I’m stuck in Twitter API Authorization Hell.  Apparently username/password combos are too old school.

I just found a Twitter API wrapper that also handles Yammer.  Oh the joy!  It’s exactly everything I’ve ever wanted and more!

There seems to be another problem with the merging algorithm.  Now it’s corrupting the source indexers, causing some of the merged content to end up in the source as well as causing an abnormal number of terminations.  Gotta fix that before proceding.

Turns out that I was simply sharing the suffix lists of the first indexer that had a particular prefix with the merged content.  The merged content would be fine, but that source indexer would have extra, random terms thrown in.  Those random terms, since they weren’t in the original, would cause a lookup error when trying to look up possible suffixes by prefix.  That lookup error would cause an early termination.

In other words, bad things happen.

Anyway, should be fixed now.

Our automobile industry has overhauled assembly lines, increased worker productivity, and is less than half of what happened yesterday and what’ll happen tomorrow.

Many apologies.  I’d hoped to have started on this around 5-ish, but failed to do so.  Oh well.

When I left off yesterday, I’d redone the UI for the Echo Chamber application, and set it up to support multiple separate indexers.

It is now the time to turn to Twitter.  I need to start scraping tweets and feeding them into the system.  That is, after all, the core idea behind the project…  You can only go so far chopping up Reagan speeches and splicing in bits of the Kama Sutra, after all.  ((Good evening. Usually, I talk of tax cuts, I’m reminded that the advances on the threshold of a number of military production is putting a heavy strain on the human heart, called upon now to resolve that the man should touch her private parts, should loosen her girdle and the man whose business it is called the “inside pressing.”))

API, here I come!

Israel agreed to negotiate a major agreement with Israel. That’s another accomplishment of this nation.
