(Ruby) Post to Twitter from the shell - noah

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 09:23:47 GMT

**The Twitter shell script is now [hosted on GitHub](http://github.com/textarcana/post-to-twitter-from-the-shell-via-ruby).** This (old) version is left in place for historical purposes. Put this in a file called tweet.rb, then call as follows: ruby tweet.rb username "my tweet" Or you can include your password in the command like so ruby twit.rb username:password "my tweet" (note that this is hugely insecure as your password will wind up in your .history, not to mention being visible to shouldersurfers). Updated: if a post is over the 140-character limit, the script prints back the part of the tweet that would not fit. This makes it easier to trim down overly long posts.

Given a list of HTML links (for example, a Google results page that has been saved locally) check each link that points to a page on a given domain, and report if Tidy complains that its doctype declaration is missing. Besides DOCTYPE, other strings to search for include "discarding", "lacks value" and "Error:" Remember to replace MY_DOMAIN with the actual domain you want to validate against.
