phrog blog

I just upgraded to WordPress 2.5. It’s quite painless. However if you experience any weirdness please let me know.

This is a stupidly simple script for sending microblogs to twitter.com using curl and spell checking them with aspell along the way. it looks like this:


#!/bin/bash
# tweet - A command line twitter with spellcheck - me@phrog.org
echo $@ > /tmp/tweet
aspell -c /tmp/tweet
TWIT=$(cat /tmp/tweet)
curl -u USERNAME:PASSWD -d status="$TWIT" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
rm /tmp/tweet
exit 0


Save the code as “tweet” and use it like this:

you@yourprompt:~$ tweet testing my tweet script

It should spit out some success xml. You just sent a tweet to twitter.

Of course you will need to edit the USERNAME and PASSWD to your username and password at twitter.com. If you don’t like copy and paste you can grab it as a file here. Hope you find it useful.

Two North Mississippi All-Stars shows from Steamboat Springs That I recorded quite a few years ago. I’m pretty sure I never got around to seeding these, at least the one from 2001. Old school, like this photo.
I think I nabbed this jpg from the nmas website about that time.
