Brett, Slogger is really cool. However, I have a couple of bugs/thoughts
for you.
Here\'s the results when I ran Slogger last night:
$ ruby slogger
I, [2012-08-09T00:00:06.477668 #1881] INFO -- : Loading last.fm logger for user rsgranne
I, [2012-08-09T00:00:09.822241 #1881] INFO -- : Loading RSS logger for feeds http://www.chainsawonatireswing.com/feed/

I, [2012-08-09T00:00:12.442129 #1881] INFO -- : Loading Twitter logger for user(s) scottgranneman
I, [2012-08-09T00:00:19.294869 #1881] INFO -- : Loading gist logger for user
/Users/rsgranne/bin/Slogger/lib/gistlogger.rb:9:in `initialize': No Gist user configured (RuntimeError)
from slogger:70:in `new'
from slogger:70
Two things:
\\
\
Note the error grabbing my blog entry. No idea why that failed.
\\
\
Note the gist error - my config has these lines for gist:
gist_user: \"\"\
gist_tags: \"@social \@coding\"
\\
\
I don\'t use gist, & neither your example config nor the notes for
Slogger said what to do if you didn\'t use a service. Can I simply
remove the lines for gist? Or comment those lines out? You might want to
include something about that in your notes.

It raises a warning, but shouldn\'t stop the script. If I recall my
late-night thought process, you should be able to just remove the gist
lines from the config and it won\'t run the gist logger.
I have an entirely ravamped code base in the works, so I\'m doing no
debugging on the current version. All of this is covered in the new
code, though.
