the solution for borked posting

Bah: ”

So I had this cool entry commenting on the recent Apple using Intel fervor and something borked when I posted and it’s all gone.

(Via Random Access 3.0.)

You can get it together with NetNewsWire for $40.

BTW Tom’s non-borked post is here and it’s worth reading.

    The sad part, is that is what I use. But I was getting a weird XML RPC error and I cut instead of copied into the MT user interface and by accident (aka clicking w/o reading) when it said ‘don’t save/cancel/save as draft’ the ‘save as draft’ is default when you hit enter quickly, like when you’re irritated at a weird safari error.

    No, the sadder sad part is: right after I posted that, I tried to use Marsedit to trackback to your post and I got an XML-RPC error. Looks like MarsEdit is borked. lol

    Ok, I filed a bug with Ranchero software. I’m going to do some more testing to see if I can finger WordPress or Marsedit as the culprit. Given the track record WordPress has had since the 1.5 release, I’m starting to lean towards WordPress being the problem.

    “If I add a trackback to an existing post, the XML-RPC call fails and the post is not sent to WordPress.

    repro steps:
    1) select a post and bring it up for editing in MarsEdit
    2) Add a trackback URL to the trackbacks list
    3) Click “send to weblog”
    4) The step should fail informing you that the XML-RPC parsing failed.

    Marsedit version: 1.0
    Blog software: WordPress 1.5.1.1
    OS: Mac OS X 10.4 “Tiger”

    Debug listing:

    Notes: A side effect of this bug is that the post you are trying to edit is marked as “draft” when all is said and done regardless of it’s starting status.

    PS I’m a Seattle resident so if you need any more information or want to see the bug in action, drop me a line. I’m going to do some more testing and see if I can rule out either WordPress or Marsedit as the cause of this bug.”

    update: I tried my repro steps in Ecto with the same results. It looks like it’s a WordPress bug (sigh). I think WordPress may be suffering from the “too many cooks” syndrome.

  • Scott

    update to the update:
    mosquito.wordpress.org show the bug as bug #829

    http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/829

    but it’s marked as closed in their bug tracker. I looked at the attached patch, i’m running it and it’s still occuring. I don’t have any way to re-open the bug.
