  • 8.31.08 MoodBlast update, fix for Adium 1.3 bug posted in Geekery

    MoodBlast 3.2.2 is out and available on the download page. Other than a few minor interface repairs, it’s just a fix which allows Adium 1.3 to be updated. It was a stupid bug, shouldn’t have taken me as long as it did to find it, but all seems well now. If you have problems, contact me. There are other features in the works, but I dropped back to the stable release and made this fix in the interest of getting it out the door quickly. Enjoy.

  • 8.26.08 Adium and MoodBlast posted in Geekery

    As many of you know, the new version of Adium has broken MoodBlast. A few users are also reporting random loss of all preferences after a restart. I’m working to fix both problems, but my schedule is (still) insane. I’ll try to update the blog a little more with progress reports, and watch for a new release soon.

  • 6.28.08 Coming up for air posted in Geekery

    So, I haven’t been able to put the time into MoodBlast lately that I’ve wanted to. I have reports that it’s stopped working with the new Adium beta and some Tumblr troubles. I’ve also received a developer key for ping.fm, which could lead to some very cool things… once I find the time to make them happen. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to wrap up the branch I’m working on this week and put out a release that will address immediate concerns. Thanks to everyone for your bug reports and feedback, if I haven’t responded directly to you, it’s not because I didn’t mean to. Chances are, you’ll hear from me eventually…

  • 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…

  • 10.12.07 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…

  • 9.11.07 MoodBlast 2.20, Growing Up Fast posted in Geekery

    New Status Panel for MoodBlastWell, somehow I’ve managed to finish up version 2.20 of MoodBlast. We jumped a few versions because I screwed up my numbering scheme and this is not a bugfix, it’s a feature release. What a mess. But we’ve got configurable @keywords, Jaiku locations, an undo feature for wayward moods, a few fixes and more interface tweaks. Here’s a rundown…

  • 9.3.07 MoodBlast 2.0 posted in Geekery

    Okay, this is it. I’m letting MoodBlast 2.0 out into the wild. It’s probably got bugs, and I’m hoping to find them and fix them quickly. It’s got a slew of new features. I’ve implemented quite a few user requests but still have quite a few to go. I feel like Bartek must feel (on a small scale), trying to keep up with user demand on what basically amounts to free software ;). Here’s a quick feature list…

  • 8.22.07 MoodBlast 2.0 on the Horizon posted in General

    New MoodBlast ScreenshotFor anyone keeping track, there’s a super-cool new version of MoodBlast on the horizon. A revamped interface and a slew of new features (many from user requests). It’s basically a whole new program, with all of the original functionality. Here’s just a taste…

  • 8.19.07 MoodBlast: Standalone MoodSwing posted in Geekery

    Well, I had to learn a little Objective-C to pull this off, and it’s not beautiful (yet), but MoodBlast is a menubar version of MoodSwing, the script for updating iChat, Adium, Skype, Twitter, Jaiku and Facebook simultaneously (or any combination thereof…). It uses the same syntax, but allows for selecting of services with checkboxes right from the submission window. It can be called up with a system-wide hotkey (Control-Shift-M), and has all of the same features as MoodSwing. If you’re not a Quicksilver fanatic, this might be for you! Actually, I’m almost liking it better because of the quick selection of services, but don’t tell Quicksilver that. I added it to the MoodSwing download page, so they have to learn to get along now.

  • 8.16.07 MoodSwing 4 posted in Geekery

    Okay, MoodSwing 4 is ready. I think I’ve fixed the Facebook problems. Facebook changed their authentication procedure on the SSL version of the login page, probably to stop scripts like this. The only way in now is through http, which means your password is sent in plain text. You’ll have to be the judge as to whether that’s worth the risk. I’ve also fixed a bug with Adium where trying to go from Offline status to anything else wouldn’t work. I’ve added some features as described on the download page, and have once again rewritten the preference storage method. I think I’m settled on that part now, but if you’re a current user, I’m afraid you’ll have to enter your passwords one more time. The preferences are all consolidated in one file now. Lastly, I’ve separated the config section into a plain text file that can be put into the Actions folder and, if it exists, will override the defaults in the script, providing a handy way to edit the template defaults without the hassles of loading Script Editor and all the related apps. Check it out at the download page.
