Yao and Linux

twhirl is a very fancy twitter client, however it does not have proxy settings.  Most of the people setup twitter API proxy on google appengine, however I failed to request an ID of google appengine. :(

After googling, I found a simple way to use proxy, and twhirl works for me every well, except a little slow.

HTTP_PROXY=xxx.xxx HTTP_PORT=80 ~/twhirl/bin/twhirl
