  • 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…

  • 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.

  • 8.13.07 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.
