@cn @lioncourt @vasta Should be fixed now, although the update and the fix exposed a couple of other “issues”.

The release of gitsync 2.0 for Grav can't come soon enough for me.

Nice post, but alas, when I liked it on my stream all it picked up was your author name as Title and the automated summary. I know it is all about the plumbing, but this is one of my chief niggles about automated syndication (by me) -- that there is so much variability in what is sent and received that it kind of makes a mockery of the process.

So I'm doing the manual thing now, to make sure this finds its way back to you, in case the other one doesn't.

Gérard Rubaud has died. A great pioneer baker. Sad news.

The value of charts -- podcast or otherwise -- as a measure of worth, as opposed to merely popularity, is deeply suspect. In all kinds of rankings, people like what other people like, so popular stuff becomes more popular. Which is why I am highly ambivalent any time I so much as glance at podcast charts. Either people like what I'm doing, or they don't, but asking whether they like my output more or less than someone else's is pointless. Mostly.

An unrelated mystery: why would someone who has their own domain in their own name not want that domain to be more popular by, you know, publishing on it?

Thanks for the link; I would not have seen it otherwise. I hope you saw David Runciman's review of *Fear* in the LRB.

So hard to decide on someone for micro.monday -- so with no further justification, I suggest @grayareas

Anyone using micro.blog through Launch Center Pro? I can generate a post. Wondering how to just open the app, if possible.

I really need to automate my little script that fetches things I've saved to reading.am, because when I do it by hand it just shoves a giant indigestible bolus into the timeline. That might mean automating MAMP too.

Thanks Aaron for your mention of my wheat and bread podcasts. You raise an interesting question about aboriginal bread in Australia. I've listened to a podcast with Bruce Pascoe and read a general piece that was awfully muddled, but I have not read his book. I have no reason not to take his claims at face value, although I also think that the freight he is adding to those claims owes as much to the general status and recent past history of aboriginal people in Australia as it does to archaeology. I will certainly be including something in the book I am working on.
