Yeah, so am I. The recent changes from del.icio.us to delicious.com seem to have caused some issues with the daily link post functionality… which in the grand tradition of Web2.0 has been tagged as “experimental”* since long before I started using it, making it a convenient fall-back for staff on the support forums.

That said, they’re currently dealing with a blizzard of people to whom change is anathema, and for whom the thought of (gasp!) adjusting to the new UI over the course of a few days is simply intolerable, so I can understand them prioritising…

Anyway, suffice to say I’m doing all I can to get the link-dumps working again, and I expect I’m even more keen to see them return than any of you are.

[ * - A Beta by any other name would surely crash as much... ]

Just a quick note to the people who visit here primarily for the daily link action (which is most of you, as far as I can tell) - I’d like to apologise for the absence of a link-dump for Thursday 12th October. I went and checked my del.icio.us account, and according to the logs their server couldn’t raise the VCTB server at the relevent time. Since the system only makes one attempt, that means no dump, so sorry for that - hopefully all should be well in future. Bear in mind you can always click through to my del.icio.us account from the little link in the sidebar, and that you can subscribe to it as an RSS feed in its own right …

… b*gger, there goes two-thirds of my subscription base!
