With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

Try downloading cURL from this link:
http://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz/?type=bin&os=Win32&flav=-&ver=2000%2FXP

I wrote a perl script to do this too, its open source on google code (http://code.google.com/p/gmedtwitpost/)
you setup the username and password in the script and then just run 'gmedtwitpost.pl new_status' and it'll update.

I blogged about doing this from the shell on the mac - using launchbar - it's darm easy, and works great

Of course you would want to alias this with something like:
alias twit='curl -u yourusername:yourpassword -d status="$1" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml'
(preferably in your .bashrc or the like) and then you could just do "twit Message".
I'm not sure if KDE's Katapult or GNOME's Deskbar Applet recognize your Bash aliases. If they do, then you could use this to twit from either. (In Katapult type "exec" first.) If they don't, then just use Saul's tip and save it as a script in your path, and you'll be good to go in either. (There are also several Twitter plugins for Deskbar. I'm not sure if they do anything more than send messages, for which it seems curl is perfect.)
Lastly, you don't need to download curl, wget (installed by default on many *nix systems) should be fine:
wget -O - --user=USER --password=PASSWORD --post-data='status="MESSAGE"' http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
