The Shoebox. A place for lil' apps to live in peace and harmony.

Twitter needs Shoes. This is just another Twitter client, a Ruby client using this thing Everybody Seems to Start Getting Knowledge of, Shoes.rb.

So, i’ve done it under a Debian roof, so if you are testing it on a Mac, or even on Windows, drop a note…


Speak now or forever hold your peace:

Hi, thanks :)

I’m now dealing with the remote images code. I’ll be locally caching profile images and figure out something for when these change :) (I altered mine for the GoldTeam, p.ex.)

I believe _Why will add the remote image feature in a future version.

Time elapsed is now working fine.

Tonight I’ll be parsing the “tweets” text for “clickable” web addresses. Yesterday there was a problem with the API XML feed… I believe Twitter fault :) As you know, Twitter is a faulty service, lovely service though :)

time countdown…

Great! Yesterday I was thinking about programming this while at the Euruko 2008 party, I’m happy to see more people have thought about it as well.

How is it going? As the comments don’t show the dates, I don’t know if the app is being updated or not…

Hi,

yes, there are some problems being fixed. I ticketed some of them at Shoes Wiki.

I am reporting too at the Shoes mailing-list.

Ok. Today is 31-Mar-2008. The April 3rd, I’ll post the script here ;) and wait for feedback.

By the way, if someone could check Shoes Ticket #105 and test it, I’d be appreciated ;) This Ticket is intended for url pages.

Hi,

_why is back and moving to Git (hosted at Github). He will be posting a new release later today possibly. I’ll be testing on it…

ladybird 0.6

this is a testing version mainly to test design. It pulls twitts only once. Allows to send.

Don’t forget to insert your credentials at line 195 (later version has a config. page).

email me add-ons, fixes, etc :) pedro.mota at gmail.com

Amazing! After checking this page for weeks, I excitedly download the program to find that twitter is down!

Apparently that happens alot – maybe you want to add a notice to the code so people know it’s the site and not their program?

pedro mg

@tim: indeed :) It went down about 30 mins after posting the script here.

Awesome, thanks for this, a great little tool to discover how Shoes is running :)

I’ve got a small little problem: my friends have got a blue hue coloring their pictures, and I don’t know where it comes from, there’s nothing related to a blue-ish filter in the code…

Do you recommand using git-version of Shoes?

My platform: Shoes r396, ruby 1.8.6 [i686-darwin8.9.1]

Have fun :)

Hi Alx,

thanks ;) Indeed, a friend sent me an OSX screenshot, and the same happened. In Linux, doesn’t happen.

_why just posted build r532 in the mailing list, with a newer version of Cairo. Maybe you would like to test it. I’m using Raisins now, not Curious.

I’m using the latest git builds to compile Shoes.

When you see the blue hue fixed can you post the Shoes version here please ? Thank you ;)

I test the TwitterShoes LadyByrd 0.6 on a Debian Lenny and it works perfectly, with the exception of that it does not update the timeline, which I suppose that when alpha treats of a version or pre-alpha, it is the least important thing.

I attach an screnshot where it is possible to see in action. http://tinyurl.com/6lyzoq

Keep on rockin’!!

Randy, lovely screenshot !! Thanks :)

Yes, timeline is not being updated, on this early version. Version 0.8 Talking_bird will ;)

Hi Randy,

thank you. I would guess you are not using the new Shoes release, that uses new Cairo release too. Are you using libpixman-1-dev to compile the latest releases ?

Is that Debian Etch ? That messase is related to the fact that _why (thankfully) included the new image method, that gets URI’s and stores images locally at ~/.shoes/+cache. But this Shoes release only compiles with libpixman-1-dev, yet this lib is not in Debian Stable repo’s. Debian Stable (Etch 4.0) has libpixman1-dev (previous release)

I’m using Etch (4.0) on my laptop and Lenny (Testing) on my Desktop. I’ll try to compile latest Shoes with libpixman-1-dev on Etch (...I need my laptop stable). If you succeed please report ;)

This happens to me in Debian Lenny and in MacOS X Leopard. I will update Shoes to seeing if it is solved.

I send a screenshot of the failure that it gives me in MacOS X Leopard 10.5.2 with the last shoes-0.r396-curious-intel.dmg and TS-Plasticpecky 0.75 http://tinyurl.com/5waejx
