blt

[marnanel]

blt is, or was, a command-line application which checked Twitter for you as you were using bash, in the style of "biff".

It is currently broken, because it used the old-fashioned Basic Auth, which was turned off on 16^th August 2010.  It will be recreated to use OAuth at some point in the medium future.

I am very busy finishing a book at present, so it won't be for the next fortnight, at least.

blt is currently written in Perl.  It's quite heavily optimised, so it doesn't run slowly, but I have been toying with the idea of doing it in the same way, but in C, for speed.  Then again, perhaps being in Perl is an advantage in some ways, and keeping it in Perl would mean less rewriting.  Your thoughts on this idea are welcomed.
