Twitterpated again

I had to take the code out again tonight... and I'm leaving it out for now anyway.

Adam Kinney's site and Jesse Liberty's site up at the same time locked up my machine... both trying to get updates from twitter. I tried to log into twitter with my phone and it could not get there, so I knew what was going on.

As soon as I could nuke everything running, I fired up VS2008 and rebuilt the site.

I'll just have to work on a different way to display that, because I certainly can't depend upon twitter to be up from the looks of it.

Silverlight Cream for January 31, 2008 - 2 -- #186

Late Cream today: Two posts by Adam Kinney, a reference to a new SL Site, HelloSecureWorld.com, and a discussion of SLEvents on Upcoming, then part 2 of Scott Guthrie's MIX08 preliminary videos... this one talking just a bit about SL2.0 info
From SilverlightCream.com:
HelloSecureWorld.com - A new Silverlight-based site
I had trouble bringing this site up, but it could be firewall issues. Adam speaks very highly of it in his blog post, so that's good enough for me!
SLEvents persisting on Upcoming
Here's another great idea from Adam... Yahoo's Upcoming service. It's all part of the groups.yahoo thing, but more centered on events. Has a whole social atmosphere also... invite your friends, etc. Best of all, this is where he is aggregating all the SLEvents!
Scott Guthrie discusses how MIX08 is going to be larger than ever
I didn't post about Scott's 1st part video yesterday because it wasn't necessarily Silverlight info (I don't think) ... I'm sure there's a link from this one back to the first one, so if you want to hear that one, go for it :) This one is more Web development and some hints about SL2.0

Twitterpated

So Twitter pooted last night and I turned the code on my site off overnight so it wouldn't ripple back to me.

Now today Twitter is pooting again, and of course I've got the code turned back on because at 5:30 this morning it was alive.

My question is... is this normal for Twitter? I've only been using it a few weeks, but yesterday afternoon and today aren't looking great for them, and it seems like it's taking them a while to come up.

For anyone trying to look at my site outside an anal-retentive environment like I'm in, be patient.. it'll eventually come up, it's just TwitterPated [my mangling of the usage]. If however, you're inside a facility like this... no problem! ... it doesn't even display when Twitter is up ... lol

And a morning laugh in case you read this far... in my current adventure of merging some legacy .NET 1.1 code, I came across this line in a .aspx file:

                                  

That's 34 of those suckers... and there was a CSS file in this project ... yikes... just had to share.
