I have a bot that runs three times a day at 7, 9:45, and 12 noon that pulls an RSS feed for the website I administer, embeds the last 10 article titles onto an image and posts that image to the site's Twitter account.
Two days ago one of those instances got a timeout while waiting for an oauth authentication with Twitter and failed. Immediately following that I manually logged in and was able to run the Twitter portion of the bot manually without error.
Yesterday, all three went fine.
Today, only two of those instances failed for the same timeout during oauth. I just logged in and ran fine manually.
Twitter's backbone is Cali is <drumroll> Level3/CenturyLink
Folks... all of this can't possibly be coincidence.
