way to cut it, cowboy's dad!

The Feed Me Show congratulates Michael J. Cirino on his excellent NYT article. In case you don't know, Michael's the guy who casually makes his own donner kebab, on the same slow turning skewer, aka the Meaty Susan, used in kebab shops everywhere, and makes it baste itself in duck fat for relaxing Sunday funsies. We know him cause his dog Cowboy knows our dog September. Not, that is, in the biblical sense. C'mon, they're both neutered.

And yes, that is my ex also interviewed in the article, and, yes, she deserves the attention, cause she's one fabulous cook.

mail uploads and invites still broken

No DNS solution possible, according to the great people at dyndns, who have for years delivered the best tech support of any organization I've dealt with, but Rauch helped me work out a Postfix hack that might do the job.

photo upload bug

Email photo uploads are currently broken. Why? Read on.

The Feed Me Show runs on a distributed network, with services sourced here and there across the Internet -- it's kind of a web salad. Erm, make that a slaw. With napa cabbage and fennel seeds. Anyway.

Our mail exchanger and the mail system that issues photo-posting aliases don't yet talk to each other. Some rejiggering is needed to let them cooperate -- I think listing the Ning mail exchanger as an tertiary MX on the domain oughta do it.

Thanks to amazing editor, and mother of Gus the Superbaby, Emily Krill for spotting the bug.

feedmeshow.com is back!

After a lot of ranting and raving, many cocktail napkins consumed in planning, repetitive-motion syndrome incurred in researching, several serendipitous discoveries, one or two software flameouts, a tablespoon of begging, two teaspoons of pleading, a handful of luck, and a lot of loyalty from our amazing members, the new feedmeshow.com is online! Come on by and fill out a profile!

ning-ing

There's no way the new website would be possible without Spence "The Evil Genius" and his crew at The Widget Laboratory. Their Ning add-ons "SuperTabs" and "MediaNow!" let us take the CMS functionality of the old site, and lay it atop Ning's well-thought-out social networking platform like a crispy skate wing atop a pile of mashed sweet potatoes.
