been noticing some weirdness with my &#8216;Eclinkticism&#8217; sidebar, and it appears that the HTML service provided by <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/\" title=\"del.icio.us\">del.icio.us<\/a> at <code>del.icio.us\/html\/username<\/code> may be having some issues. Anyone out there seeing this too? (Details under the cut&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I toss things into <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/djwudi\" title=\"del.icio.us\/djwudi\">my del.icio.us account<\/a> pretty frequently. To create the &#8216;eclinkticism&#8217; sidebar, I have a custom script set up that pulls the most recent additions via the <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/help\/html\" title=\"del.icio.us\/help\/html\">HTML feeds<\/a> option once an hour and writes that to a text file, which is then inserted into the HTML on every page load as an SSI include.<\/p>\n<p>The shell script I&#8217;m using to call the HTML feed is as follows (though &#8216;cu rl&#8217; in line 5 should be a single word rather than &#8216;cu rl&#8217;, it was triggering a 403 Forbidden error preventing the post before I split it up&#8230;and it still is&#8230;can I not type &#8216;cu rl&#8217; as a single word?&#8217;):<\/p>\n<pre><code>#!\/bin\/bash\ntmpfile=\"\/home\/-username-\/delicious.tmp\"\nincfile=\"\/home\/-username-\/public_html\/delicious.inc\"\nURL=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/html\/djwudi\"\n\ncu rl -s -f -d rssbutton=no -d tags=no -d extended=body $URL -o $tmpfile\n\nif [ -s $tmpfile ]; then\n    mv -f $tmpfile $incfile\n    echo \"del.icio.us linklog sucessfully updated!\"\n    exit 0\nfi\n\necho \"something went all fubar like\"\nexit 1\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Until recently, all was working fine. However, over the past few days, my sidebar hasn&#8217;t seemed to be updating correctly. Most of the time, the most recent link displayed is <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/url\/2bb163b5e5a45210913e92de494220cc\" title=\"del.icio.us\/url\/ 'First Pic of Wii Debug Unit?'\">&#8216;First Pic of Wii Debug Unit?&#8217;<\/a>, which I saved over a week ago, on June 7th. Occasionally, the sidebar will display <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/url\/03765e049506285d85e07c71cbd1fbf9\" title=\"del.icio.us\/url\/ 'Quinn (Tetris for Mac OS X)'\">&#8216;Quinn (Tetris for Mac OS X)&#8217;<\/a>, from just a few days ago on June 12th, but then it will revert to the June 7th link.<\/p>\n<p>At first I thought it was something on my end, but after checking my script, the <code>cron<\/code> job, and watching the generated include file to verify that it was being rebuilt each hour, I couldn&#8217;t find anything wrong. So, I started plugging HTML feed URLs into del.icio.us by hand.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/djwudi\" title=\"del.icio.us\/djwudi\"><code>del.icio.us\/djwudi<\/code><\/a>: Displays all my links, up to the most current links, as expected.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/html\/djwudi\" title=\"Default HTML feed\"><code>del.icio.us\/html\/djwudi<\/code><\/a>: Alternates between displaying the two above-described options (stopping at either &#8216;First pic&#8230;&#8217; or &#8216;Quinn&#8230;&#8217;). At first ends with &#8216;First pic&#8230;&#8217;, reloading produces &#8216;Quinn&#8230;&#8217;, reloading more times sometimes switches which result is returned, other times the same result is returned again.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Adding arguments to the request URL (<a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/html\/djwudi?rssbutton=no\" title=\"HTML feed, no RSS button\"><code>del.icio.us\/html\/djwudi?rssbutton=no<\/code><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/html\/djwudi?tags=no\" title=\"HTML feed, no tags\"><code>del.icio.us\/html\/djwudi?tags=no<\/code><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/html\/djwudi?extended=body\" title=\"HTML feed, extended entry in body div\"><code>del.icio.us\/html\/djwudi?extended=body<\/code><\/a> or combinations thereof) alter the output as expected, but still persist in alternating between stopping at either &#8216;First pic&#8230;&#8217; or &#8216;Quinn&#8230;&#8217;.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Is anyone else seeing these same issues? Might anyone know whether it is del.icio.us as it appears, or whether it&#8217;s an issue with my script that I&#8217;ve missed, or possibly something in between (a server cache somewhere between my webserver and del.icio.us)?<\/p>\n<p>I suppose I <em>could<\/em> switch over to the <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/help\/linkrolls\" title=\"del.icio.us\/help\/linkrolls\">Javascript feed option<\/a>&#8230;but I <em>like<\/em> the fact that I was able to figure out and implement the HTML feed (mostly) on my own (with some small tweaks thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2005\/01\/moving_to_delic.html#comment-6889\" title=\"John: I would propose the following changes...\">John Hoke<\/a>), I like the way it works (when it works), and I&#8217;m just stubborn enough that I&#8217;d prefer not to move to something else if I don&#8217;t have to.<\/p>\n<p><ins>Update:<\/ins> I tried the Javascript feed, and not only would it take some CSS tweaking to get it to format right, but it <em>still<\/em> wasn&#8217;t grabbing the latest links.
