       iI finally got around to setting up twtxt! [0]
       i
       iI didn't install the utility yet. I was more concerned with
       iwriting microblogs than reading them for now. I knew I wanted to
       ihost it on my sdf site, which is hosted on meta (ma.sdf.org).
       iI also knew I wanted to be able to author the microblog from any
       iof my servers. It's not as robust as the phlog, so I shouldn't
       ineed to log in somewhere specific with a bunch of environment
       ivariables or scripts or anything. Here's what I've got:
       i
       i  #!/usr/bin/env bash
       i  
       i  twt(){
       i    local TWTXT=${TWTXT:-"/meta/www/t/tomasino/twtxt.txt"}
       i  
       i    if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
       i      read -ep 'Message: ' input
       i      if [ ! -z "$input" ]; then
       i        echo -e "`date -Im`\t$input" >> "$TWTXT"
       i      else
       i        echo "No message. Abort."
       i      fi
       i    else
       i      echo -e "`date -Im`\t$@" >> "$TWTXT"
       i    fi
       i  }
       i  
       i  meta="ma.sdf.org"
       i  host=$(hostname)
       i  
       i  if [ $host != $meta ]; then
       i    ssh -t tomasino@ma.sdf.org twt "$@"
       i  else
       i    twt "$@"
       i  fi
       i
       iIt's not super clean or polished, but it works. If I'm not on
       imeta, it ssh's to ma silently and runs the twt script on the right
       iserver. I can either 1-line it or I can just run the command and
       ihave it prompt me for my message. Then it's a simple append to the
       ifile with the datestamp and done.
       i
       iI guess I'll link it on the phlog? I'll have to figure out what
       iI want to do about reading other people's twtxt's too. I think
       iI need to write my own phlog aggregator before that, though.
