First, you need to authenticate using OAuth as simple authentication has been disabled by Twitter.  I will not repeat what has already been done, so this is the best way to do it.  If you have no problems with that example, then at the end you will have a simple python script which allows you to update your status via the command line.  However, the most important piece is the authentication:

   1:  #!/usr/bin/env python

   2:   

   3:  import sys

   4:  import tweepy

   5:   

   6:  CONSUMER_KEY = 'Your stuff'

   7:  CONSUMER_SECRET = 'Your stuff'

   8:  ACCESS_KEY = 'Your stuff'

   9:  ACCESS_SECRET = 'Your stuff'

  10:   

  11:  auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET)

  12:  auth.set_access_token(ACCESS_KEY, ACCESS_SECRET)

  13:  api = tweepy.API(auth)

This will allow you to authenticate against Twitter and be able to work with the API.  Now you can add to your python script the code below.

How about printing your status updates?

   1:  statuses = tweepy.Cursor(api.user_timeline).items()

   2:   

   3:  for status in statuses:

   4:          print " "

   5:          print status.text

How about printing your mentions?

   1:  mymentions= tweepy.Cursor(api.mentions).items()

   2:   

   3:  for status in mymentions:

   4:          print " "

   5:          print status.text

The Tweepy API reference has a ton of great information.  As well as the Twitter API wiki.

PS: I love how the announcements has certain phrases in bold, I guess they are supposed to stand out:

I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

This was the not so descriptive error:

    -- Called 2000
; my sip extension
    -- Got SIP response 400 "Bad Request" back from 192.168.1.102
; sip reply
    -- SIP/2000-7b88 is circuit-busy
; this cause the call to go straight to VM

Looking at the logs and googling for weeks on the problem, it was possible that the problem was the following:

    -- Executing NoOp("Zap/1-1", "Using CallerID
""LastName FirstName   "" <11234567890>") in new stack

Please note the double quotes around my name.Now, after talking to X-Rob on the #freepbx channel, he pointed me to the extensions.conf file where the CallerID seems to be handled or generated.

I looked at the last commit X-Rob made and compared it to the previous one:

Revision 1891:

exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${AMPUSERCIDNAME:1:2}" = ""]?report)
exten => s,n,Set(CALLERID(all)="${AMPUSERCIDNAME}" <${AMPUSER}>)

Revision 1900:

exten => s,n,GotoIf($["x${AMPUSERCIDNAME:1:2}" = "x"]?report)
exten => s,n,Set(CALLERID(all)=${AMPUSERCIDNAME} <${AMPUSER}>)

However, this latest change still did not eliminate the double quotes from the CallerID.

So, I removed the quotes around the variable x and inbound calls finally worked! Looking at the logs however I do get an unknown name for the CallerID field, but at this point I don’t really care. I will try to work on the code and see if I can figure out the “correct” way to fix this issue, but for now I’m just happy I’m able to receive inbound calls.

Here is what the logs show with the “” removed from around the x:

    -- Called 2000
; my sip ext againg
    -- SIP/2000-0e25 is ringing
; my phone ringing
    -- SIP/2000-0e25 answered Zap/1-1
; me answering the phone

Cheers

Next, ensure that you have a repository for Enlightnenment you can find some here.

Now, this might be a little tricky, but this is what I had to do.

I had a very basic install of FC4 with no KDE or Gnome. Next, I did a

yum install imlib2.i386

yum install eterm

yum install enlightenment

After, all has been installed do a

switchdesk enlightenment

log out and log back in and you’re good to go.

Anyway, if you would like to search for the following pattern using VI or if you would like to use syntax highlighting using your own vim file.

Patter: ##/##/##@##:##:##

Search command:

:/[0-9]./[0-9].{3}.@[0-9].:[0-9].:[0-9]

or the much cooler one

:/d./d./d.@d.:d.:d

For all your wildcard needs, remember to refer back to the awesome VI doc site here. Enjoy.
