DOIT is now on twitter!

I was in need of a break from work, so I finally got around to implementing DOIT of the Day on twitter! For those not familiar with DOIT jokes, they are a set of jokes from USENET, or even before that. A while ago, I started maintaining a fortune database, which I wrote about here. I haven’t gotten around to packaging it up for various Linux distros yet, but I will eventually. So, you can now get your daily fill of DOIT jokes from twitter. Non-twitters can DOIT with RSS.

I wrote a couple of python script/libraries to auto-follow followers (CPAN was having some problems, so I didn’t use a perl script someone else had already written) and a fortune->twitter script. I will clean those up at some point soon and put them up somewhere.
