Further Hinkiness

Net­flix has gone and done some­thing wonky that messed up the Net­flix wid­get and broke the site for a while. Lovely if(isset($var)) state­ments have fixed the prob­lem, but the queue still doesn’t show. At least, not from where I’m sit­ting. It might be a mag­pie issue. Your cache may vary. Either Net­flix changed the for­mat of the RSS feed with my queue in it, thereby mess­ing up the reg­u­lar expres­sions the Net­flix wid­get uses to extract per­ti­nent movie data from the feed, result­ing in a null set of results, and which will require actual work on my part to fix, or my cache sim­ply con­tains an anom­alous empty copy of the feed, again result­ing in a null set of results, but which will resolve itself in due time. Either way, fail­ure of the wid­get to set the nec­es­sary vari­ables will no longer break the entire site like it did before.

Update: Every­thing is back to nor­mal now. Please let me know if any­one sees any fur­ther mis­be­hav­ior of the Net­flix widget.
