whenever witter sees a timestamp in an unexpected format it suffers an exception which stops operation continuing.

0.3.1-15 should be better and deffinately solves one of the issues. but there is still work to do to completely fix this.
i would not have guessed dealing with timestamps and timezones would have been this much of a pain.
Have you looked at what other twitter apps are doing? If a scripting language like python's having issues, I can't imagine trying to implement a timestamp parser in C/C++.

The diablo version has had no updates for a long time, my 810 was giving me grief and I basically couldn't be bothered to maintain both versions.
updating the icon would be pretty trivial to do if that's all you wanted. just download the new icon from the project page and overwrite the old one. I think at that version its in /usr/local/witter/icons/

I didn't, but the problem seemed to be a combination of factors. I believe now fixed in 0.3.1-16

Python on maemo doesn't support the offset notation (+0000) in it's timestamp parsing. there are libraries that would, but I'd have to bring a whole new library onto maemo which I didn't want to do.
Turns out there are at least 3 different formats of timestamp that twitter might return, depending on your location and the API call.
I think they all now work.

Is there a way for witter to be sped up using a cache?

not as such, haven't really given it much thought. I guess it would depend on how much of a pain it would be to re-layout things.
Probably not going to do much for a week or two, will have to think about what the next thing on my list is when I have time again.

you know the way websites boot up faster because some data has been stored? Something like that

It might not be possible though

on startup, witter loads up tweets like new even if i had it it running like 5 mins ago.
Is there a way for witter to show you the old tweets until the new ones appear?

In theory witter could persist tweets to disc and reload them at startup, however that's an overhead in itself, and leads to questions like how many do you store, how and when do you clean up etc etc.
it's not something I'd consider a speed improvement as such, though it would in theory be faster to seeing a tweet (depending on the cost of loading the data back into memory), but only to seeing a tweet you've already seen.

to be honest it is not high on my list of things to add.
