Send twitter status via Applescript

Monday, May 21st, 2007

Hey everybody,

a few days ago I signed up to Twitter.

Today I spent some time on setting up my Chatclient script (simple AppleScript script which sets a text as a status message for my chatclients Adium and Skype) - and it works!

1 First of all you have to get your key of your twitter acount from the Keychain
tell application "Keychain Scripting"
set twitter_key to first Internet key of current keychain whose server is "twitter.com"
set twitter_login to quoted form of (account of twitter_key & ":" & password of twitter_key)
end tell

2 Set the text from your input to the twitter_status
set twitter_status to quoted form of ("status=" & mood_message)

3 Send your message to twitter via curl
do shell script "curl --user " & twitter_login & " -F " & twitter_status & " http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json"

Thanks to Growlified Tweet Deluxe (based on Ted Leung’s Growlified Tweet) for the original code.

Hey everybody out there,

today I signed up to Twitter and - it’s really cool!
You can find my twitter status on top of my sidebar - so have fun with it.

If you want to stay in touch - get this!

What’s next? - I will check out the API of Twitter and try to upgrade my AppleScript-Chatclient-Script!

Flickr Geotagging

Today, I read an entry on heise where was anounced that up to now you can tag your photos on flickr with geodata!

Pretty cool I thought and run as fast as I could to my flickr-account ;-)

The first thing to do was reading the latest blog entries on the flickr blog - and I was flashed!
