It's ice storming / snow storming like Mr. Freeze is mad but good outside. As a result, I've been cooped up, and I wrote a perl scrip that gets Cron'd (run once per minute on my webserver). The script scrapes my RSS feed from twitter, does some basic parsing to strip out the subject and body, and then e-mails the results to my blogger address. In a way, it's blogging via sms text message -> e-mail -> blog.
If anyone wants the source code, I'll send it to you.
So, upon further rumination, I decided that everyone and their sister wants their content to be read. And most of it's shit. Hopefully this isn't shit, but it probably is. Everyone's got facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc. (esp. etc., as Nathan Punwar is wont to say). Everyone wants their content to be poured over, analyzed, loved. Everyone wants his / her ego stroked, and I'm no exception. Hopefully the quality of the content here is what makes reading my brain vomit worthwhile. That and the fact that I'm not playing scriptaculous, that I'm not a level 3 zombie, and I don't have my favorite drinks listed on my pages. At any rate, for irony's sake:
Beer
Whiskey
P.S. stop wasting my time.
