Heroku Platform being down brings down entire app :(

[yjukaku]

Hey, thanks for your work on this gem.

Unfortunately Heroku's Platform API seems to be down right now. It looks like this causes workless to raise an exception, which seems to bring down my entire app.

Is there anything we can do from this gem to prevent this?
