Twitter Returns a 403

September 14th, 2009 § 0

So where else am I supposed to turn when Twitter is returning a 403 error? My blog of course. Just tried to go to the actual Twitter website and was presented with this screen

I just found is strange that they let the server return it’s own error message than one of their usual fail whale messages.

I live in a very small town in Connecticut where everyone knows exactly what is going on in town however things can get misreported. This got me thinking as to how things could be better handled in our town and even within the county. A great example can be found with the Boston Police Department. In an effort to spread news of an emergency they turned to the ever popular Twitter to share incidents with the general public and give warnings.

Since moving to Boston in late August I’ve found this service pretty useful although it rarely affects me directly however it certainly has given me a heads up to what’s going on around me. For example, earlier in the week I saw this tweet after I got the alert that the T had struck a car on the BU bridge and knew that traffic was probably going to be even worse and that I should walk down past the incident to pick up the bus or the T to avoid getting delayed and be late to class.

I have a feeling that between the Boston Police feed and the Boston Fire feed any true emergency situation that would affect me directly would be easily conveyed and help keep me and others safe.

Bottom line, Twitter + emergency services = great idea.

Cloud computing is great. Until you have no internet… #
Note to self: reaching up in the dark to try and turn off a ceiling fan is NOT the best of ideas #

Finally home and back on "the grid" #
I'm jealous just saw a house with quite possibly the greatest architectural lighting I have EVER seen. #
@axdam Yes once or twice and @customspenc123 I know, you were right. in reply to axdam #
@axdam Haha thank you, but I vote you and @customspenc123 each get to sleep. You both need to be there tomorrow. in reply to axdam #
@axdam Hey it was merely a suggestion, not a command per se. in reply to axdam #
@axdam I'm working on it. And I may just take that idea of yours to heart. in reply to axdam #
@axdam Oh no, now I've gone and been a jerk. Sorry. Now I truly should go get sleep. in reply to axdam #
@axdam Oh no, now I've gotta work my way back up. G'night… again lol in reply to axdam #
Almost repeated my ceiling fan meets hand mistake. Damn you fan! #

@axdam You would be judging me. in reply to axdam #
@lekogirl and @theaterlackey At least I'm not the only one! in reply to lekogirl #
Thanks to the argument between @customspenc123 and @axdam I now want Taco Bell… #
@theaterlackey Haha, I wish. It was actually just about who owes who taco bell. in reply to TheaterLackey #
@t_farrell90 Of course he's talking about food. in reply to T_Farrell90 #
@axdam I would consider it if I weren't going to probably end up getting it in Danbury. in reply to axdam #
@axdam That's not uncommon in reply to axdam #
@emmaleighpw That's our job(s)! And yes it is hot as fuck. in reply to emmaleighpw #

Headed home from westfarms #
@emmaleighpw I almost went to Blue Back, that would've been creepy. in reply to emmaleighpw #
@dchec Ha! Yeah you do! I got Kera to get one for me tonight so it's all good. in reply to dchec #
@emmaleighpw I believe you're the one that needs to get kicked in the nuts for skipping out on rehearsal. in reply to emmaleighpw #
Note to self: I'm not very good at randomly needing to call shows. @dchec I missed the same spin that we did opening night… #
I love dogs! The dog at work makes it so much more entertaining sitting here. #
@lekogirl usually same way I do in the theater. That or using lil Velcro straps in reply to lekogirl #
@marktherockld Around here it's so that the blind can receive spoken instruction. I've been tempted to try it… in reply to marktherockLD #

I almost forgot, happy SysAdmin Appreciation Day! #
@emmaleighpw I would consider it if I weren't at work today in reply to emmaleighpw #
Oh boy! On hold with HP support… Each time i make a call like this i remember why i love my mac #
@emmaleighpw How nice of you! in reply to emmaleighpw #
Is it corporate policy for @starbucks to close at 10pm or is it just the ones in Connecticut? #
@lekogirl Wow! Northwest CT for a few more weeks, but even the ones I saw near BU closed at 10. It makes my caffeine addition tough. in reply to lekogirl #
@lekogirl Wow I really should re-read things before I respond, but I'm jealous. I'll have to scower Boston for ones open late. in reply to lekogirl #
@dchec Really?! I just left there craving it too. Damn. I thought Fishkill, NY was the closest one. in reply to dchec #
Good morning! #
@emmaleighpw I'm feeling you, I badly want either the Storm or the Tour in reply to emmaleighpw #
@emmaleighpw Nah bra, Verizon, they've got both. It's just a matter of upgrading. in reply to emmaleighpw #
@dchec I was checking out the Tour in VZW's store and the screen on the thing is amazing quality. in reply to dchec #
Happy Birthday to @emmaleighpw ! #
@dchec Your job is a pain in the ass. Especially with JoJo's mic craping out mid-show. #
@bwahacker Sadly, it still sucks in reply to bwahacker #

@curtis__ local news and that's it has been dragged into the national spotlight from him "misspeaking." in reply to curtis__ #
@curtis__ It should have simply been left a simple civil matter. Even if he had ideas I don't feel she should've made a statement like that in reply to curtis__ #
Now that my daily rant is done (sorry @curtis__ for catching the brunt) time to go enjoy a Friday! #
Love getting home from the theater at 1:30am when it's supposedly dark tonight. #
I don't appreciate the fact that it's 1am and it is STILL hot as hell #

Going to try and get a reasonable amount of sleep tonight. Good night #
Is it strange that I keep a crescent wrench and gloves in my laptop bag? #
