Right now I am…
Right now I am fixing a couple of things backstage at bitful. Last week I had installed a WordPress widget to automatically include twitters in the main template, and because of an extra unneeded backslash character at the beginning of the code, I could not access my admin page any longer.
Twitter is a way to let people know quickly and easly what you are doing. You can update it online, from your mobile or via IM. Lately I have found it easier to update than writing a proper post here.
The extra backslash was part of this sidebar widget. I would let the author know that one of the versions has an extra character, but there is no way to contact her on the website (either that, or it is very well hidden). Apart from that, great job for someone who claims is not good at coding!
If you are into this kind of things too, I also recommend Twitter Updater, a WordPress plugin that automatically sends a Twitter status update to your Twitter account when you create, publish, or edit your post.
Isn't that amazing? Now my blog shows if I've sent any twitters, and my twitter page alerts you if I've updated my blog.
All of this, and still only two readers…

Hmm, there does seem to be something of a feedback loop going on here, which is generating loads of automatic Twitters telling me that you've been fiddling with old blog posts from 2002/2003 and stuff. Unfortunately, there are so many that they fill up my Twitter "what your friends are doing" page to the extent that I'm losing fairly recent updates from other people. So I've had to remove you as a Twitter friend for the time being. Sorry! Nothing personal!
