starjour

A wee rubycocoa gooey for monitoring scripts of the *jour fad.

Uploaded with plasq’s Skitch!

You need xcode to compile it, but a pre-compiled version is here: http://rails-oceania.googlecode.com/files/starjour-0.1.0.zip

expando ~/.jourrc

You can double click on a message to make it do something appropriate.
The builtin service spies don’t really do much at the moment.

To implement your own behaviour, put something like this in ~/.jourrc

puts “reading .jourrc”

service(‘pastejour’) do |service|

  (from, to) = *service.name.split(‘-’)
message = “Paste from #{from}”
message << " to #{to}" if to

[‘pastejour’, message, lambda {|msg| system(“/opt/local/bin/pastejour ‘#{msg[:service].name}’ | pbcopy”); ‘copied to pasteboard’}]
end

	
or a whole darn class, in this form:

class Paste < OSX::NSObject

  attr_reader :text
def initWithService(service)
if init
@service = service
(from, to) = *service.name.split(‘-’)
@text = “Paste from #{from}”
@text << " to #{to}" if to
end
self
end
def service_name; ‘paste’ end
def run
system(“/opt/local/bin/pastejour ‘#{@service.name}’ | pbcopy”)
‘copied to pasteboard’
end
end
service(‘pastejour’,Paste)

whence

Dr Nic was asking for help on his version (rubyjour) which we couldn’t get to fly.
I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I had to get this done!
