Description Brion Vibber 2009-02-26 18:11:36 UTC
The sending of log notices to identica from morebots fails more often then we'd like; a frequent cause seems to be simply length.

identica limits messages to 140 bytes, so we need to ensure that longer messages get trimmed or split. (Trimming is probably fine; if there are more relevant details they can be read from the wiki -- the feed is mainly to get an overview of activity.)

Additionally, the "I failed" message from morebots would be more helpful if it distinguishes between failures on the wiki post and on the identica feed.
Comment 1 Andrew Garrett 2009-02-27 03:39:52 UTC
Fixed both issues - now truncates log message at 140 chars, and reports exception info as part of the failed message.
