Recentyl, it appears Javascript has been a bit broken in my Firefox installation. Today I realised that Firefox has been updated to 3.6, so i got the update, knowing that IE-Tab would not be available, but that there is a new adin, called Coral IE Tab which is compatible with Firefox 3.6, and so I can both use firefox, and websites that insist on Internet Exploder.

I have started using Twitter Digest to post a daily update of all my tweets. Unfortunately it had got itself into a bit of a loop, and was posting tweets that were anouncing new blog posts. Ooooh, lots of track back pings!

Twitter Digest allows you to ignore @replies. So i found where it was doing that

// Are we dropping replies?
if (get_option('ws_td_drop_replies') && preg_match('/^@.*/', $tw_data->text)) {
continue;
}

and used that as the basis for ignoring tweets anouncing new blog posts, by adding in the entry

// Eddie Brown Mod - drop posts that have been anounced on twitter.
if (preg_match('/^New blog post:.*/', $tw_data->text)) {
continue;
}
I checked the regular expression using Regex Plant: Online regular expression tester

Looks like the automatic upgrade worked.

Maybe my twitter digests start working again now. 2.9.1 is supposed to fi a problem with scheduled posts.
