how much power does the PHP script take?

The script is very light.
It takes one or two seconds for each run.

@green_robot Haha! Oh man..

Request for consideration in future rev
Even as a "secure twitterer" it'd be cool to have the option to kick some stuff on to the board, like that TEDTalk thing I just posted. Perhaps a future version could follow secure tweets but only pass on #wg-tagged items?

BTW, it is pretty damn cool that you got this to work at all. I'm impressed as hell!

Looks like I finally fixed the bot. We'll know for sure in 30 minutes.

@ellouis Cool! although now there's that pressure to be relevant again

Something is still wrong with the way the bot retrieves the timeline.

It works fine from my computer, but not from theminx's server.

Probably an older version of PHP.

I'm disabling the bot until I can figure this out.

Aha! Looks like the bot is back in business.

@LillyLyle Cycles make noise! more noise than electric cars. Chains, gears, bouncing things. Enough for humans to hear. Prius, not so much.

Woot!

Great, so now the WGB's just one big twitter backup site.

@bittersweetdb When we were kids we used to clothespin a playing card to our bike wheels to sound like helicopters.

LillyLyle
@bittersweetdb It would be better to have flashing lights or something on the cars then, instead of noisemakers

bittersweetdb
@LillyLyle I think humans react more quickly to sound than to visual stimulus. Hence fire alarms are audible. Also sound is 360°, sight not.

bittersweetdb
@LillyLyle All they need is a whoosh or something we can learn to identify as "car: danger;" doesn't need to be v loud or aggravating.

@LillyLyle Most avid cyclists learn early to add a chime to their handlebar. Both warning to pedestrians as a notice to cars.

@LillyLyle Times that I am in danger of being mowed down by a cyclist are not in traffic, but getting the dog out of the way in the park

Yep. Mission accomplished.

Kind of nice being able to check Twitter and the board simultaneously. Now all the WGB needs is a Tim Horton's.
