PyRSS2Twitter

Last weekend, I wrote a python script that takes in RSS feeds, and posts them to a specified twitter account. Because the script I wrote then was a total kludge and often ran into rate limiting at twitter, I scrapped it and started over. Today marks the completion of iteration 2, featuring a fully threaded approach. The direct message handling is not complete, but the basic rss posting works. If you want to check it out or contribute, hit the link. I'll probably branch it and try a version that uses an event-driven framework instead of the threading.

  • Andy: oh yeah?
  • Casey: i would if this were Tron, anyway
  • Casey: man, things would be so much better
  • Casey: when programs made me mad i could just pwn them with my electric frisbee
  • Andy: and then drink pure energy straight from the source
  • Casey: yes
  • Casey: that stuff looks delicious
  • Andy: heheh, yeah it does
  • Casey: also, there would be no racism because everyone would be grey
  • Casey: and you can go from blue to red just by touching someone

Boom Blox is incredibly addictive. The gameplay makes me feel like I'm playing that stacked bottle game on the Midway.
