I’m still on K2 (RC3), but I’ve ditched its Sidebar Manager for WP’s widgets. SBM has been causing lots of issues for me lately, but I haven’t had the time to muck [...]
Twitter updates, via CLI
I’ve just started using Twitter, an up-and-coming web service that posts user status on the web, in IM and in SMS. The service also exposes its API, so it’s possible to build apps using it.
I found a nifty way of updating my Twitter status through the command line:
curl -u username:password -d status=’status_goes_here’ -s http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml > [...]
