dent, tweet, xpost - all in one


Tweeting and Denting are now incorporated within the eXpostulate interface, so you can really annoy all your online friends, by x-xposting to 4 distinct blogging services, & denting and tweeting to announce your new articles!

At this moment, the denting/tweeting is still using curl, however, which is only native to * nix systems (should work on lin/bsd/mac without further configuration, but win users will have to install curl, which can be done, of course).

I will be attempting to work out tweeting/denting with tcl's own http post method. I've tried a few times, but unsuccessfully, so far. Need to log on to #tcl at freenode and get some help, or something.

eXp0stulate

I've decided to take the code from TclTherapy (insanejournal client), and TkLJ (livejournal client), and join them together, adding functionality for DreamWidth and deadjournal, as well.
I have successfully merged the code, and X-posted to three of the above mentioned blogging services (I don't have a deadjournal).



I'll be calling this new bit of hackery
"eXp0stulate",
since it x-posts.
I'd like to add wordpress and blogger funcationality (especially since THIS blog is on blogger), but I believe that will require my learning to get this thing to write out an xml file and play nice with the xml-rpc protocol, rather than just sending a flat entry via http post.
Not sure...either way, it's just a matter of time.

I also want to get it to download and edit older posts.
I have a full TODO list on the eXpostulate wiki page.
