• 11.2.07 mailBlast, Mobile Blasting posted in Geekery

  Granted, it’s not nearly the ideal solution to a mobile MoodBlast, but this script will allow you to send an email from anywhere and blast from your home computer. You can use whatever rules you like to trigger it and to make it secure. Once called, the script checks the subject to see if it begins with “blast”. If it does, it will send the remainder of the string to 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” […]

• 10.19.07 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…

• 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.

• 8.13.07 Grand Hysteria (MoodSwing 3.4) posted in Geekery

  MoodSwing 3.4 is out and has some significant changes, including, I think, a great new icon. It took me a while to figure out how to preserve the icon on a script when distributing it, but I’m hoping I got it. I’m sure I’ll hear about it if I don’t. I added the ability to make calls in Skype while telling all of your other chat clients you’re on the phone and changed the username/password method to request them once and then store them in the Preferences folder with blowfish encryption. Let me know how it works out for you.

• 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.

• 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…
