When I screw up…

I really do it right.

No one knows this, but we recorded episode 101 on February 26th of the Bits of Silicon Hell podcast. I posted it the next day, but somehow it got marked as private. So, it looks like no one actually downloaded as far as I can tell. I noticed this because all of the podcasts sites were showing out latest show as 100 from February 17th. The post for 101 was showing to me because I was logged into WordPress.

The weird thing I usually catch it when a post gets marked as private because it doesn’t download in iTunes and get put on my iPod (I always listen to every show on the iPod just to verify all of the plumbing is working). However, even when I changed the post back to published iTunes didn’t download 101. It just downloaded 102, which I just posted tonight. How is that possible? iTunes can’t be logged into wordpress. Plus, the RSS feed is sanitized through feedburner even if iTunes could login to wordpress.

So, we recorded episode 101 but didn’t post it (essentially) and then due to real-life commitments didn’t do a show for two weeks. It’s a wonder anyone is still subscribed!
