I will shortly be mak­ing my glo­ri­a­tial and spec­tac­u­lary return to reg­u­lar sub­stan­tive blog­ging. I have much in the way of Yule­tide dra­mat­ics to relate. Top­ics will include: The Bhutto Assas­si­na­tion My Sister’s Grad­u­a­tion My Sister’s Job Inter­view Fam­i­lies & The Hol­i­days Gift-​​​​Giving I will also be clean­ing up all these half-​​​​finished movie reviews.

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 [ . . . ]
