Testing twitterlog repost script

Oct 11 2007

[defiant chuckling] All I have to do now is move this script to a server that likes curl_setopt(), set up cron a day or two before we leave, and cackle at the results. It worked! There shall be once-daily reposts of tweets while we’re gone — and I actually learned some nifty stuff, too…

Since I seem to have activated my away-from-home batsignal, here are the SMS messages I’ve sent to Twitter in the past 24 hours. My tweets are normally friends-only, but when I’m away from home they’re usually more interesting than the usual ‘OMG where’s my tea?’ claptrap, so I’ve written a script to post them publicly in batches once daily while I’m gone.

3:13 PM CDT: Wishing I felt ok about turning my twitter feed temp-public while in NYC, so that I could republish current-tweets-only to cat.net.

8:07 AM CDT: @crazybutable Your idea contains too much sanity, so I will skip it in favor of writing an arcane scripted solution.
