I've updated the script to v1.1. I liked being able to set my status all at once but I also enjoy changing the message when I come or go. So I added the ability to change the both the status and message at the same time. The only problem is you can't have it both ways. You either have to do it the v1 way, no message change, or the v1.1 way, status and message change. Click here to open the script in Script Editor.

Thanks Evan. I’ve used that plugin and it rocks. I stopped using Adium because I do a lot of video chat. So integrating Skype, iChat, and Quicksilver was not only practical, but a lot of fun to do.

It’s not fully finished yet, but a more complete solution from the Adium side the Adium Quicksilver plugin. It adds setting away and available status messages, listing contacts and groups, messaging contacts, and sending files. You can get a beta at http://www.adiumx.com/download/Adium_Module_30b2.qsplugin.zip

It really isn’t hard to put some useful scripts together. Now I can’t stop! But it’s a good habit. Whenever I catch myself doing something that I’ve done before, I think how can I automate it. Then I see if someone’s already created the script. Usually, there’s something out there that’s pretty close. I just have to help it over the finish line. My next step is to get a good book on Applescript because I have some more complicated scripts that I want to program.

Anyway, glad you liked it, Raymon.

Works great & did integrate with Adium – thanks for these scripts – after a while I may be able to write my own following your lead.
