You can get an F91W for 12 bucks, a F-105W for 15, and most other casios for 30 bucks or less. A similar to the A1000 would be the A700 or A168 which are both so much cheaper at 20-30 dollars and will last you for years
Hey, this is the original author of the blog, it really sounds easy to automate, I am just lazy. I already have a script to setup Jekyll's metadata. I could use toot, a terminal utility to post the blog, using the description as the toot content and since the command returns the toot's url I could echo that and do some sed magic.
I havent had the time to set it up but I will write about it once I have the time...
