Code review started

I have a day off today, so I started to do a code review on Blabbermouth.
Before I can start to add a GUI to Blabbermouth, I have to cleanup variables names, remove unnecessary dependencies and replace hard-coded routines with dynamic ones so that features like „replace the avatar picture“ can be switched on and off from the GUI.

Added basic Skype support

Blabbermouth now updates the Skype mood text too

Blabbermouth on Twitter

I have just received an email from the Twitter support team:

Your request for a Twitter source parameter has been approved.



Messages sent by Blabbermouth will now be flagged as „from Blabbermouth“.

Blabbermouth 0.1

Blabbermouth is a Mac-only status message updater.
Blabbermouth runs in the background and checks every 90 seconds if your status (new iTunes song, new EyeTV channel, new web page, new front application) has changed and automatically posts an update to your favorite instant messenger and micro-blogging site.

Blabbermouth has started back in 2002 as a very simple AppleScript to update my iChat status message. Step by step its functionally grew. As of now Blabbermouth supports six different input sources and six output channels.

Blabbermouth has no user interface yet, looking at some old screenshots from its predecessor „iChat Status Updater“ will give you an idea what the interface could look like.

But as the old source code is lost, don’t expect to see a version of Blabbermouth with an user interface in the near future.
