Easter hacking - insult_bird and VimDrop

I spent my Easter break hacking on some fun side projects, insult_bird and VimDrop.

F'ing Twitter

While it's not yet ready for prime time, insult_bird was the first project. The idea is to make a Twitter bot that randomly curses at the people that follow it to increase its cursebird ranking. All of the coding is pretty much done, the only thing that remains now is to create some potty mouthed insults and launch the bot.

Easier VIM launching

VimDrop is my first time using Applescript. I had seen a feature in some text editors where a directory could be dropped on the program icon in Mac OS X, opening the editor with a tree-view of the directory. Recently, I've started using NERDTree to get this kind of functionality with the command line Vim, but there was no way to drag and drop files or directories to start a Vim session. VimDrop does exactly this, complete with spiffy program icon!
