Error reporting
CodeIgniter, the framework that bkkeepr is built on automatically reports errors. So when LibraryThing went down for maintenance this morning, all the books pages borked. All that was required to fix this was to catch the SimpleXML parsing error being thrown - and then turn off CodeIgniter’s error reporting (called in the first line of the root index.php file). But it took me a while to figure out that the alerts didn’t mean I’d done anything wrong - it was all LT’s fault.
(But we still love you LT!)
