This little hack let’s you sync your presence with Skype’s mood.
To talk to Skype you need this little python client which in turn depends on Skype’s python api.
#!/usr/bin/python import sys import Skype4Py import pdb def main(): try: message = " ".join(sys.argv[1:]) except Exception, e: message = "ho hum" skype = Skype4Py.Skype() skype.Attach() prof = skype.CurrentUserProfile prof._SetMoodText(message) if __name__ == "__main__": main()
And here’s the elisp for the rcirc integration:
(defun rcirc-presence-hook-fn (process command sender args line) (let (msg) (cond ((string-equal command "306") (setq msg (let ((msg-response (cadr args))) (string-match "You're now away: \\(.+\\)" msg-response) (match-string 1 msg-response)))) ((string-equal command "305") (setq msg " ")) ('t 't)) (if msg ;; Now send the message to the presence app (shell-command-to-string (format "python ~/pres.py %s" msg))))) (add-hook 'rcirc-receive-message-hooks 'rcirc-presence-hook-fn)
When Emacs gets dbus support the python could be dispensed with.
