Howdy Steve and WeatherCat scripters and twitters . . . . .
Correct. What I tried last year was simply a daily summary set at XXXX seconds, but ran into no tags available for whatever I was trying then as well as problems getting two Twitter AppleScripts to work. I mentioned alerts as another interesting possibility.
Well, as I watched the raindrops fall, I spliced into my
WC Twitter Uploader script new handler to receive strings sent from other AppleScripts. I modified the idle loop to check once a minute for any strings that might have been forwarded from other scripts to be uploaded to Twitter. Once a minute
WC Twitter Uploader uploads to Twitter any strings that has been forwarded to it.
Then I hacked up a test call to forward a string to be sent to Twitter and . . . . . . . .

Okay, building on that success, I modified the main AppleScript library file to provide a consistent way for other AppleScripts to send strings over to be queued up for uploading to Twitter. Having done this, I retooled my test
WC Forecast Twitter script and ran a second test . . . . . .

This is a more substantial revision of the AppleScript package, so it may take me a while to get this all ready for "showtime," but the overall scheme is looking good at the moment!
Stay tuned!
