For all of you following phoebe_cat on twitter, considering getting your pet to tweet. For this example you will need:

• Python 2.5.4 from here;
• phoebe_tweets.py;
• phoebe_text.py

Steps to take:

1. Install Python;
2. Copy the two phoebe_*.py files into a directory;
3. Open a twitter account for your pet;
4. In the last line of the phoebe_tweets.py fill-in the twitter name and the password;
5. Modify the talk list in the phoebe_text.py.
6. Set a task in Windows scheduler (or an equivalent for Mac/Linux) to run the phoebe_tweets.py every two to three hours. Have mercy, twitter is overloaded as is — once in two hours is plenty.

Note:
If you already have Python installed, just try it. It should work with 2.6.x, not sure about 3.0.

I found the core tweet code on the web, would like to give credit to the author, but have forgotten where I found it; sorry.
