness. For Mimi and her family, I hope the peace she's tried to spread across the globe will visit her in a large measure in the coming days and weeks.

Until then, if you have -- or can make -- a moment, please stop by and pay your respects to the lady. She's earned it, and I know she could use the comfort right now. Thanks.

Auto-Schedule Update

---

It just occurred to me that if you're reading me in a reader you probably didn't get the update on the last post, so I'm replaying it here. Based on one test at 13:45 EDT, the problem appears to be resolved. I would still recommend keeping an eye on your scheduled posts however as there are several servers that the fix will have to be "pushed out" to. If you want to follow the thread in the Help Forum, you can find it at: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/blogger/thread?tid=17cf645ed2663a07&hl=en

Heads Up: Blogger Auto Publishing Down (Again)

---

If you rely on Blogger's Auto-Publish like I do, you may have to manually publish your posts until they fix this feature -- again. It's been reported on the Help forums (http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/blogger/thread?tid=17cf645ed2663a07&hl=en) if you want to monitor the thread. Apparently this time it surfaced after 6:00 AM EDT 10.27.09. And no comments from the WordPress Peanut Gallery please.

Scheduled Posting Out Again

---

A couple of months ago Blogger went through a couple of days where the auto-scheduling feature decided to throw a snit and nobody's scheduled posts were publishing on time. Looks like the problem has returned. But it's listed as a "Known Issue", and I'm really hoping they get it fixed soon. Meanwhile if you're a Blogger User that relies on scheduled posting (like me!) you'll want to keep an eye on your posts for a few days until they get this sorted out. The issue report says "Scheduled posting is unreliable for some users". Well guys, for this user, it's perfectly reliable... it just doesn't work at all.
Just thought you oughta know.
