Wil Wheton posted to Twitter today a request for an easy way to fetch all of one's tweets and store them locally. Someone might want to do that if they want a personal archive, or if they're interested in porting their data over to a Free implimentation like Laconica. Whatever your reasoning, here's a quick and dirty way to do it:
for i in {1..999}; do curl -s "http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=your_screen_name&count=200&page=$i" | grep '<text>' | sed -e 's/^ *<text>\(.*\)<\/text>/\1/' sleep 2 done
Just hit "ctrl-c" when you hit your first post ever.
