About

James Golick

James Golick is an engineer, entrepreneur, speaker, and above all else, a grinder.

As CTO (or something?) of BitLove, he scaled FetLife.com's traffic by more than an order of magnitude (and counting).

James spends most of his time writing ruby and scala, building infrastructure, and extinguishing fires.

He speaks regularly at conferences and blogs periodically, but James values shipping code over just about anything else.

Tweet From the Command Line

Jul 31 2008

I'm a command line junkie. I crave the command-line like addicts crave heroin. Okay, maybe a little bit less.

In an effort to spend more time on the command-line, and less time in my web browser, I created a little utility that allows me to tweet from the prompt. I call it tweet.

It's going to make me more productive. So, now I won't have to feel bad about twitter's victory. It will make you more productive too.

You use it like this:

$ tweet "I'm going to walk my dog."

You download it like this:

$ sudo gem install giraffesoft-tweet

You fork it from here.

See the README for the config file syntax.

That is all.
