Loo and behold, it's Marvin, the paranoid android! What's he doing at Twitter? Find out and add him as your friend.



This has got to be the most geeky stuff I made in my whole life! Currently I'm reading "the Hichhiker's guide to the galaxy", a sci-fi comedy by Douglas Adams; and it's great reading. One of the characters is Marvin, the paranoid android; a depressed robot who keeps getting everybody down. :)

There's a lot of hitchhikers fans out there, so I gathered some quotations from Marvin (mythical!), encapsulated them in a text file, a quote per line, and casted a little bash script. I tweet them randomly one at a time, twice a day. I expect to cast some smiles.
UPDATE: For the more tech-savvy readers, I did some slight modifications to the weatherlisbon script. And I also used randomize-lines (rl command) to generate the random line.

BTW, if you want to see some more quotations from Marvin, just toss them in and I'll add them to my list.
