dopplr changed their uid
I get an ical feed from dopplr which I pass through Yahoo! Pipes to filter and convert to JSON. Since I also combine data from tripit and upcoming, I look at the uid on each item to figure out where it came from.
Up until this Thursday, dopplr's feed contained @dopplr.com.
On Thursday night, or maybe on Friday, this changed to @yul.dh.bytemark.co.uk
bytemark.co.uk appear to be the hosting provider that dopplr uses, so my guess is that their boxes are looking at the real hostname rather than the host alias that they use.
Hoping they fix this soon, but in the mean time I've updated my code to look for bytemark.co.uk as well.
