RSS syndication on livejournal seems to be broken

I don't know why, but for some reason, getting the RSS feed for this blog to update on LiveJournal Syndication has always been annoyingly difficult. I have to go into the PHP code and modify the GMT off-set by hand (something that should already be set by the GMT off-set in the configuration but apparently wasn't good enough for LiveJournal.)

Of course, every time I update this WordPress install I have to go and re-edit the PHP files for RSS feeds.

Further complicating matters was that I seemed to have /no problem/ whatsoever having RSS updates from cetan.org show up rather quickly on LiveJournal. I don't know why, but It Just Worked (tm).

However, ever since the big LiveJournal server move nothing seems to be updating for hours and hours. I updated cetan.org this morning at about 6 am CST but it just now (~3 pm CST) it showed up on LiveJournal.

All the more reason, I guess, to use something like Google Reader for feeds rather than LiveJournal syndication.

Edit/update (2008/09/12) - Well, it seems like I'm not only one annoyed by this. Enter userinfojwz:
