Talk to u later

Imagine its your girlfriend's birthday tomorrow. (No offense if you're single. You can still imagine. :p )

You had a very long day at work and thus, all you wanna do is go to bed once you reach home. But you know you have to wish her exactly at 00:00 because idk, its like the golden rule of relationship.

What do you do? You'll probably be a good lad and stay up all night just to wish her a happy birthday on Facebook and make her feel "special" (lol).

Or, may be, you can become a smart lad and try this dope thing. Talk to u later (ttyl) is for people like you. Its also for people like me. Its for everyone who are busy in their lives. Its for everyone who would love to send scheduled Facebook messages.

Requirements

I assume you have following things installed already:

• git
• python
• virtualenv
• a girlfriend (optionally :p )

That's it. Now you can send delayed Facebook messages!
