Closed Issue: Version of skeleton db included in release

jfollas — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 18:12:42 GMT

Chris Love reports that SQL Server 2005 will not attach the copy of the database that is included in the release. Even though the compatibility mode was set to 9.0, this database was detached from a SQL Server 2008 server. Need to refresh the release with a proper 2005 database.
Comments: New version includes a SQL Express DB in the App_Data folder.

Created Feature: Convert Autofetch tasks into modules

jfollas — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 20:08:33 GMT

The current implementation of Autofetch is to simply schedule a TwitterCommand for execution. This is limited, because state is only known at the time of scheduling.

For example, suppose that you set up an Autofetch to retrieve your list of friends. Currently, Tourniquet calculates how many pages it will take to retrieve your friends list given the current number of friends (100 users per page). It adds one for good measure. Each page fetch becomes an individual command that is scheduled for execution. But, maybe a month from now, your friends list grows by a couple hundred people. Now the scheduled commands are not sufficient for retrieving the entire list, and Tourniquet is not smart enough to add additional pages on its own.

By creating smarter modules to represent this action, we can make Tourniquet handle this on its own. A single module, when executed, might result in 10 different commands. But, those commands are generated at runtime instead of some time in the past.

Created Task: Need to serve user information from cache

Twitter is currently down, and Witty (at least) is not working through Tourniquet because the login process of Witty tries to grab the user information. Tourniquet is currently not set up to serve User information from cache.
