The Duke River of News is up and flowing.

Going on the assumption that the podcasts section of the opml file has a bad feed. So I rebuilt the river files and while I was at it separated my personal reading list to its own river and moved it and the Duke river to Opalstack.

But I am having problems with the Duke river, and the app even disappeared from the server. Not sure what happened.

Still digging into the Duke River of News downtime. I now think that the the opml file has a bad rss feed.

• I determined that the myReadingList opml file loaded fine. So, I've since split that off to my own river.
• I will have to rebuild the allDukeFeeds file.
• I may move the River5 install for the Duke River over my my personal web host.

Yesterday I noticed the Duke River of News was down, maybe because of a Digital Ocean issue. I was able to get River5 started again with Forever, and the river was up all day. Today, though, down again. But I've gotten adept at using the terminal to restart the software, and I'm reading the river again.

Well, shoot, that didn't last long. Something is not right in the river.

Coffee break

Malia texted the family to ask if anyone wanted to go for coffee, and since it was 4 o'clock and I had been going nonstop for days, I jumped out of my chair and into the car. We drove south to Pittsboro to Aromatic Roasters, which we discovered last week on our way through Pittsboro. It was a nice hour with my daughter, small talk and Taylor Swift on Spotify, checking my phone for the latest alert about the sever weather that is sweeping across North Carolina.

A test

I'm not sure the live-blogging feature of 1999 is working for me. This is a test.
