My twitterfeed haven’t been working for  a while now. The last update was 2009-11-25, so I went out googling on ”twitterfeed replacement” and found mu-feeder. A small python script that publish your blog entrys (or whatever RSS feed that you might have) to twitter. It’s very sweet but i missed the bit.ly support.

But, since it’s open source, there’s nothing that you can’t do about it . I went out hunting and i found python-bitly. A library for the bit.ly API!

After some tweaking in the bitly file I got it working.

Step 1: Download mu-feeder and unpack it.
Step 2: Download the modified bitly file and put it in mu-feeder/shorteners (diff here)
Step 3:  Edit your mu-feeder settings.py. set URL_SHORTENING_SERVICE to ”bitly” and URL_SHORTENER_LOGIN plus URL_SHORTENER_PASSWORD to your bit.ly username and the API key that you have on bit.ly.

That’s it. Now it should work just fine .

Have a nice weekend.

Hi folks. I have 6  invites to spotify. As always, enter your email in the comment and I’ll give you a ”Spotify Free” invite.
First come, first served.

Oh and yeah. I will delete the mail info asap.

Yeah… I’m out of invites.

I didn’t make any new year promise to myself. Mostly because there’s nothing more broken than a promise made when welcoming the new year. So, instead of making promises, I’ve made goals that i’ll try to complete and deliver.

#1 – My first iPhone application released

A couple of months ago I beta tested MonoTouch, the .NET framework for the iPhone. It’s a great tool for all of us who doesn’t want to learn Objective-C. After some testing I started to do some actual work for an application. It still needs  more work to be functional but at least I have something to go on. I all goes well this will be done somewhat in April.

#2 – Payson Drupal Module

This one is a bit disturbing and embarrasing. For a long time I’ve wanted to make this module for Drupal where you, as a user have the possibility to sponsor sites by paying a small amount of cash using paysons money transaction system. I like Payson, and it really deserves more focus . Hopefulle this will come handy to Drupal site administrators. Hopefully this will can be expected in fall of 2010.

#3 – Community Site based on Django

The Swedish Community has for a long time lacked a good community web site for tracking one of the finest things with open source – The great open project that makes whatever disitribution worthy of. It can be all from background search engines like beagle to music players like Listen. All small components that makes the linux experience that great! This should be expected in late 2010.

That’s the three prioritized goals that I have as it is right now. I’ll end this post now to get started .

See you!
