Yeah, weird idea, right?
I got an email this morning from Kisco Information Sysgtems (that’s how they spelled “systems” in the email) who has a product that runs on your System i / iSeries / AS/400 (whatever you’d like to call it) which allows your system to have twitter-like functionality.
They admit its an odd combination but go on to give you a few examples of how you could use it. Things like system, message or file monitoring, personal tweets back to Twitter or as an internal marketing tool. Not a bad idea. I think I’d still prefer the Domino version but I can see how this might be handy.
Prices range from $295 to $495 based on how many partitions it’ll run on. The Domino counterpart is free via OpenNTF.org.
Also if you’d like to follow all my random tweets you can do so here. Keyword: random.

By complete happenstance, I discovered that you can do a screen capture on the iPhone. (I know, 90% of you reading this probably knew that already; of those people probably only 75% even have an iPhone.)
Simply go to the screen you want to capture, then hold the “home” button and press the top button for a moment. You’ll hear a “click” and see the screen flash. Whatever was on your screen now appears in your photo album and can be downloaded, emailed or as I’ve done, attached to a blog post via the WordPress application.
… and yes, it does look odd to have the WordPress, TwitterFon, Facebook and LinkedIn icons so close together. Many times, I’ve opened the phone to see “W T F” or “F ‘in” at a glance.
