If you've ever wanted a way (for free!) to send yourself notifications via SMS whenever certain predetermined events occur, now you can!  We've cooked up a really simple console application to do just that.  However first you'll need to setup a twitter account to act as the notification conduit.  When you've done that simply follow the account you've just created from your own account.  Now you can download Tweet.exe.

There are many different ways to use Tweet.exe; you could call it from a batch file, from a powershell script, using Windows scheduler and many, many more we doubtless hadn't thought of.  So it would be remiss of us if we didn't mention, that we provide no guarantees that this tool will even remotely work let alone do what you expect.  But it works for us, and we hope it'll work for you too.  Give it a whirl, but don't go using it for anything too critical just yet.

Tweet.exe <username> <password> <message>
