double post

Whenever I post an update containing square brackets via Twhirl, I get an "echo" update containing the text of the update following the bracketed word. For example, from my current Twitter feed:

ping.fm double posts this.
5 minutes ago from Ping.fm

I'm betting [that] ping.fm double posts this.
5 minutes ago from twhirl

This shows up as just one post in ping.fm/recent:

ping.fm double posts this.
Posted: just moments ago
Method: Micro-blog

twitterfeed supports Ping.fm and laconica. I don't think Ping.fm supports RSS piping directly.

Just updated the blog and it showed up on ping.fm.

Just put up a test post.

http://procrastiblog.com/feed
should show up on
http://twitter.com/clconway via ping.fm

There is one real post in the feed from after setting up pingvine, but it hasn't showed up yet (it did get posted by TwitterFeed, though). I also made a test post, which didn't show up and I've since deleted.

Is it possible pingvine is checking the feed too often and getting locked out by Wordpress.com?

Chris Conway replied on January 09, 2009 23:17 to the question "How do I know if a feed is active?" in pingvine:

I see how the feed gets auto-loaded. I assume there would be an error if the feed link was broken, or the application key was wrong? It would be better to give some positive feedback, so the user knows everything is working as expected.

If the feed updates every 10 seconds, there's something wrong with my feed (http://procrastiblog.com/feed). I posted to the feed after I set it up here, waited an hour, and nothing showed up. I'll post it also in the "broken feeds" topic.

How do I know if a feed is active?

Having added a feed, there doesn't seem to be any visibility on it... How do I know if it's active? How do I find out which feeds have been added to a Twitter/Ping.fm account? How do I know when the feed will refresh?

I just added a feed and then posted to that feed and know I'm just twiddling my thumbs wondering if it will work... And I don't know how long I should wait.

Can't add plurk when password has "special" characters

My Plurk authentication wouldn't work until I changed my password to use only alphanumeric and underscore characters. My previous password had symbols in it (including '%') and Ping.fm failed to authenticate with Plurk every time. The password worked fine on plurk.com.

Chris Conway replied on November 14, 2008 03:50 to the question "Twitter authentication fails: password truncated?" in twitterfeed:

As far as touching code goes, I'm a new user of twitterfeed, so I'm not claiming anything has changed...

I'm trying to debug this and I'm just getting more and more confused. As of right now, I've entered an incorrect password for my twitter feed. Pressing "test twitter authentication" returns "twitter username and password didn't authenticate, please check". I saved that with update frequency of 30 minutes. 4 hours later, there is still a big green check next to the feed ("status ok").

Whereas previously, with the correct password, I had a 401 error!

I'd like to test out the various possibilities (long password, short password, non-ASCII characters, etc), but the feed just doesn't seem to respond... ?

Changed my password to be only 7 chars long and it's working again (for now)
