What a fantastic day!

What a fantastic day! I am so lucky to have a great family, great friends in a great neighborhood. The world is what we make it, folks. That’s the only lesson you need today.

Link Google+ to your blog, then to twitter/facebook…

So, I linked to a post back in mid-July about how to tie Google+ to twitter.

Sadly, at the beginning of this month, plusfeed.appspot.com (upon which this all depended) shut down due to massively increasing costs. Fortunately, Russell Beattie released his code under the MIT license, so I was able to hack together my own personal version of this over the course of a week or so of learning python.

And this I share with all of you now. Experienced python programmers might prefer the verb "inflict" as opposed to "share", and will only want to view how badly i mangled the original code through a pinhole in a piece of cardboard.

In order to use this script, you will need a web server (of the 24×7 variety) that can run python scripts as CGI, and has pycurl installed.

So now, for me at least, my posts take this path:

Post goes on Google+.
The "WPeMatico" plugin <http://www.netmdp.com/wpematico/> on my self-hosted wordpress blog grabs the post via the atom feed provided by this script.
The "Twitter Tools" plugin <http://crowdfavorite.com/wordpress/plugins/twitter-tools/> on my blog makes the post to twitter.
Facebook pulls the blog entry into my stream.

Now, all I need is a version of this for diaspora…

Its very dear to me, the issue of gay marriage. Or as I like to call it: Marriage. You know, because I had lunch this afternoon, not gay lunch. I parked my car; I didnt gay park it. – Liz Feldman That may be true, but any brunch is a gay brunch. – me
