502

If you’re using Delicious and you’re seeing a lot of 502 errors… you’re not alone.

The good news is that they’re mostly benign. Just press refresh and it usually works just fine.

Since I never saw these errors before AVOS took over and because I see them on the website itself, I am pretty confident that it is not a problem in Yummy. If I find a way to avoid exposing these errors to you I will, of course, provide an update.

Delicious Maintenance Window

In case you missed it, Delicious have announced that:

We plan to take the system offline this Wednesday, 19 Oct, from 10 PM to 2 AM PST in order to update our data tier and make some improvements to our search infrastructure.

I am assuming that this means that the site and the API’s will be inaccessible for those four hours. Practically speaking, this means that you won’t be able to sync Yummy.

However, adding, editing and deleting of bookmarks in Yummy will continue to work and any changes you make should sync back to Delicious when they’re back online.

Yummy and iOS5

I’ve been running the iOS 5 beta’s since late July and have not seen any major problems in all that time, so I think you’re unlikely to have any problems. Of course, please let me know if you do see anything untoward.

Having said that, Yummy does not have any iOS 5 exclusive features. It still uses its inbuilt Twitter client rather than the one built into iOS; there’s no iCloud support or any of the other nice and shiny new stuff.

Yummy 2.6.3

I have just submitted release 2.6.3 of Yummy and Yummy Browser to Apple for review. It’s an urgent release for a very small number of users — and will make absolutely no difference to everyone else!

Those users are people who tried and partially succeeded in downloading their bookmarks after Delicious transferred ownership from Yahoo! to AVOS.

Update: 10 October In pretty much record time, both apps have been approved.

Even for those affected users, there is a work around:

  • Go to the settings app
  • Find Yummy
  • Switch “Refresh on Startup” to “No.”
  • Exit Settings and relaunch Yummy
  • Press “Logout.”
  • Log back in again.

Now available: Yummy and Yummy Browser 2.6.2

Both Yummy and Yummy Browser version 2.6.2 are now available for download on the App Store.

In some ways it’s significant not for what it adds but for what it removes. Since Delicious is no longer owned by Yahoo!, I have removed Yahoo! ID support and made some minor modifications so that it works correctly with the new, AVOS-owned Delicious.

One thing that I have noticed recently is a number of “502” errors. Just retrying seems to work most of the time. I’m pretty certain that this is a problem at the Delicious end, though I am continuing to investigate.

Yummy 2.6.2

I have just submitted a new version of Yummy to Apple. Although a comparatively small update it’s an important one:

  • Support for syncing with the New Delicious.com
  • Removal of the Yahoo! ID authentication method
  • Minor branding updates (now Wandle Software)
  • Other minor bug fixes

Apple say that they’re approving over 90% of updates within seven days, so… fingers crossed.
