0152.57 *** Haven't been able to get updated tweets since 1:44
caused my irssi to block for ~90sec til that error popped up.

*** Twirssi v2.4.0; Net::Twitter v3.11008. JSON in use: JSON::XS. See details at http://twirssi.com/

have just upgraded, noticed that it blocks at login too:

note the time stamp difference in the last 3 lines, when irssi blocked the display was as follows:

0249.28 *** Loading WWW::Shorten::TinyURL...
0249.28

will continue to monitor the situation re: unable to get updated tweets and post as and when i see any issue (just saw an issue now which is what prompted me to check this post! :)

Yeah, the login blocks right now, but that is unrelated to hanging on polling. Please update this issue if you see the polling hang again.

Just got
0926.37 *** Haven't been able to get updated tweets since 9:19
but didn't notice irssi block. looks promising!

[deepseth]

1001.38 *** Haven't been able to get updated tweets since 9:54
again today, but no blocking again! looking good!

confirmed, was using IRC extensively this morning when it happened again without experiencing any noticable blocking! thanks! case closed i think :)
