    Help! I’m going hungry. I haven’t heard you guys since “Louie, Louie.” I use Android’s Doggcatcher, and starting with the next episode, I got a feed error rather than your podcast. I tried deleting your feed and then adding it, but it didn’t appear in Doggcatcher’s lists. Search brought no joy. Adding it manually, trying both the https://www.technobuffet.com/podcasts/feed/ and the https://www.technobuffet.com/podcasts/oggcast/ feed failed. Doggcatcher complained about about an invalid feed – an expired certificate. Other feeds work fine. No joy with searches for problems on the Doggcatcher side. Any ideas?

        Thanks — I tried the oggcast address and it worked on the first try. I’m not sure why my podcatcher started failing, but it works now.

    Correct, if a room doesn’t have a bath or no one bathes in it, then it shouldn’t be called a bathroom. Technically it’s a lavatory.
