ShowMeFavs
I tend to use my Twitter favorites as a home for quotes, thoughts or anything I can use for inspiration or thinking or sometimes a needed self butt-kicking.
I wanted to have a way of having them pop up from time to time so I wrote a little Python script which grabs a random favorite and displays it in the Terminal. I was going to get it working with Growl and I hope to eventually but it was better to push what I had done out.
It’s been a bit since I’ve written Python so I’m sure there are much better ways of doing this. Also, there is no authentication in the script so if your account is private, it won’t work. That’ll be a task for another day.
To run, all you’ll need to do is: python showmefavs.py [username]
Enjoy!
