	I finally got around to setting up twtxt! [0]

	I didn't install the utility yet. I was more concerned with
	writing microblogs than reading them for now. I knew I wanted to
	host it on my sdf site, which is hosted on meta (ma.sdf.org).
	I also knew I wanted to be able to author the microblog from any
	of my servers. It's not as robust as the phlog, so I shouldn't
	need to log in somewhere specific with a bunch of environment
	variables or scripts or anything. Here's what I've got:

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	twt(){
	local TWTXT=${TWTXT:-"/meta/www/t/tomasino/twtxt.txt"}

	if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
	read -ep 'Message: ' input
	if [ ! -z "$input" ]; then
	echo -e "`date -Im`\t$input" >> "$TWTXT"
	else
	echo "No message. Abort."
	fi
	else
	echo -e "`date -Im`\t$@" >> "$TWTXT"
	fi
	}

	meta="ma.sdf.org"
	host=$(hostname)

	if [ $host != $meta ]; then
	ssh -t [email protected] twt "$@"
	else
	twt "$@"
	fi

	It's not super clean or polished, but it works. If I'm not on
	meta, it ssh's to ma silently and runs the twt script on the right
	server. I can either 1-line it or I can just run the command and
	have it prompt me for my message. Then it's a simple append to the
	file with the datestamp and done.

	I guess I'll link it on the phlog? I'll have to figure out what
	I want to do about reading other people's twtxt's too. I think
	I need to write my own phlog aggregator before that, though.
