Plurk: Who needs an API? You just need rubies and mechanize
I’m not a Plurk fan. In fact we somehow, hate it over here on syndeo. But since some of my friends are already moving there. I figured out, hrmmm… let me see if I can mess with it a little bit. W/ the help of the plurk timeline I’ll tell you how I did it. (i find it a little cool to track your work log. hrmm, i’ll probably use it then for that purpose.)
8:38 PM – j4s0n: says plurk oh ok. let’s see if mechanize will work with you.
9:06 PM – j4s0n: says plurking from mechanize. got ya plurk.
9:16 PM – j4s0n: trying out another remote post to plurk. and saying who needs a plurk API? hehe.
9:23 PM – j4s0n: Conquered plurk in less than an hour. me laughs and saying, “who needs an api?” jokes! codes here => pastie.org/262494
So there you have it, it’s also the actual amount of time too that I’ve spent on the porcelain throne. Ugh, crazy… I love ruby.
In the meantime if you need the ruby code check it out on pastie since this site’s (mashupgarage.com) code formatting sucks for now and I don’t have yet the time to fix it pastie would be good for now.
Voila! Now back to meditation.
