Please note: Twitter stopped using “Basic” authentication methods on their API calls and unfortunately this method no longer works. User “Laramy” (comment below) has provided a workaround and I am currently working to test this. This document is still posted for archival reasons.
Well, the world is abuzz with all things twitter so I figured that I’d join the fray. But rather than tweeting about farts being blasted into an office chair or a toilet that twitters or even a tweeting toaster, I decided to do something useful with this thing called Twitter. I have APCUPSd running on a Linux box that tweets when the server detects a change in power. Read more to find out how you can incorporate this into your linux server.
