// !!! QUICK & DIRTY HACK ALERT !!!
// this is kinda crappy, @sifen_trackbot tweets come out as multiple lines separated by newlines
// so for now we just split the incoming tweet into an array of strings (one per line) and pull the values out using explicit line numbers
// we always assume Tier1 value is on line 11, Tier2 is line 12 and Date/time/% complete is line 13
// this may (in fact it probably will) change in the future
// eventually I would like to come up with a better (i.e. less crappy) algorithm to parse the string and extract the values dynamically
// but for now this will do :P
