Twitter for Computer Geeks

I've never much been into Twitter -- I barely keep up with my normal text messages, let alone read and post the micro-thoughts of myself and others.

But today as I was working on my final project for class and submitting a commit to my repository, I realized I do Twitter, just in a geekier way. My commit logs, particularly those in repositories that I don't share with anyone, are littered with comments on my mental state at the time:
"Finished RwModel.py. I hate this project.

"Debugging display_warnings(). Warning: Brain about to explode"

"Tested CRUD. OMFG it's working! Yay!"
Hmmm...perhaps I'd use Twitter more often if I could create a hook to send Tweets from Subversion or Git. ;P
