Removed multiple posts from category, fixed contact form

Alex — Fri, 04 May 2012 02:15:23 +0000

I was (am?) having an issue with my RSS Syndication plugin (FeedWordPress) where it put my posts into two categories even though I explicitly told it to only put them in one. An hour and one hairy SQL query later, it appears to be fixed!*

Also, it seems like GMail was upset that I hadn’t logged in via the web interface in a while, so it stopped sending my contact form emails over SMTP. So I logged in and fixed that. Yay! You can contact me again now!

*: Although, my feed reader (Pulse) seems to have stopped publishing the RSS feed of the posts that I “star”, so there’s no new posts until I find a hackaround. And wouldn’t you know it, the “previous post” link at the bottom of the page is acting strange. Oh well, you’ll just have to deal with it for now.
