I have been busy with a new linux machine. My first, (not counting the ones I did for the kids.) I have been too busy learning the basics of Ubuntu to tweet much, but I’ll try to feed you some tweets to satisfy you, soon.

Sadly, Beta vs VHS applies. Though, it would make a hell of a good back-end for the next twitter to come along.

And I know these people have more to offer. Maybe this 140 characters is all you need philosophy is bogus.

Check out the current issue of Linux Journal for an article on that (I’d give details but I’m not anywhere near my Linux Journal at the moment.)

sudo apt-get install twidge

apt-get works nicely with Ubuntu, but not in OSX. There isn’t a package installer for twidge either. Now one could download the source and compile it, but meh. 😉

But maybe I’m confused about what your problem is.
