Okay, so the next one should have a <div> wrapped around it with class 'LoudTwitter', and it'll set the icon automatically.

I think the timestamps on posts have also been an hour out since we changed to 'British Summer Time' last weekend, due to a horrific date hack in the script. That should be fixed, at least until the next time the clocks change.

(The long-term fix for that is setting the server's clock to UTC, which I'll probably do when the VM is moved to the new host in the next couple of months.)

I also updated the copy of the script that runs for mine to steal your URL expanding and tweet-linking, since those seem like useful things to have.

As an extra bonus, it should now also auto-link any hashtags to a Twitter search for that tag. Although if it explodes tonight when auto-posting mine, I might disable it for your post.

Good news: mine seemed to work fine! If you notice any problems with your next post, just give me a shout. :o)

[azurelunatic]

Woohoo!

[azurelunatic]

My time blew up.

Huh - maybe my filthy timezone hack isn't needed any more. I've turned it off - let me know if the times are right next time it runs.

I loved the Topeka article. But then I always love Google's April 1st articles. I hadn't realized that ThinkGeek puts out April 1st items as well, until Wil Wheaton pointed me to them, but I got a LOT of gigglesnorts out of them yesterday. Squeezable bacon. Wireless extension cords. I forget what else there was because it was late last night and I have slept since then. ^_^ But I was laughing out loud and making Chris laugh at me for being silly.
