• 10.31.07 Spots AND Stripes for MoodBlast 2.49.9 posted in Geekery

  Well, based on my testing, version 2.49.9 of MoodBlast should fix the initial Leopard problems while maintaining backwards compatibility. I eagerly await your bug reports. Cut, copy and paste are back for Leopard users. There are a few error reports I got that I was unable to replicate, and I’m hoping that building with the Leopard SDK will just take care of them. We’ll see. New version on the download page.

  It’s mostly bugfixes, but there are some new options in the general preferences. And support is added for NetNewsWire. If you haven’t checked out the iCal integration, you should. I’m loving it. Visit the download page or use the “Check for Updates” feature in MoodBlast.

• 10.22.07 An iTunes Monitor for MoodBlast posted in Geekery

  A better solution: Proxi from Griffin has a built in iTunes monitor with lots of other fun stuff. You can just trigger a basic applescript on track change that sends “^s Rocking out to !itune”, replacing ^s with whatever services it should blast to. If you run “if player state is playing” […]

• 10.21.07 MoodBlast with Applescript Goodness posted in Geekery

  MoodBlast now has Applescript support. That means you can use all of its functionality from any program that supports Applescript. If you have a program to monitor track changes in iTunes, you can use that as well. And you can blast from Quicksilver with this simple action…

• 10.19.07 Reverse Shortened URLs with Quicksilver posted in Geekery

  This is a quickie I created whilst working on something else. It allows you to copy a shortened url (urltea, tinyurl, etc.) and hit a key combo to display it’s destination URL in large type. It could be modified to do a few other things such copying back to the clipboard and could take input in ways other than the clipboard. It’s essentially just a shell command and doesn’t even have to use applescript or quicksilver. Anyway…

  Alright, 2.49.6 is out without a lot of fanfare. New interface, new search and replace algorithms, etc. I’ve promised myself that I will blog about something besides MoodBlast before I completely lose the ability to do so…

• 10.12.07 So many new features… posted in Geekery

  I’m a little depressed that I’ve become so obsessed with MoodBlast that I haven’t posted anything but updates here. Between work and MoodBlast I’m finding there’s only 24 hours in a day and that’s just not enough. I need to slow the rotation of the planet just a little. I’m going to get started on my series of tricks I’ve learned in the making of MoodBlast after the weekend. But for now, 2.49.5 is out and here’s the changelog…

• 10.07.07 MoodBlast 2.49.3: YouTube, Tumblr and more… posted in Geekery

  MoodBlast 2.49.3 is out. There’s relatively extensive Tumblr support, as well as some features for posting YouTube links/videos. I also came up with a solution for the Facebook “Brett Terpstra is…” prefix peculiarity. The help file has been updated to include the new features, but here’s a copy of the Changelog…
