Blogging from VIM is now possible using this script. This post is being written using it. But one problem is making me loose a great ammount of time: dateCreated, meaning TMZ headache.
Wordpress XMLRPC wants a datetime timestamp for the dateCreated field. I give it an ISO8601 format as stated in XMLRPC specs.

… well the name reminds Brad Choate’s Textmate blogging bundle Brad is an excellent developer and like me, was once a Delphi (Borland great product) developer. I based this on his Textmate work. I’m coding a Vi / ViM / GViM script for a plugin that has some nice results already, exclusively for […]
… when coding switter, using lot’s of command line, vim, bash, i felt the need to blog from vim. Some readings (quite a few availlable, actually) later, i was testing Wordpress xmlrpc using MovableType (Six Apart) calls to it. Vim allows ruby scripts (when compiled with that directive) use to create new commands, just like […]
…now, switter was accepted on rubyforge.org. I’ll try to put source and some docs there (rdoc does wonders) soon. Meanwhile, and with threahds now working for continuous message post/get, it just needs some tickles on the readline method.

Had a new idea for the switter (twitter shell client) client.
What if you had a switch that enabled you to secretly send commands to the shell via twitter service ? Now, that can be (is) dangerous. But what if you defined an hash with predefined actions, and “secret” (remember, unsafe connection) codes ?
./switter -u test […]
ENV is the hash that contains environment variables:
ENV.collect { |key, val| puts “#{key} ==> #{val}” }
ENV.each_pair { |key, val| puts “#{key} ==> #{val}” }
Need to know $HOME of the current user (needed for config files, say)?
puts ENV[’HOME’] if ENV.has_key?(’HOME’)
puts ENV[’HOME’] if ENV.key?(’HOME’)
puts ENV[’HOME’] if ENV.include?(’HOME’)
puts ENV[’HOME’] if ENV.member?(’HOME’)
been having some fun coding a twitter client for the *nix shell in (pure) ruby.
Soon will post source file for anyone to play with it.
Cool libraries used, include:
require ‘net/http’
require ‘rexml/document’
require ‘optparse’
require ‘yaml’
Configuration file created for user defs;
Command line switches prioritized over config. file;
Timeline options;
Working now on a minimal (shell) UI, message posting […]
res.methods.each do |meth|
print meth, ” / ”
end
… just to check wich methods my res object could call.
