The caching that I recently enabled seems to have caused trouble with my
RSS feed. I think the cause was this: Historically, I've hosted my
website at two URLs: emergent.unpy.net and emergent.unpythonic.net.
When fetching the feed, all the URLs would be relative to that host.
So occasionally, when the feed was judged to be out-of-date by the
cache, it woulde be regenerated using the other hostname, making all
the items look new to common RSS readers like Google Reader.
So from now on, the canonical hostname for my blog is http://emergent.unpythonic.net, and emergent.unpy.net will just be a redirect
in order to get the canonical hostname.
One more flip-flop may be coming up for my intrepid readers, but after
that hopefully things settle down.
