 * Hey Nick,
 * I have problem with the posts. I am getting submitted the same post many times..
   This is not really good, specially about SEO!
 * As I see in the code (run.php):
 *     ```
       // max days to check for feed items.
       $numberOfDays = $lnx_lifestream_options['feeddbsize'];
       $numberOfDaysInSeconds = ($numberOfDays*24*60*60);
       $expireDate = time() - $numberOfDaysInSeconds;
       ```
   
 * and then:
 *     ```
       $keys = array_keys($savedItems);
       foreach($keys as $key)
       {
             if($savedItems[$key]['date'] < $expireDate)
              {
               	unset($savedItems[$key]);
              }
       }
       ```
   
 * What means that every post which is newer than my ‘feeddbsize’ (20 days) will
   be submitted again and again.. and it is! I have the same posts repeated up to
   8 times even if I delete them manually, so I have disabled the cron untill this
   is resolved.
    Please let me know if I am in wrong. But that’s how I see it. In
   my opinion this option ‘feeddbsize’ is not necessary. On it’s place you should
   save the last update time(), and compare with it.
 *     ```
       if($savedItems[$key]['date'] < $lastUpdate){
               	unset($savedItems[$key]);
              }
       ```
   
 * However you know better your code.. I hope there will be solution for that.
 * Cheers,
    Nick

 * Hi Nick,
 * Yep you’re right I’m having an issue with multi-posts on my site too but I’m 
   finding that it doesn’t happen for all feeds… perhaps that was a red herring.
 * I will continue testing and let you know 🙂
    Cheers, Nick

 * Hello Again,
 * I’ve been pondering over your logic, and don’t think what you’ve found is the
   issue.
 * `time()` is a continuously growing number (_in seconds_) – so …
 * now for me is 1257872836
    1 day is 24*60*60 = 43200
 * Therefore yesterday = 1257872836 – 43200 = 1257829636
 * `if($savedItems[$key]['date'] < $expireDate`
 *  … checks if the time-stamp is less than the time-stamp 20days (_or whatever_)
   ago, thus it is older than we need to store.
 *  Please note that earlier up in `run.php` (_line 108_) we have…
 *     ```
       // if item is too old dont even look at it
        if($item->get_date('U') < $expireDate)
        continue;
       ```
   
 * So if the time-stamp is older than 20days we don’t create the post.
 * … I’m still pondering over your other suggestion 🙂

 * Hi Nick (nm2net)
 * I’ve just pushed [a new change](http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/173068/linickx-lifestream)
   to the trunk for you to try … overwrite your run.php with the [latest version](http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/linickx-lifestream/trunk/run.php).
 * I’m looking to push this change out as version 0.1.4 but I’d like someone to 
   test it 1st.
 * The story for me is that I had my digg feed and google feed streaming just fine,
   but as soon as I added my WP Trac Feed all posts doubled/tripled/etc… I noticed
   a load of white space in the Trac Feed so I’ve cleaned it out and am testing 
   this version of run.php on linickx.com.
 * Hope it works!

 * Hey Nick 😉
 * Thanks for the updates! I really have no time last days, but I will try to test
   it over the weekend or next few days, and I will post my thoughts here.

 * Hello,
    I’ve just released version 0.2 which should resolve this issue. Cheers,
   Nick
