• 08.10.07 MoodSwing, The Script posted in Geekery

  Okay, one person suggested it and I felt like trying. Here’s a mostly functional version of the Moody Applescript that will simultaneously send your status and mood to iChat, Skype, Twitter and Adium, depending on what’s currently available. It checks to see what’s running, and if you have a Twitter password in your keychain. It works relatively well for me, although not completely dependable. I’m putting it out there for people to play with, but have no intention of taking bug reports or offering support. Have at it. Use the instructions on the Moody page to install.

• 08.09.07 Getting Moody with Skype posted in Geekery

  Here’s my fun project for the evening. It’s more than likely that this has been done a million times, but I was bored and wanted the mental exercise, so here’s the result. Moody is a little action for Quicksilver that will let you type your status and mood string and send it to Skype in one fell swoop…

• 08.07.07 Patti posted in Random Thoughts

  On a personal note, I went to see Patti Smith last night. She’s one of my few heroes and my new reason for not being afraid to face getting older. 61 years old and as unruly a rocker as ever. Well, a little tamed down, but no more so than the 51 year old Iggy Pop I saw a few years back. But it made me realize that I can continue doing what I’m doing and just get better at it, that I can be twice as old as I am now and be twice as good. That’s something to look forward to, rather than the idea of just burning out and becoming a shell of your youth. I’m a bit of a cynic…

• 08.07.07 UTW-rpc 1.5r: Fix for Fix posted in Geekery

  I decided not to compensate for the new changes in xmlrpc.php regarding the date/time format, but rather leave it up to the user to upgrade their Ruby install if it was broken. The conversation that details this and links to more resources can be found here. The version that compensates is still available, but for those who’ve managed to get their Wordpress 2.2.1+ blog working with TextMate without the plugin, version 1.5r is for you. Sorry for any confusion and my indecision. Details on the download page.

• 08.06.07 UTW-rpc 1.5 released posted in Geekery

  ‘Bout freakin’ time. Adds Simple Tagging support, new xmlrpc methods, slug support and more. There’s a fix for TextMate users who broke with WP 2.2.1. When they get the date deal sorted out, I’ll update the plugin. Latest version on the Autotag/UTW-rpc page. There’s a new version of Autotag in testing right now, so TextMate users, patience, please…

• 08.06.07 Jott2iGTD2.3 and “nkf” fix posted in Geekery

  Some minor improvements and a major bugfix. I don’t know why I have so much trouble replicating it, but more and more people are coming to me with the “nkf” bug. If you’ve seen this bug in your console, this release should fix it. Latest version, as always, on the Jott2iGTD page.

• 08.03.07 Four Days, One Measly Update posted in Circle Six Happenings, General

  Somehow, four days have crept by in blog time. Which is approximately four days in Earth time, as well. Circle Six has been overflowing with projects and we’re really excited to be completely swamped. We’re recovering from a recent three-day photo shoot for St. Croix, and all of the post-processing that goes with it has our photographer, Peter, pretty busy. He posted one of the more interesting shots on his blog…
