Twittering to Randomness
Since I so totally hate the concept of micro blogging and every minute updates, what people call as ‘twittering’, I am going to change the definiton of micro blogging.
Twitter says that you use their service to answer one question - ‘What are you doing?’
My answer would be not what I am doing, but what Twitter is making me do - posting randomness.
I decided to do something that would easily kill time, with no whatsoever utility. So I picked up my 9 month old twitter account and decided to use it for fun. I will try to get as random as I can in my twitters, while only I will enjoy the meaning hidden in apparent randomness.
Catch this madness right here, on RutSum, in the sidebar or follow me on Twitter.
If you liked this post, or found it useful, don't forget to subscribe to my RSS feeds. Or you can get my posts delivered to your inbox directly, by subscribing to my feeds by email. Or maybe you'd like to know what we are doing, by looking at our Jaiku badges. But I don't think you would be dumb enough to waste your time and have a look at what randomness I post on Twitter.

Why don’t you write a Perl/Python/Ruby script that runs ‘fortune’ every half an hour and posts the output to Twitter? Or a script that takes random quotes from random websites and posts them. Write something that can get an RSS feed from a website and post all the headlines to Twitter.
I fucking hate Twitter and Facebook.

The main purpose behind this activity was to kill some time. I really am very very free these days.
As for the twitters, I post them myself. They will seem random and meaningless to you, but of course they have hidden meanings, Try figuring them out if you can.

I would be pleased to write one for you, mate. It’s been a long time since I wrote any plausible code.

You forgot to hate the sweat based sand in your feet diffusing in from those puddles of mud.

You’re lame. George Bush can figure out your gibberish.

If you were at my place, right now, you would be laughing your ass off. The basic idea here was that I amuse myself with this activity, and I am doing that.

cool! You get amused by writing gibberish! That’s a first.

I thought random/arbitrary/gibberish stuff was the ONLY way which could bring humor.
Don’t know about the normal stuff.
