All You Gotta Do is Tweet, Tweet
In my slowly but ever expanding amount of social networking sites that I join (first Blogger, then del.icio.us, then Facebook), Twitter can now be added to the list. I had heard about it before and thought it was a pretty stupid concept (short phrase, mini-blog updates about what you’re doing throughout the day??), but I realized that a problem existed which I needed a solution to. Next week, assuming we go to Austin, I would be away from a computer for long enough that I couldn’t update this blog daily. No, I couldn’t do the same thing as I did with the trip to Tyler because on Saturday the last game isn’t until 7:00, and driving back from Austin would get me back to my house post-midnight. Unwilling to resign myself to having to end my streak, a little bit of quick research showed that I could use Twitter (which I can update from my phone) in conjunction with a WordPress plugin to take my “tweets” (as they are called) and generate a post summarizing them. It’ll probably take some tweaking to get it the way I want, but it’s definitely doable.
Before jumping ahead to that, however, we have our baseball game tomorrow. It is no longer in McKinney but has now been moved to Colleyville Heritage which is just on the other side of DFW Airport. Still a short bus ride, and the schedule time-wise didn’t change at all. Really nothing to complain about there, but that definitely can’t be said for all the changes that have happened in the past (*cough* Abilene *cough*).
