Following Anthony Sorace’s lead and borrowing a bit of rc(1) code from his tweet, I’ve whipped up a quickie script for posting a notice to identi.ca or your Laconica server of choice. It’s called dent, and you can retrieve it from /n/sources/contrib/josh/rc/dent on a Plan 9 system, or look at the few lines of script at http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/josh/rc/dent or http://labs.utopian.net/who/josh/plan9/rc/dent.
It’ll only work with a factotum(4) available to authenticate for hget(1).
Enjoy!
I updated the dent script to use the SSL connection to the api endpoint that identi.ca recently began offering. Other laconica servers may not support SSL; if not, change the protocol prefix.
