TweetMyMac: Remote control of your Mac via Twitter
TweetMyMac: Remote control of your Mac via Twitter
by Aron Trimble (RSS feed) on Sep 2nd 2009 at 3:00PM
Important safety tip: Please read the instructions for TweetMyMac carefully, especially the part about creating a separate Twitter account for your Mac -- do not use your regular Twitter account, or anyone you follow will be able to control your machine.
We have previously covered some of the ways in which it is possible to remotely control a Mac at home or in the office. Most of our suggestions have required the use of Mail in order to process some rule and kick off a script or Automator action.
Alex P over at TheMacBox aims to change all of that. Enter TweetMyMac, the little program that lets you get screenshots, iSight snapshots, or launch a program through the use of Twitter. While the list of commands available is not currently as comprehensive as what your imagination can create with a little AppleScript or Automator whizzbangery, it is a good list and growing as well.
An obvious benefit of this approach is the ease of getting everything set up. In the past it took an AppleScript to call another Automator action or some other kludgey-at-best method to get things working. With TweetMyMac there is very little effort required for setup.
Another neat feature is that TweetMyMac will run a shell command. With a little scripting you can create your own custom commands. And using the previously-covered technique of sending tweets via the command line you can have your custom commands send information back to you as well.
In my experience the software does have a few bugs/quirks, but that is to be expected with a beta release. One of the niggles I ran into was that the commands have to be exact. For example, sending "what is my ip?" will not be processed whereas sending "ip" will be processed as expected. It tripped me up a few times and from a user-experience perspective it would be nice to be fixed, but from the developer's point of view I can see the difficulty in coding around the whims of users.I was also not able to get the screenshot command to work from my Mac mini, but in talking with the developer it seems to be an isolated incident. The other issue I hit was that the same command would not be processed twice in a row. Alex has been a big help and it is obvious that getting this app working well is important.
You can check out the list of available commands over at TweetMyMac's homepage. TweetMyMac is currently in beta and available for free, but donations are welcome because developers like to eat too. Do you have any other remote Mac automation tools that you use? Shout out in the comments, because I know I'm always looking for ways to wrangle my home server into line.

Cable TV: Today's reason I need a man in my life now!!!!
At Comcast San Jose, you take a number and while you wait, view either Shrek 3 or The Jonas Brothers movie in 3D. They supplied the 3D glasses and, to my surprise, 20 or so customers were actually standing around, wearing 3D glasses, watching the boy band and their screaming, crying teenage girl fans.
I brought home a set top box and transport adapter and geared myself up for connecting cables and finally watch HBO. I read up to page 3 of the directions then threw them away because I have Tivo and the instructions don't include how the cables go in and out of that box with the set top box.
I called Comcast and the man asked me what boxes I had. I said Tivo and what I received from Comcast today. He said, ok so you have a DCH70 and DC50x.
Me: Ok, if you say so.
Him: I'm sorry. I can't hear you.
Me: Can you hear me now?
Him: Are you on speaker or something? I'm getting a lot of static.
Me: Yes, you are on speaker. I will take you off. Is that better?
Him: Are you there? I can't hear you.
Me: I'm here. Can you hear me now?
Him: Ok, I can't hear you so I'm going to call you back on this number.
Me: Ok.
He places me on hold, my phone rings, I flash over. He's not there.
Him: I'm back. I called you and didn't hear anything.
Me: Can you hear me now?
Him: I can hear you a little bit better. There is just a lot of static on the line. So you take the cable from the wall and connect into the box.
Me: From the wall? That's in my Tivo now.
Him: That's ok.
I pull the tv and the boxes out of the armoire and am unable to disconnect the wall cable from the Tivo. After struggling with the weight of the tv and the boxes...
Him: Did you put me back on speaker? I cannot hear you.
Me: Because I'm wrestling with heavy equipment. I can't hold the phone at the same time. This is too hard. I can't do it.
Him: Just disconnect the cable.
Me: It doesn't work! I can't do it! It's too hard for me!
Him: Do you have someone that can help you?
Me: I will have to call you back. I'm crying. It's too hard.
I hung up, cried more, then threw my phone on the floor. My cable is not set up. I give up.
Any man that came over to set up my cable boxes would be granted the remote control always and immediately. Sigh...I'll go watch HBO at Karla's.
