Web 2.0 for your home/Twitter for your grocery list

μblog: engineering from the trenches » Web 2.0 for your home/Twitter for your grocery list: "I have hopped onto the Twitter bandwagon and created an account for my FreeBSD media server. My goal was to have the machine check Twitter periodically and send any tweets designated for it to a small thermal printer. This way, if I wanted to remind myself to pick up some milk and bread, I could send a tweet @routed and it would be documented. I bought a Verifone PrintPak 300 credit card receipt printer off eBay for a very reasonable $20 shipped."
