del.icio.us API is, indeed, in flux

I guess this has been happening for a couple of days now (maybe more?), but the API was slightly changed and functions like “posts/recent” are not returning what they should. The “extended” field of the responses just mimics the “description” field now.

This is why the listing of links in my homepage is kind of weird with the description exactly equal to the title. Still, it does show that they are working on the API which can only mean good things are coming! (We hope…) ;-)

[Update:] Things are really moving in there. The API is acting as it should again.

HHGTTG - now in realtime

Just found out last night that even those of us who are not in range of a BBC radio 4 transmitter can still listen to it live.

What that means is that we can listen to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy episodes in real time instead of having to wait until after the repetition on thursday for it to be available on the web.

All you have to do is go to “the page” and click on either the “listen live” link or the “Radio Player” button. It is broadcasting to the net 24x7!

So yes Melo, there is a point in having the original episodes airing dates on the ICS calendar —removed the old out-dated link— with a warning before.

I just knew it would come in handy! :-)
