Ok, I didn't have a chance to try this when you wrote this Dave, but I'm going to give it a shot, and read and hack out this whole article... I new to trying to do things in the shell. And I'm willing to make a spectacle of myself on twitter doing so!

BOINK. I ran into an Authentication error. I forgot that OAuth is now being used by Twitter. Is there a way to get past this?
