I keep forgetting to post about this: we've been troubleshooting the "missing notifications" problem for the past few days. (Well, I say "we", really I mean Mark and Robby; I'm just the amanuensis.) It's been one of those annoying loops of "find a logical explanation for what could be causing the problem, fix that thing, observe that the problem gets better for some people but doesn't go away completely, go back to step one and start again", sigh.

Mark is hauling out the heavy debugging ordinance to try to find the root cause. Once he's done building all the extra logging tools he needs, he'll comment to this entry. After he does, if you find a comment that should have gone to your inbox and sent an email notification but didn't, leave him a link to the comment that should have sent the notification, as long as the comment itself was made after Mark says he's collecting them. (I'd wait and post this after he gets the debug code in but I need to go to sleep and he's not sure how long it will take!)

We're sorry about the hassle! Irregular/sporadic issues like this are really hard to troubleshoot because it's impossible to know if they're fixed or if they're just not happening while you're looking. With luck, this will give us enough information to figure out the root cause for real this time.

Health

Crossing fingers and toes that I keep out of early spring cold season. So far, so good. I haven’t taken off my winter gear yet even if it’s very tempting to do so. It’s still 3 C outside. The little voice inside my head is saying… above 0 C, the temperature is above 0 C. In French we say : En Avril ne te découvre pas d’un fil mais en mai…. Fais ce que tu veux.

Teaching stuff

The Book club conference went really well on Monday, the students were happy, the lecturer was great. Things came out nice. My content for next week is off to my beta reader. Only two weeks left. The next class is on reading challenges and I wrote about that last year on my blog. Half of the content is already done. I might decide to write it this week-end.

Reading

I am doing a read along on Discord in a French Book club Jeannot book club. We are reading Katabasis by R. F. Kuang. So far and I have only 6% read it’s okay.

I’m also half way through book 2 of Sara Lövestam series. Ça ne coüte rien de demander It’s quite good. Short chapters, ambiguous characters.

I got a bunch of new books this week. One of them is Geomagician by Jennifer Mandula. An Fantasy AU of Mary Anning’s life. I loved Tracy Chevalier’s Remarkable Creatures so when I read about Geomagician at Bookriot, I ordered it.

Watching

I’m slowly making my way through Pursuit of Jade 13/40 Zhang Ling He is quite a sight. I am looking forward to Rebirth coming next week with Li Yun Rui (Song Mo from Blossom) although I have not seen any of the Princess Agent previous dramas.

Hockey

My penguins came out of March alive. Thanks to Erik Karlsson, EK65 took the team on his back (both Sid and Geno were out multiple games) and took charge. I wasn’t surprise, he was the Senator’s captain after all. Now, Sid and Geno are both back and we are, crossing fingers, making the playoffs.

Crafting

My red fox is coming along the blue and black winter forest is almost done. Only the rest of the tail after that.
