MythTweet – Twitter MythTV recordings

In the move to put as much of my house onto twitter as possible, MythTV was the next victim. I’d previously made a PHP script that sent MSN alerts, but now I don’t use MSN, it needed a revamp.
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.
