I was just looking for a small side project to spend a bit of time on, Shoes seemed cool. So I went through the ShoeBox to see what the smallest mildly useful app I could make would be. I saw that while there were a few Twitter Shoes apps there were no AIM Shoes apps. So this is the most minimal AIM app you will ever see.
Open up the IMShoes.rb and edit your user and password into the file.
Since I couldn’t get Shoes to automatically install the Net-Toc gem, you need to install the gem and copy the toc.rb into the shoes/ruby/lib/net folder.
The TOC file can be found below
http://rubyforge.org/projects/net-toc/
Besides that this simple project allows you to message any of your buddies, as well as receive messages from your friends.
Thanks goes to Ian Henderson who wrote Net-Toc, _Why for creating Shoes and making some of the best Twitter quotes of all time, and for Oliver for the sweet gentle reminder app which I used to learn Shoes and was my template for this app.
Good times for a little day project.
If anyone wants to keep working and add additional functionality there is a lot that could be done with this app. It wasn’t really my goal to make it fully functional though.
Im Shoes
Speak now or forever hold your peace:
Did you try adding:
Shoes.setup do
gem ‘gem-name’
end
at the top of the file? It’ll instruct shoes to download and install the gem the first time the app is run.
added
Shoes.setup do
gem ‘net-toc’
end
Works, sorta, doesn’t get all my categories. If there’s sufficient interest, and people want me to modify post here
I need to read the license, though. (oops) That’s all I added so I guess I’m good.
