    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I got a text from Outkast while I was out at RBW to let me know my Twitter digest had gone wrong and was repeating the entries upwards of 15 times.&lt;br /&gt;
I managed to find someone with a working laptop and log in. It seems the wordpress plugin&amp;#8217;s problems are getting worse. I suspect this is due to Twitters format change which is also routinely screwing up my sig-image creator script.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve deleted the master copies of those posts, which has carried on down the line and deleted them from the other blogs. The plugin&amp;#8217;s been disabled until I can find an alternative that still works.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I appreciate people letting me know, and I know these mistakes can be annoying, but some of the emails I&amp;#8217;ve come home to find (now my computer is working for the moment &amp;#8211; power supply is in it&amp;#8217;s death-throws) have been absurdly vitriolic. I&amp;#8217;m sorry it&amp;#8217;s spammed your LJ page twice with duplicate posts, but it&amp;#8217;s not the end of the fucking world. Calm down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8212;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Transport twattery aside, I had a good time at RBW. Still feeling disconnected from the community, but feel like I&amp;#8217;m starting to get to know a few of them again. Also seemed to (at least partly) clear the air with a couple of folk.&lt;br /&gt;
Think I broke even, but with the panic issues I didn&amp;#8217;t go into it very well prepared and haven&amp;#8217;t properly tallied up yet. At least I&amp;#8217;ll have some money to go back into the bank tho, which will hopefully smooth things until I&amp;#8217;ve got everything re-assessed and re-prepared. I need to go back to base principles for a bit, and (in yet another instance) start over from scratch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, and my ferret shirts sold best of all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m still pretty sleep deprived though, so after I get myself a massive cup of tea, I&amp;#8217;m going to order a new power supply, make my bed and go to sleep without setting the alarm.&lt;/p&gt;
