All patches and comments are welcome. Please squash your changes to logical
commits before using git-format-patch and git-send-email to
patches@git.madduck.net.
If you'd read over the Git project's submission guidelines and adhered to them,
I'd be especially grateful.
3 These are a set of scripts allowing you to keep a copy of your Twitter life:
5 1. Dumping followers, optionally sending changes to you by e-mail at regular
6 intervals (using cron).
8 2. Archiving all your tweets as they come in, both their raw data, as well as
9 an HTML dump the way Twitter would dump it at the time.
11 All of this is very hackish, but if it's of any use to you, then great!
15 I think it's just running the scripts. For instance, I have the following
19 */6 * * * * $HOME/twitter/fetch_tweets.sh 2>/dev/null
20 */15 * * * * $HOME/twitter/track_followers.sh >/dev/null
21 2 7 * * * $HOME/twitter/report_followers.sh
24 Warning: I have not tested this as a means to extract past tweets. You might
25 well hit limits of Twitter. However, Twitter does let you export your entire
26 history to a Zip file. I've done that, and so should you. Then please write
27 a translator to squeeze all those data into the archive created with my
28 scripts, and submit a patch.
32 Speaking of: patches welcome, please send them to madduck@madduck.net using
33 git-format-patch and git-send-email.
38 1. Better handling of target directories, i.e. don't make them subdirectories
39 2. Exporting parameters (such as email address) to configuration
40 3. Dumping favourites/starred tweets
