  • 9.10.07 Jott2iGTD Testers Needed posted in Geekery

    There are so many variables involved with making Jott2iGTD function for everyone that I need a little help with testing. Here’s a full packaged version that anyone can download to try out, but I’ll remove the link and move it to the download page once we get all the bugs worked out. If you’re currently experiencing problems with Jott2iGTD, you have nothing to list by trying this…

  • 9.7.07 MoodBlast 2.13 posted in Geekery

    MoodBlast 2.13 is out, current users can just use the built in update options. New users, head for the download page! As mentioned previously, Facebook is no longer a friend of MoodBlast. We’re sorry that it ended the way it did, and we hope they’ll call someday, but for now, we just need some space. However, and in no way is this meant to trick you into upgrading to a Facebook-less version, but UTF-8 and international weather support has greatly improved, the interface is further tweaked and we’ve added Yappd! Here’s why…

  • 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…

  • 8.19.07 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 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.

  • 8.9.07 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…

  • 6.2.07 Moving Wordpress Faster posted in Web Design, Geekery

    Move Site ScreenshotI’ve got a new script, but it has a very limited usage. I built it because I develop a lot of sites on my laptop using a local testing environment. In order to test my sites in VirtualBox with Internet Explorer, I have to use my local IP as the url for my Wordpress sites. Which means I end up changing the url and home address of the sites pretty often, sometimes directly through mySQL after I’ve already switched location. So here’s my solution…
