I’d previously made a PHP script that sent MSN alerts, but now I don’t use MSN, it needed a revamp.

MythTweet

I knocked up a small PHP script that grabs the backend status, finds what is being recorded or watched, compares with the previous run, and sends a message to twitter using wget.

To use it, grab the script, change the username/password variables, chmod +x it, and then add it to your “Startup Applications” or equivalent if you’re not using Ubuntu.
