What’s even cooler is sending a tweet is as simple as invoking Do’s dialog and typing away. Once your message is complete hit enter and your message has been sent to your Twitter account. You’ll even get a notification that Twitter has received and posted your message.

If you don’t have Gnome-Do installed:

sudo apt-get install gnome-do

To set up your account you need to search “All Plugins” for “twitter” and enable the Microblogging plugin. Note: Because the Microblogging plugin is not an official Do plugin make sure you have “All Plugins” selected in the Show: drop down list.

Click on the Configure button > select Twitter from the drop down. Enter your username and password and you’re set up. Immediately you should start seeing tweets in the notification area.

The Microblogging plugin does have other features that can be explored. For more information check out the Gnome-do Microblogging Wiki. Happy tweeting!

All too often we let the state our happiness depend on how others treat us. We become consumed with the littlest things and we forget to look at the bigger picture. We let these “things” in our daily lives drag us down. Things that usually we have no control over, or sometimes really don’t matter much at all.

My grandmother gave me some of the best advice when I was a teenager and dealing with the pressures of life, “don’t sweat the small stuff.” Don’t be burdened by the things you can’t control and don’t dwell on these things either. It’s waisted energy and in the end, life will play itself out anyway. Keep a good attitude and take care of the things you can control.

The past few weeks I’ve been faced with some things that have really brought me down. They’ve changed my life and caused me to lose a lot of sleep. When I evaluated the situation and reflected on it I realized that although I love someone and care for them deeply; I can’t control their actions, intentions or feelings. I’m going to live my life to my principles and do everything in my control to be a good person. I’m making the personal decision to be happy. I’ve had to do a lot of soul searching and self reflection to finally be content. You can too.
