Rainmeter Twitter Skin
I just started using Rainmeter, a program that can can display system stats and such on your desktop. I got a couple of "skins" for it, namely Enigma and Hud Vision. But, they didn't have quite everything that I wanted, so I made my own skin - a little one that displays someone's most recent tweet from Twitter. It's still in progress, and I want to add more stuff to it, but here's what I've got so far as a .txt file.
I still want to make it look better, be able to do more than the most recent tweet, make the date look less weird, and maybe add some other stuff. I'm learning as I'm going though; I never knew anything about parsing webpages before I started. The only problem so far is that Twitter limits the number of page-loads per hour from an IP to 100, so it can't update very often (I currently have it set for every 10 minutes).

i'm very interested in this too would love to see your progress. i want to be able to embed my twitter stream onto the rainmeter desktop.
Is there a way to get the timeline of everybody I'm following rather than a specific person?
