Macroblogging my microblog

terrikoYou can now get an aggregation of my daily twitter posts by subscribing to tko . I thought it was funny to use my shortened name for the shortened blogging. Also, I actually hate reading aggregated twitter posts in people's blogs, so I didn't want it sent to my regular blog in case people felt the same way as I do.
If I hate reading it, why did I set this up? Well, I've been telling myself for years now that I'd figure out a way to back up my twitter feed, but I never seem to get around to it. However, I have a perfectly nice way to backup my dreamwidth posts that I have all automated so I don't have to think about it. So click click, a new journal and a subscription to a service, and I've solved my twitter backup problem at least for the new posts.
Fun usability enhancement: My friend Valerie actually had to go searching through my twitter feed to find some links I'd posted on a given day (because I was tweeting recommended reading from Barbara Liskov's talk at GHC10). This is a pain through twitter's regular web interface, but nice and easy using a dreamwidth calendar. Woo!
I obviously won't feel offended if you don't subscribe, but it's there if you want it!
