It might be useful to compile a list of all known Discordians And Related Clowns for any discordian twitternaut who needs good contacts. Of course, any of our followers' lists is a good start....

some of the discordian clowns are kinda spammy and contentless though. at least I wouldnt want to follow them all. same as I stopped following #fnord

There's a link to a list on the wiki earlier in the thread.

found. on first page.
speaking of which, enki, have you given up on the memebomb-bot thing?

[Rococo Modem Basilisk]

I haven't, per-se. I still have the code. The problem is still connecting it to SOMA. It shouldn't be *too* hard, but I still haven't gotten around to it.

If anyone else wants to give it a go, the code is hanging around.

That's the part I wrote, actually . The hard part is getting the memebombs out of the response from SOMA.

[fomenter]

you are xcubic? or you wrote a program that does the same?

[Triple Zero]

posting stuff to twitter automatically is nto that hard, ENKI already wrote that (afaik part of his tweets are generated already? corrrect me if im wrong).

the memebomb database outputs data in XML format, which should be as easy as pointing an XML parser at it in a programming language that supports files over http (such as PHP or Python, not sure maybe even Perl).

[Rococo Modem Basilisk]

Yep. I have one that will automatically grab from a text file or a fortune cookie file, cut it down, append the hashtag, etc. I'm just not familiar enough with the various python xml parsers to be able to figure out how to get them to do what I want them to. The focus of all the ones I've seen has been on getting tag args, rather than tag content. I may just use regexes, rather than bothering with xml parsers.

it's really incredibly easy to do. check out this little thingy I wrote for Cram a while back for inspiration:

Sometimes, you just need to know the Discordian Date right now.
