James on Software

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.

For the longest time, I've been telling myself that I'm going to stop using twitter. It's a waste of time, and I was just trying it out anyways.

Well, something keeps drawing me back to it. I keep tweeting. So, I've given in.

I actually spent some time styling my twitter page to look giraffesoftish. I even put the badge on my blog (to your right, underneath github).

Let this blog post serve as the (reluctant) official notice that I am on twitter. Follow me here.
