 * Hmm, interesting. I rarely ever post anything with double quotes, however I do
   use single quotes regularly.

 * Sadly, that one has no ‘weekly’ option.

 * Yep. Week 3 and I have another double post… That pretty much throws my theory
   to the wind.

 * Week 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.)

 * I 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.

 * I have the exact same issue with my weekly digest: it always double posts. Anything
   I can do to assist with debugging this?
