So as part of the fixing the
Twitter ate my Blog! problem, I rewrote the script that handles this task to reliable deal with a weeks worth of data. The problem being, Twitter only gives you the last 20 posts in the RSS feed. Thus if you twit more that that amount in a week (which is very easy to do), the bulk of them would be missing. This was a concern from the start, but when I was handling them daily I felt it was unlikely that I would post more than that on a daily basis. Anyhow, I rewrote it such that it now stores all of the posts for the week until they are posted to the blog. A simple enough solution. So the first week it ran well except some of the entries were not in chronological order. Thus I had to modify it to keep better track of the date and time so I could maintain the order. Again, a simple fix. But in sorting this list of data I failed to keep track of the original array key. Thus the sorting process made a huge mess by posting multiple, multiple copies of each entry. I believe I've now fixed that and everything should work fine when it runs early on Monday morning. We shall see. :)
