Taming Twitter with the Command Line

,----[ Quote ]
| I thought I was done with the command line for the week, but then I did 
| something cool that I thought I'd share with you.

| 
| There is a lot that can be done to enhance this. URL's in the tweets could be 
| identified (using sed) and packaged as links, for instance. A bit of code 
| allowing responses or retweets can be added. Eventually, with enough mucking 
| around, one can have a full featured application (like those that may or may 
| not be available) but made entirely from scratch.

Who needs screenlets when you can have Conky?!

,----[ Quote ]
| I have my windows set to 95% transparency in Compiz, which never applied to 
| Conky until recently when I started using the "own_window yes" option (see a 
| couple posts previous). Then it occurred to me that I could use it to create 
| a nifty effect! Here's I did to get the top text transparent whilst keeping 
| the bottom text opaque:    
| 
| + Run two Conkys. You might not notice, but the top and bottom of this 
| screenie are actually running two different Conkys simultaneously.

Fun with the new Conky 1.7.1.1

| This is my favourite bit, actually, as in addition to the ${image} function,
| I've also discovered the ${scroll} function, which keeps the artist & track
| names inside the speech bubble by scrolling them.
