This is really just for my own use: I would like to be able to search all of my updates, ever. Twitter’s search (http://search.twitter.com) is time-limited – it only seems to search the last few weeks of updates, so it is difficult to find something I had posted months ago.

To get a list of messages from a user you can use Twitter API but you’ll need a user & password for some of the calls like the one you need:
Example for a max of 200:
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.xml?count=200
You can use other parameters like “since” or other formats differents to XML. Click here for more info
