you should be able to find them by time stamp, http://slashdot.org/~twitter/journal/ |
Oct 04 18:38 |

what is archive? |
Oct 04 18:38 |

how can you tell? |
Oct 04 18:38 |

i’ve seen the journal entry, but not on firehose |
Oct 04 18:38 |

The time stamp for both should be the same. |
Oct 04 18:39 |

“Archive” is one of the time spans i can select, but that didn’t remove most recent entries |

in any case, “twitter submission” doesn’t show any entries submitted by you |

I’m just surprised the server is up at the moment. It’s about half a gig per hour. |

Including PHP, which need RAM and CPU. |

But Digg FP usually takes it down. Almost every time. Then suspended by the host. |
Oct 04 19:57 |

Just in case, I’ll cut down some of the PHP scripts. There should also be some WordPress plugin. |

Oct 04 20:18 |

although it doesn’t mean ISO wouldn’t do it |

(just a unsubstantiated guess) |
Oct 04 20:19 |
| schestowitz |
I’ll keep that software off my server. It’s not worth the risk because I anticipate the issues based on what’s in http://elliottback.com/wp/archives/2… . We just need a torrent and I’ll optimise the pages slightly to reduce CPU load and DB queries. |
Oct 04 20:19 |

Oct 04 20:29 |

the problem is that they display m$ ads in exchange |

how does the FSF site work? |
Oct 04 20:30 |

Oct 04 20:31 |

Oct 04 21:21 |

My FTP on my site is disabled by the host, but if it’s not over 100MB, E-mail might work. |

Having this in an immediately-browsable form would be mint. |
