- Here's what I did, which makes sense that it wouldn't work, but maybe it's not so dumb that I thought it might:#
- Post something on twitter with my phone.#
- Reply to that post#
- Reply randomly to either the top post, or maybe some other post, but basically attempting to post a rant but having no real idea how to do it properly, so all the posts get all tangled up in replies and whatnot.#
- Observe that this is not what Drummer puts out at all when you tweet an outline, and now I have a tool for doing this, so let's use it.#
- Download today's tweets into Drummer#
- Delete the tweets from the iphone#
- Reorganize the tweets into an outline where they all are sub nodes of the first tweet. One node with 15 child nodes.#
- Click the twitter button. My expectation was that it would confirm that I wanted to tweet them. #
- Of course, these nodes already had the little bird icon instead of triangles, so clicking the bird button on the left just took me to the tweet itself I'd already tweeted (and then deleted).#
- So instead, I made a new outline node elsewhere, then tried copy-pasting things around. This took a bit because I just wanted the text and not the structure, but I discovered command-A selects just the text, so copy-paste will behave like I was pasting unstyled, un-attributed text. This worked fine, I posted my rant, and everything is good.#
