neo900-ublog-entry faulty counter is blocking

https://twitter.com/Neo900UG/status/764026188880674817 was posted from Twitter web site, and the embedded counter was indicating 36 characters left.

Butneo900-ublog-entrywas insisting that the message was too long. (That explains why it doesn't appear in the microblog column of the site.)

    I've changed the character counting logic to simply try to post on a second, private account. If it succeeds, then we know the message fits.

    Also, I've changed it to not fail when temporary directory already exists - it warns, but you can either exit or continue with automatic wipe of old files.
