The previously mentioned history link is already gone. My daily webjourneys are now published regularly at Gfrast.com. The content is now detached from the limiting design of the old location. Now focusing on the weblinks only. Nothing more… nothing less.

In recent weeks one question formed in my head: How to share all the URLs I discover every day? In search for the easiest solution I decided to setup a twitter account which has the big advantage of multiple, already available, forms of input. There are small applications for mobile devices, the traditional web interface and also a nice firefox plugin which I am using mostly as I just have to hit one button while browsing the web to post URLs to my twitter account.

After having found my favourite webservice for collecting data all that was left to integrate it into this website was a php script which is run by cron to collect and save the most recent twitter entries into the local database periodically and another short php script which shows the twitter posts from the local database.

I like the result very much and this is just the beginning. Many custom extensions to the script are easy to realize (like custom syntax for sorting twitter postings into categories, etc.). If anybody is interested in the sourcecode of the PHP scripts please drop me a short note or comment this post and I’ll upload and publish the code under GPL.

Oh… I almost forgot to show you the final result. You have to visit the

As OpenID seems to get some big backers soon I opened up a free openID provider for anybody who needs an openID and does not want to stick with the big corporations: mojogroup.at (german interface only, sorry).

After registering and playing around with your new identity (e.g. at test.mojogroup.at) you might come back and try it on this wordpress installation too. I enabled OpenID support some weeks ago.

Mozilla Firefox 3 integration is just around the corner and even Yahoo announced some beta coming soon. Even Wordpress is featuring easy integration via plugin.

Looking forward to new possibilities of abuse and web destruction but maybe this thing is kind of going to relieve our multi account password brain safe.
