Someone commented on my entry in “Be interviewed on NPR” (which I’d marked completed). I tried to reply - twice - and both times received a “permission denied” message. My attempted comments show up as deleted comments now.

A moment ago I clicked on the Zeitgeist link and discovered an entry made “in the future”. Now, time travel would be a very cool feature to have for real, but in this case I suspect it’s a minor bug.

In moggy’s entry “Take my Fianc[acute-e]e to see polar bears” at /view/1346, the acute-accented e is not being properly rendered.

I’m not sure it will solve this particular problem, but in the past I’ve worked around similar glitches by explicitly specifying UTF-8 character encoding in the HTTP Content-Type header.

Saw somebody else’s goal and clicked “I’ve done this”. Later went to make an entry. No problem. But I don’t have a link to “write an[other] entry about this”. My only options are to edit my existing entry or to reply to that entry.

Maybe this is by design, so that posts from people who have already done goals don’t overwhelm posts from those who want to do them. But this does make it a bit harder for people who have previously accomplished a goal to convey some of what they learned in the process.

Entries I made on Dec 15 are labelled “yesterday” even though it’s now the 17th.

I find the categorized lists of goals to be really interesting, but it’s difficult for me to go through and categorize my own goals. It took me a while to figure out where the categorization feature lived, and even once I knew, it was hard to tell which ones on my Things list are and aren’t categorized.

Part of a bigger decision to make about disambiguation, but arguably goals like “Do X” and “do x” that differ only in capitalization should be considered identical. (I know this gets hard if you start worrying about internationalization, etc.)

Search appears to search user names, but not individual first and last names.
