In reply to: [Plugin: Twitter Tools] Occasional Double PostsHmm, interesting. I rarely ever post anything with double quotes, however I do use single quotes regularly.

In reply to: [Plugin: Twitter Tools] Occasional Double PostsSadly, that one has no ‘weekly’ option.

In reply to: [Plugin: Twitter Tools] Occasional Double PostsYep. Week 3 and I have another double post… That pretty much throws my theory to the wind.

In reply to: [Plugin: Twitter Tools] Occasional Double PostsWeek two of my test, another single post, just the way it should be. So I really think the ‘race condition’ theory holds true. Somehow, when called multiple times simultaneously, Twitter Tools doesn’t lock quickly enough or somehow misses the locks of the other threads, causing it to double-post.
Anybody got an idea on how to prevent that? (I’m no good at thinking up such solutions. Apart from somehow abusing memcached, I came up blank, and that would add quite a big dependency to it.)

In reply to: [Plugin: Twitter Tools] Occasional Double PostsI think the problem could be a race condition that occurs when multiple “people” access your site simultaneously (for example search crawlers that hit your blog with multiple connections).
I’ve set up a cron job to hit my blog just after the scheduled post time, and the one post it was supposed to do has worked correctly so far. Of course that doesn’t say much (I only have one weekly post set up), I’ll have to monitor it for a few more weeks before I can say for sure that this is the problem.

In reply to: [Plugin: Twitter Tools] Occasional Double PostsI have the exact same issue with my weekly digest: it always double posts. Anything I can do to assist with debugging this?
