Twitter updates on my sidebar

Sticking some code here because its the easiest place to put it. I promise I have a real blog post sitting in draft status, I just get too distracted by things like this to finish it. 
Anywho, this is the code I used (largely borrowed from Jon Aquino) to put my last 5 twitters (tweets?) in a module over yonder –>
If you use it, be sure to change YOURUSERID to whatever your user id really is. If you don’t know what it is, click the RSS link @ the bottom of your Twitter profile. Your user id is the numbers before the .rss.
<script type="text/javascript"><br />function twitterCallback(obj) {<br />var html = '';<br />for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {<br /> html += '<li><a href="\"http://twitter.com/'+ obj[i].user.screen_name + '/statuses/' + obj[i].id +'\">' + obj[i].text +' </a></li>';<br />}<br />document.getElementById('twitter_list').innerHTML = html;<br />}<br /></script><br /><ul id="twitter_list"></ul><br /><script src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/YOURUSERID.json?callback=twitterCallback&count=5" type="text/javascript"></script>
Well there it is. Maybe one day if I’m feeling froggy I’ll make it into a “real” Blogger widget. Don’t hold your breath though. 
Update: Fixed so it works with the changes made to Twitters API.
