The Twitter API calls people you follow your “Friends”.  It was bad enough writing a program that was going to be a follower of Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck and Andrew Brietbart, now it has to be their friend?

I’m definitely going to have to reformat my hard drive after this one.

These are proposing this generation of destiny.

Time is the enemy here.  I did not devote enough time to this project and now I have run out.  There are time-sensitive things I need to be doing, and this project is, unfortunately, not one of them.

Leaving time aside, there are other issues which stand in my way:

• Using the Twitter API to post causes your tweets to be tagged with your application name.  Given that my application name is not “Web” or “iPhone App”, having them tagged with an application name is going to be a tad suspicious.
• The gibberish generator is producing gibberish.  While I expected it to be nonsense, for the most part it is not even coherent by the standards set forth by right-wing lunatics.  I did anticipate this scenario and I have some ideas on how to mitigate this problem ((I have a book sitting right here that gives the Dijkstra algorithm and another one that talks about neural nets…)), but I don’t have time to implement any of them.
• 140 characters is way too limiting.  Way way way too limiting.

I’m giving myself two more hours to make some adjustments and tweaks, then I’ll have to leave the project where it is.  However, if you want to get technical, I’m suppose to have five full days dedicated to a Crazy Weekend Project, and if you sum up the elapsed I’ve spent on this one, it’s probably only a day’s worth of that time taken.  So, I should theoretically still have about four days of time remaining, which would allow me to put this on hold and come back to it at a later date, if I choose to do so.

I get the impression that I’m gradually being corrupted by all this nonsense that I’m generating.  I think my posts are degrading in coherence over time.  I’d better stop for the night.

sound science must think we’d be a joke

Twitter seems to bring out some creative punctuation in people.  The worst part is the lack of spaces.  Spaces are what I’m breaking words on, so when spaces are missing, I get crazy long words.  And when I get crazy long words, I get a lack of choices.  And when I get a lack of choices, I get direct quotes back out.  And I don’t want direct quotes.  However, I don’t want to remove punctuation, because it’s important.

Choices…  Choices…
