Well, this is fortunate. In the past few months the two main semi-automated content features employed on this site stopped working. One was the monthly list of most-read posts, the other the production of weekly Twitter compendiums. The latter happened when the plugin Twitter Tools for WordPress (the backend of this site) stopped supporting weekly compendiums. Enter a plugin called Twitter Digest. This post was the first test. It worked OK. In advance of next week’s compendium, the reply tweets (the ones beginning with @) won’t appear. Previously, these ran in reverse chronological order, but this chronological setup below works well, so it’ll remain the way these will be formatted. (Two copies of this post appeared, and I have vague recollections of a similar issue with Twitter Tools. I’ll keep an eye on it.)

- @compactrobot I sometimes wonder if there are copyright issues with that score because it appears to contain sounds from the film. in reply to compactrobot ->
- @compactrobot But I love that a computer thought your score Zip is the film. That'd be a pretty modestly sized compression of the video. in reply to compactrobot ->
- @compactrobot Yeah, perhaps they're just scouring for that. in reply to compactrobot ->
- @compactrobot Try posting three family photos in a Zip file with the same name. ->
- @compactrobot I'm about 20 pages from the end of @doctorow's Pirate Cinema, so your entanglement is on my mind. ->
- @compactrobot If it's the full score, wouldn't be hard to just match file size and title. If they're scouring innards, all the easier. in reply to compactrobot ->
- @compactrobot Yeah. They likely have the same files. Whoever "they" are. in reply to compactrobot ->
- @compactrobot I have no doubt they have rights to the soundtrack. in reply to compactrobot ->
