Way to go, Ken, technologically we’re almost there. We’ll be fully arrived when we have the W32/Wonkette.worm virus named after the site, for a virus which replaces any instances of the words “Sarah Palin,” “Ron Paul,” “Bush,” or “Cheney” with the word “Trucknutz.”
IT Lesson #13545: Do not attempt coding exploits unless you are sure your IT people will answer their cell phones at three in the morning.
Points for effort though, as no good code was ever written before midnight.
after re-writing 140 paragraphs, the new year will be here.
should’ve twaved your twork.

@wonkette advertisers: The ever helpful and knowledgable IT staff at Wonkette are the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human beings I’ve ever known in my life.
Singing my praises to the Gods that are, or were, or may be; that they have protected me from submission to the Twitter. I have resisted all that is popular culture since the Cabbage Patch Dolls from Hell, and only the Holy Wonkette could tempt me into the depths of the Tweeter/Twitter/Twatter/Twatt-ever.
I thought the whole point of twitter was that it doesn’t work. Or did I miss something? Do I have to subscribe or be a member or sign away my soul now to read teh wonkett? Also?

…and they outsource the work to us IT-slaves down here in the Antipodes… CA-CHING!!
I hooked my twit-all up to my IV,
and now I have a 24/7 constant feed of blathering innuendo in half expressed sentences.
And it powers my pace maker!
Now I hear that Larry Craig and other “staunched” republicans are doing pud casts from the men’s.
Don’t answer while your are eating . . .
By putting in a very minimal IQ requirement, you can block almost the entire tea-old-bagger movement from ever infecting your ears and eyes.
Twat?!
Our Wonkett on twitter. Somewhere, an eagle sheds a single tear.
Katherine Harris, Michelle Bachman, Sara Palin, the birth of the RepubliMILF
oh and Meg McCabe’s hooters
I hereby predict that Twitter will go the way of the moderate Republican in 2010.
You know THIS had to happen… a service for windbags who can’t hold it to 140 characters. http://www.twitlonger.com. You post your entire rant there, and then it posts to Twitter with a link.
Twitter is 99% links, since everybody’s too lazy to write concisely. Irritating.
Now, back to the party. Nappy Hoo Yeah.
Ken Layne – I’ve set up some realtime Wordpress blog-to-twitter things. The best ways to do it are to use the “WP to Twitter” extension with bit.ly, or to set up your blog to create a Pubsubhubbub RSS feed and use Feedburner’s new Twitter function.
Email me if you want/need help.
[re=486700]jagorev[/re]: Ken’s head just exploded
According to Roland Hedley on Doonesbury Twitter is the first draft of gossip. If I cared about seeing brain farts I would love it so so much. Why would you waste 10 seconds on it? Move away from the dark side, Ken!
[re=486616]Extemporanus[/re]: Yes.(?)
[re=486670]Gumboz1953[/re]: Nappy hoo-ha? Are you channeling Don Imus again?
Ken, those parenthetical URL’s are fucking hysterical!
[re=486606]Ken Layne[/re]: What, the American IT crowd is no longer working for hobo beans? Hey…have you heard about this place called India? Fifty bucks, a bottle of Mountain Dew, and a goat will get you a team of programmers for like a year.
Of course, it must be a clean goat.
[re=486700]jagorev[/re]: [re=486726]binarian[/re]: The tragic thing — perhaps the most tragic thing of this decade — is that I know *exactly* what Jagorev is talking about, and Wonkette has been using the wp-to-twitter plugin with bit.ly for a couple of months now. The “new thing” I’m trying to do is have an alive-active wonkette twitter page but integrate those 140-character bursts of dumb bullshit into the Wonkette front page and archives, so that they appear as brief Wonkette posts with their own post/comments page, because that would be 100%-a-fuckova lot easier than integrating a third column with a Wonkette twitter RSS, and plus there could be normal Wonkette comments and not just those goddamned @/# things. In other words, GOD *DAMN* AMERICA.
[re=486893]Ken Layne[/re]: I see what you mean. Maybe this’ll help:
http://frozr.com/wordpress/how-to-display-twitter-as-wordpress-post/
Here’s the plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-tools/faq/
Basically, this seems to pull your twitter posts into your blog, and vice versa. When it sends a new blog post to twitter, it starts the twitter post with “New blog post” – any twitter posts on your account that don’t start with that prefix seem to get pulled into wordpress as new posts.
I haven’t tried the plugin but it might work.
Can’t y’all jus let a playa play?
