Nina left this morning at her usual 7:30 a.m. time to go to the prison for their Sunday morning meetings. A few minutes later she called to ask if I was supposed to be at a meeting this morning at 7 a.m. at the Stake Center. I was supposed to be there, of course. Priesthood Meeting had completely slipped my mind. I wish I could blame it on age, but that really doesn’t work for this one.

One of the fellows I follow on Twitter sent an update a bit ago saying, “At church … An hour early … Forgot about the time change last night!” At least we didn’t forget about the time change! I set all of the clocks that don’t know about daylight savings time before we went to bed last night. All of the computers that do know about daylight savings worked correctly. My cell phone switched correctly. However, the big “atomic clock” up on the wall did not switch correctly. It’s a pain to set the time on that clock. Oh well.

Since I had a few hours before going to Church this morning, I decided to do the code to put my Twitter updates on the sidebar of my blog. I wrote a script that every fifteen minutes goes to Twitter, downloads the last ten tweets that I’ve sent to Twitter, formats them, and puts them into my blog area so that they’ll be displayed whenever someone reads my blog. I originally thought to go get the tweets and include them on the blog anytime the blog page is displayed, but the Twitter Interface documentation says that they support a maximum of 70 downloads per hour per userid. I only update Twitter every few hours (unless exciting things are happening) so there’s no need to grab the updates each time the blog page is displayed. The process seems to be working correctly. The next step will be to insert the timestamp on these updates as well. Real Soon Now….
