- Open the gcal.bat file in your favorite text editor.
- On the third line, replace username:password with your Twitter username and password and save the file.*
- Now set up Gcal to work with Twitter with Twittercal (remember to add 'gcal' as a friend in Twitter.
Post to Google Calendar with Launchy
We're going to follow most of the same steps as we did with the rtm.batfile:You can add anything to Google Calendar using Launchy by typing
gcal, hitting Tab, and typing in your event using the natural language of Gcal's quick add (e.g., lunch 1pm tomorrow at Sally's). -
- Open the timer.bat file in your favorite text editor.
- On the third line, replace username:password with your Twitter username and password and save the file.*
- Now just add timer as a friend on Twitter and you're ready to go.
Set SMS reminders with Launchy
Again we're using a batch file and Twitter. This time it's a handy Twitter app called timer that lets you set SMS reminders. To set it up:Any time you want to set up a timed SMS reminder for yourself, just invoke Launchy, type
timer, hit Tab, and enter something like 'call mom in 45.' In 45 minutes you'll get an SMS reminder on the phone you've set up with Twitter. -
Google Calendar is all too easy...
Just use the Runny plugin and the command:
gcal | "http://www.google.com/calendar/event?ctext=+$1+&action=TEMPLATE&pprop=HowCreated%3AQUICKADD" (without quotes).
RTM also allows you to e-mail tasks to your account. That way you can make the excuse for not giving into twitter. (I am running out of excuses for that, personally)

- Open the rtm.bat file in your favorite text editor.
- On the third line, replace username:password with your Twitter username and password and save the file.*
- Now set up RTM to work with Twitter here (remember to add 'rtm' as a friend in Twitter.
Remember the Milk with Launchy
Any time you want to add an item to RTM on-the-fly, just invoke Launchy, type
rtm, hit Tab, and then type the task you want to add. See the command list here for how you can get specific with RTM syntax. -
Being able to append text to a plain text file on-the-fly with Quicksilver gets me through my day, and now you can do the same with Launchy. Appending text to a file doesn't require Twitter (ahh....), but it does use another batch file. This method comes from the Making the Ordinary weblog, and I've included it in the download above. To use it, you need to have a place you want to capture a list in text. The default in the
add.batfile isC:\todo\todo.txt. If you want to keep your list elsewhere, just change the first (and only) line of the batch file to match the path to your file.Whenever you want to add a line to your text file, type
add, hit Tab, and type your to-do. When you hit enter, the text will automagically be appended to your todo.txt file.

Perry BranchUsing Twitter via cURL for command line updates to Web Apps like "Remember the Milk" and "Google Calendar". Consider using with "Jott" and "I Want Sandy" as well. And for more security, consider wiring to KeePass thru the command line.
