Sorry this post became victim to the “Missed Schedule” issue (I finally found out there is a ridiculous limit of 100 scheduled posts over which scheduling becomes unreliable; this limit used to be much much larger in the past).
[WayBack] Warning: Please do not schedule more than 100 posts. Any posts scheduled beyond that amount will not be published.

A kind of repeat of a 6 year old post, as by now this has much more information: [WayBack] hardware rec – When to stop using a hard drive? What rules/software apply? – Super User.
It is a continuation for another drive of my 2011 post hard drive – When to stop using a HDD? What rules/software apply?.
Basically I was unlucky receiving a brand new drive that appeared exceptionally slow and doing some ticking.
So I ran these on it:

Sorry for the “missed schedule”, but WordPress.com is acting up again:
Since I ran this machine on Windows and I didn’t have time to run locally, these are the tools I used:

In an era where we’ve become dependent on 24/7 communications and availability of the internet, but even more so on archives of information that appeared, became fake and then denied, the Internet Archive (including the WayBack machine) was down for a few hours because of a PGE power outage in San Francisco.
(Posted late because, well the WordPress.com “missed schedule” bug is back)
So this is a reminder to sponsor the Internet Acrhive. Because we can.

At the end of April 2014, Roman Yankovsky started a nice [Wayback] discussion on Google+ trying to get upvotes for [Wayback] QualityCentral Report #: 124402: Compiler bug when comparing chars.
His report basically comes down to that when using Ansi character literals like #255, the compiler treats them as single-byte encoded characters in the current code page of your Windows context, translates them to Unicode, then processes them.
The QC report has been dismissed as “Test Case Error” (within 15 minutes of stating “need more info”) by one of the compiler engineers, directing to the [Wayback] UsingCharacterLiterals section of Delphi in a Unicode World Part III: Unicodifying Your Code where – heaven forbid – they suggest to replace #128 with the Euro-Sign literal.
I disagree, as the issue happens without any hint or warning whatsoever, and causes code that compiles fine in Delphi <= 2007 to fail in subtle ways on Delphi >= 2009.
The compiler should issue a hint or warning when you potentially can screw up. It doesn’t. Not here.
Quite a few knowledgeable Delphi people got involved in the discussion:

[WayBack] cov.fefe.de – The Isoblog.
(it was Scheduled for 09:00 UTC, but after all these years, WordPress.com at random still suffers from the “missed schedule” bug)
Brilliant move. Der Spiegel never had a chance, and even Der Postillion is in awe. (Context).
Yes, cov.fefe.de is the same content as blog.fefe.de.

The below is even more convoluted when you have ad-blockers installed: then the G+ integration won’t even appear and the behaviour differs between classic G+ and current G+.
So here are the steps:
- Remove the WordPress link from https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions
- In your blog settings (for me that’s https://wordpress.com/sharing/wiert.me) remove the G+ integration; do this in a Chrome incognito Window if the G+ integration is not visible
- At the same page re-add your G+ integration and follow further steps at https://jetpack.com/support/publicize/google/#reconnecting
Modern G+ settings at https://plus.google.com/settings does not have the above permissions integration link but classic G+ at https://plus.google.com/settings?gmbpt=true&fd=1 does.

Hi there,
I have good news!
A few weeks ago, Google+ made some changes to their API. In doing so introduced some issues with Publicize. The module still worked, but the updates posted by the WordPress app on your Google+ Profile or Google+ Page were only visible to you.
In the past few weeks, we’ve worked with Google+ to start using a new API. That API works just like the old one, with one exception: publicized posts are now public. You can’t change the visibility of publicized posts to “My Circles”, or anything else.
If you’re happy to have Publicize publishing public posts to your Google+ Profile or Page, you can follow the instructions below to delete your old connection, and then reconnect your Jetpack site to your Google+ account:
https://jetpack.com/support/publicize/google/#reconnecting
I hope this helps.

A great on-line way to cleanup html (from for instance style information) before publishing it on your blog: HTML Cleaner – Word to clean HTML.
One of the things is does is Remove inline styles.
Ideal for copy-pasting a quote from a web-site to your HTML editor.

Woot! Post 2400 (:
For my own reference.
My old stats: https://wordpress.com/my-stats?blog=7443331
My new stats: https://wordpress.com/stats/7443331
Hopefully the old stats stay for a while as they are far more useful.
