So I had a flash of inspiration today on the drive home, and thought about how awesome it would be if Growl notifications (Mac users will know what I'm talking about) could be sent to twitter, providing a poor-man's remote push monitoring solution. I get notifications all the time via Growl on events like failed backups, Drobo disk alerts, completion of torrent downloads, completed video encodes etc.
Turns out my brilliant idea was conceived, written, and published for free on the web already....2 years ago...
I feel dumb now...
Link here for those that might be interested in combining these two tools:

Edit: needs to be updated to work with OAuth, but still...
