Returning from sociology to computing applied to meteorology in this case I spoke about Face Book and Twitter impersonal account, where a few hundred people and institutions consulted daily weather updates and receiving tweets containing temperatures, summaries and short-term forecasts for local area.
The task to automatically update the data was originally done by Cronnix by some 3rd party libraries that suddenly stopped working.
Then at my request Edouard found a way with an Apple Script to send an email to a "secret" address of the Face Book page through a procedure called "post-by-email" posting the contents of the object of the email updating the weather data at regular intervals. Face Book by a specific application published on Twitter the same data.
From April 15 Face Book no longer offers this option. The emails are generated and sent by the script of Edouard regularly but the content of the object is not published by Face Book. The emails don't come back to me then I suppose the address is still valid but apparently has lost the option to post their contents.
OK, this is not the end of the world but I am sorry to interrupt this "service" I offered for years and that was used in addition to "friends" (sociologically 99% not even know who they are) also the local city council, hotels, tourist agencies, sports associations etc ...... My moment of glory!
It seems incredible that there can be an easy way to update your status automatically on the most popular social network by text strings as this is done continuously from any game or application annoying.
So sorry if sometimes I propose again this problem of social networks that I personally do not like so much but that if used appropriately (at least from my point of view) can have their little utility.
With the hope that sooner or later is found a solution to resume sending data on FB and Twitter, friendly greetings to everyone.
Federico.
PS:
@Edouard: I also own a mac book pro but I sacrificed the old imac for Weather Cat and all other dirty jobs that need a desktop computer. Sooner or later I'll have to replace it with a new one (working 24/7 since 2006 it has had enough) and then I will be able to upgrade to Weather Cat 2 and everything else.
