This site will be up for some time still - if you have a login, you can still use it. No new developers are being accepted into the beta program, sorry.

tell application "Adium"
	go away
end tell

tell application "Skype"
	send command "SET USERSTATUS AWAY" script name "AppleScript status setter"
end tell

tell application "iChat"
	set status to away
end tell

Here is the reverse of that script, allowing you to set your status back to "Online":

tell application "Adium"
	go available
end tell

tell application "Skype"
	send command "SET USERSTATUS ONLINE" script name "AppleScript status setter"
end tell

tell application "iChat"
	set status to available
end tell

Using Script Editor on Mac, you can save each one of these scripts as an "Application". After that, you can either launch them via Spotlight or by double-clicking.

tell application "Adium"
	go away with message "Busy"
end tell

tell application "Skype"
	send command "SET USERSTATUS DND" script name "AppleScript status setter"
end tell

tell application "iChat"
	set status to away
	set status message to "Busy"
end tell

Before you launch it:

- Make sure to install sqlite3 ruby gem ("sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby") and google spreadsheet gem
- Open TweetDeck and create a group. If you have one already, that's fine. Remember it's name. Close TweetDeck
- Find out where TweetDeck keeps it's database file. On OS X, follow these instructions:
1. go to ~/Library/Preferences
2. Search for directory that starts with "TweetDeckFast."
3. Inside, you'll find another directory called "Local Store"
4. Check that directory for a file with a name that looks like "td_26_your twitter name.db"
5. Copy the full path to that file, including it's name (In my case, the file is called "/Users/peter/Library/Preferences/TweetDeckFast.F9107117265DB7542C1A806C8DB837742CE14C21.1/Local Store/td_26_byteclub.db")
- In the script, replace values with your own

UPDATE: Forgot to mention that this script actually doesn't follow people, it only attempts to add them to your TweetDeck group. Before you run this script, make sure to follow developers either by manually entering them in Twitter or, if you are into doing things in bulk, running the script that's mentioned in the spreadsheet itself.

Enjoy!
