An explanation of what this blog is

Throughout my time as a developer I've relied heavilly on Google when it comes to forensic development - that is, development where one is trying to decode arcane, non-obvious and hair-tearingly frustrating errors in third party APIs.

Frequently, however, Google points to mailing list archives which are not sorted by thread; making them frustrating to use. Also, depending on the newness of the API, Google sometimes provides no responses whatsoever.

So, in the hopes that future googlers may find something of interest here, I present bugs that I find during my development travails. I'm an SCJD, but am by no means a brilliantly competent programmer. I present all of these bugs and (potential) workarounds in the hope they'll be useful rather than out of any belief that they are the correct way to go about things.
