• 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

  Well, 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

  For 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.

• 8.11.07 One More Mood Swing posted in Geekery

  If you’re digging MoodSwing, grab this version. It adds more dependability, and iTunes support and current weather ability. Use the instructions in this entry, but you can now use !itune to insert the currently playing iTunes track. And, modified from a Colloquy script, you can type an exclamation point followed by your 5 digit zip code to insert the current weather for your area. So !55987 will come out in the format “Right now in Winona: Sunny and 76°, 56% humidity.”

• 8.11.07 MoodSwing 2 and Qurl Clipboard posted in Geekery

  After being featured at TUAW yesterday and getting a few comments, I decided to take a closer look at MoodSwing. I’ve added a few new @keywords, more Skype support, Jaiku support, and the ability to clear out your mood message on your chat clients…

• 8.10.07 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.
