"direct $username" =/= direct message

[afuna]

I'm trying to remember how to send a direct message. I accidentally posted something public that I shouldn't, and managed to give THE tiny subset of THE WHOLE WORLD who reads my Twitter a peek into the random, embarrassing series of events that is my life.

Deleted now, so it only reached those who were following me through something other than the web interface. Still, oops?

It's because the twitter bot wouldn't work, so I had to move to the web interface!

(And in IRC, I have an alias /da which I use to send messages to you. I thought for some reason that the d in my alias was short for a direct in the actual twitter command. It turns out that it is the twitter command. Who knew?
