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.

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.
