After a lot of fiddling around, I managed to launch a php script through Windows 7 Task Manager that mines data from the Twitter API every 5 minutes. The Task properties are as follows:
Program/script:
"C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\wget.exe"
Add arguments (optional):
-O - -q -t 1 http://localhost/sentimeter/mining.php

popup every 5 minutes, causing me to loose focus on the window that I'm working in. In another topic, I setting the /NOCONSOLE property should fix this, but setting the following arguments in the Task details doesn't work:
Add arguments (optional):
/NOCONSOLE -O - -q -t 1 http://localhost/sentimeter/mining.php
