sumimasen: How to post to twitter from Launchy

That's all. Optionally, Get ruby-snarl gem. So you can recieve notify of result from your script. Here is my Ruby code. (Named 'Twitty.rb')

	# Simplest twitter client (only for posts)
	require 'net/http'
	require 'kconv'

	require 'rubygems'
	require 'snarl'
	require 'json'

	user = ARGV.shift
	pass = ARGV.shift
	status = ARGV.join(" ") \|\| ""
	status << "[twitty]"
	status_utf8 = status.kconv(Kconv::UTF8, Kconv::SJIS);

	Net::HTTP.version_1_2
	req = Net::HTTP::Post.new('/statuses/update.json')
	req.basic_auth user, pass
	req.body = 'status=' + URI.encode(status_utf8)

	Net::HTTP.start('twitter.com',80, 'proxy.server_or_addres.here', 8080) {\|http\|
	res = http.request(req)
	print res.code
	print res.body

	if res.code == '200'
	result = JSON.parser.new(res.body).parse()
	text = result["text"]
	posted_at = result["created_at"]

	Snarl.show_message('Twitty', "#{text} -- (posted @ #{posted_at})", nil, 10)
	else
	Snarl.show_message('Twitty', "response {code : #{res.code}, body: #{res.body}}", nil, Snarl::NO_TIMEOUT)
	end
	}

This script have two arguments.

You should supply your own user name and password to this script. And tweet is text message. Here is setting of Runny plugin.

I was named 'twitty' to this command.

Invoke Launchy by Ctrl+Space etc.(depend on your setting). Then type 'twitty'. And hit TAB. And type your tweet.
