Twitter, from CLI !!
so i have been using the vim plugin, to send updates from a vim session, be it from command line or from gvim.
but it doesn't have the capability to view friends timeline or replies. SO, tonight i got to playing with it, and published on [SVN] and [HTTP]. you'll need to update the USER_PASS variable, and possibly the *SOURCE variable for the Updates command. you can get the RSS URL for you friend timeline from the bottom of your twitter home page.
further, this script uses lynx and xmlstarlet. ( lynx is standard in slackware and xmlstarlet is available on slackbuilds.org)
enjoy!
new code browser
as a few of you may have seen, a couple of svn repositories have been served up here on http://hashbangbash.com/ for a while.
like
- http://hashbangbash.com/pub/src/
- http://hashbangbash.com/pub/balulivecd/ for Bham-LUG
- http://hashbangbash.com/pub/alf/ for alabama lug fest
most notably '/pub/src/' since its where the SlackBuilds and kde projects are kept.
WELL, there is now http://hashbangbash.com/viewcvs/ to more easily browse and review these repos. it will default to /pub/src/, but the others can be chosen from the menu if the upper right side.
cheers
NAME CHANGE !!!
due to my cheapness in many respects, i have stuck with batts.mine.nu for years. as many people could deduce, it is a freely availble deal through dyndns.com. being so, many people can register whatever they want.
lately there were a sweep of Russian hackers and phishers doing mis-deeds. this has pretty well jammed up many things for my site (i.e., search engines dropping me, email servers bouncing me, and even my own firefox warns me against visiting my site 
SO,
officially, i'm rebranded as hashbangbash.com
i set up a mod_rewrite web forward to allow the search engines to re-index
after a while of that, i will remove all ties that i have to batts.mine.nu, in the meanwhile i will be attempting to update anything that links, to instead point it to {blog,webmail,music,ftp,www}.hashbangbash.com
thanks all!
thank you Randy Pausch!
i recently watched a lecture of Randy Pausch, his last lecture, and followed up by looking into the Alice Project that he was a major part of. after a bit of playing with it, i have put together packaging scripts for slackware for it, Available here, and you can just download the slackpkg of it here. (notice alice is dependent on jre-1.5, which i have available for download as well)
cheers, and i'm glad there are great people out there in the world
