I agree with a lot of what Neven Mrgan has to say, and hold his opinions in high regard. Case in point: his piece on “The Walled Garden.” However, his most recent post, in my opinion, requires a response. It’s a mundane issue, and so is this counterpoint, but I just couldn’t let it go.

I needed a script send an SMS today, and I found a very handy post at sudocode to send one via Google Voice, using PHP. I wanted to make it a little more command-line-friendly, so I rewrote it (ham-handedly) in Ruby and added some options parsing to it. It’s designed for — and only tested on — OS X, but may work fine elsewhere.
