Control your computer with Twitter!

[brandonio21]

Thought i'd make another topic dedicated to my current project, TwitControl, which can be used to do various tasks with your computer, through Twitter (i.e shut down, log off)

Currently, I am in version 1.05 BETA and I am adding a custom command feature. So that will be cool.
You can always check out the most recent public release here : <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://brandonsoft.com/twitcontrol.html">http://brandonsoft.com/twitcontrol.html</a><!-- m -->


I will also be posting update notes on this topic in the forum, so feel free to comment with your thoughts about TwitControl in this topic

So i installed it just to have a look, but I don't have twitter so its useless and I tried to delete it....
But HOW?, there is no Unistall, I can't find an install directory only some shortcuts. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt="" title="Crying or Very Sad" /><!-- s -->

[brandonio21]

If you go into Start>Control Panel>Programs and Features (Add or remove programs in XP) You can uninstall it from there.

Ok thank you!

Nice application...!

But needs more security.. i got it de-compiled in 5 minutes... hiding the .exe file won't give security (by the way nice linking to the .exe) but can be easily found..

Use something like Themida, i know we have to pay for it.. or else just get it off from the torrents (PRO version). When your not making from the program its okay to get it from torrents..
I know again, we can crack even if it is protected by themida too, but its very difficult and takes a lot of time..

And add some more commands... (for eg. "start a download, when given a link.." or anything.) it will be better with many more commands..

[brandonio21]

Thanks alot for the feedback and the suggestions! I will have to implement more security if it was decompiled in 5 minutes. Wow!
Ill try out this Themida thing, and see what happens!!

Hey guys! I've had some big plans for TwitControl, and I just thought of a new update. I could use the Facebook API to create a different side of TwitControl that allows you to control your computer with Facebook status updates as well. How does that sound? <!-- s:o --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_surprised.gif" alt=":o" title="Surprised" /><!-- s:o -->

[xolara]

Sounds good

Then you can expand to facebook users <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->

I have just worked on the Facebook module for TwitControl, and I have made it so it reads your most recent status on Facebook with no problem! All I have to do not is implement certain error procedures and actually get the code to execute commands when a certain command is in the status. Hope it goes well!
