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.

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

  • Methinks it could be easier for small businesses to recycle. The easiest way to stay legal seems to be send (almost) everything to landfill 18:11:42

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