— by Lin McNulty, Managing Editor —
If you are a paying subscriber, you know that you can count on your Orcas Issues Daily Digest to arrive every day around 5 p.m. It’s been that way for years. Until now…
Lately, that hasn’t been so dependable for some unknown reason. Well, at least unknown to me and the many help-line techies I have spoken to or chatted with in the last couple of weeks.
In addition to losing our former publisher, Margie Doyle (who is doing better, by the way, as she continues her recovery), we have also lost our web guru.
I can do a lot of what Margie used to do, and I can do a bit of what our webmaster did, but there are some limits and it seems I have found one of those limits in trying to resolve this newsletter debacle. So, if the terms RSS and CDN mean anything to you, if you are a code wonk really into importers and aggregators, and are willing to share some knowledge, email me directly at editor@orcaissues.com.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding as I look to one of our readers who might hold the secret code. Sigh…

Just received the newsletter. Seems like the problem has been solved! Thanks.
Lyn,
I don’t know what RSS and CDN mean but I may know some folks who do. I’ll reach out. I feel that Orcas Issues is a real asset to the OI community and want to see it continue providing us with pertinent and welcome information. Hang in there!
Dennis, thank you for not noticing that the newsletter is still 24 hours behind the times.
Tim, bring ’em on!
So happy to see, as an arm of this excellent media source, reaching out for help when you need it Lin. No doubt this is a community that has the talent, expertise, and willingness to contribute when the need arises. As such I feel that you’re sure to find the help that you need. I miss you (Margie) too… and am awaiting your return with great anticipation (huge smile).
Not too difficult to log onto the site and read it a few times a day as I usually do. Keep up the fine work!
Any reason my positive post complimenting you was taken down? Seems silly…
Lin, has the billing entity name changed on credit card bills? I just got one I didn’t recognize. Also, how’s Margie?
