/brb |
| Submitted By Caius Durling (iNemo) |
DescriptionUpon the script command %_brb (See footnote) the contact is sent a brb - xxxxx message. xxxx is replaced by a totally unbelievable reason for going away. Just a little joke script I made to spice up brb messages...I've moved all the reasons and the how-to edit them to my website page -- Link I'm always on the lookout for new brb reasons. Anyone that cares to submit more is very welcome to. Link If you wish to edit the script once you've installed it, that is possible, please goto the /brb page on my website to see how -- Link Footnote: /brb still works for legacy reasons, but I've also included %_brb so you can use it within a name, Caius - %_brb for example Changesv0.7 - 2007-02-04
To see the rest of the changelog please visit my /brb page -- Link CommentsYou can reply to individual comments by clicking the "Reply" link next to each. # by sdh on 04/21/05 at 10:23:57how many different brb - xxxxx messages are there? you should concider adding some more because this doesnt last so long. but dont get me wrong, i like the script.
# by iNemo on 04/22/05 at 15:59:32Theres about 10 at the minute, I am in the process of writing more and adding them in.
# by Ji_ on 04/24/05 at 14:36:43cute, but just barely... great idea, should be more borderline offensive imo. :P
# by ED228 on 05/02/05 at 15:50:24Looks good, but can you put up a screenshot or give an example of one of the away messages, so I (and others) can see what it is like before actually downloading it?
Looks awesome though. # by anna on 05/03/05 at 20:16:43i veto the idea of borderline offensive stuff, (or at least cussing), i don't like to cuss or be really vulgar, and so if something came up like that, it'd be kinda awkward :blush:
# by Casey on 07/24/05 at 16:52:58Anyway to have this run off of a text file with each message on a new line? That way we could put our own messages in?
# by candice on 10/06/05 at 17:45:24This doesn't seem to be working for me. :(
Whenever I try it, all that shows up as my away message is /brb. # by candice on 10/06/05 at 17:47:31Nevermind!
# by iNemo on 10/06/05 at 17:53:25As I'm sure you just discovered, when you set /brb as your away message, it shows up as /brb in the status window (that you see.)
Rest assured though, when someone types and adium replies to them, it does execute the /brb command and reply with a brb - xxxxx reason like it should do :) Caius. # by Félix on 10/06/05 at 22:09:13Nice! :D
5 ducks for this ! :D I think it's ok like that, it doesn't need to be offensive to be funny... # by Marc on 10/16/05 at 21:48:46Its easy to add your own or take out ones you dont like...
right click or control click on the downloaded file, which should be "brb.Adiumscripts" and click "show package contents" then open the folder "Contents" then the folder "Resources" the file inside "brb.scpt" will open with the script editor application and if you add messages following the same format and then click compile and re-add it to adium you will have made all the desired changes # by MacvashX on 11/05/05 at 14:20:01Hey That's great! ^^
I have a little problem.... I already had the old version, I donwloaded the new one but I don't see anything more, The same brb message always appear T_T How to change it? (I'm not sure that changig the script by myself is a good idea @_@) Thanks ^^ # by mooneyj on 11/07/05 at 21:12:05This script is freaking awesome. I need more responses, but am tooooo lazy to write them myself (also not funny enough). Please satisfy my need for random excuses.
# by Eddy on 11/09/05 at 10:10:01Hi, I've a done a quick translation of your script in french, you can get it here
# by Eddy on 11/09/05 at 10:11:07huhu, sorry i forgot the url : http://edouard.roger.free.fr/fichiers...scripts.zip
# by wakeskateal on 11/13/05 at 19:17:28Is there any way someone can make a script where you go something like /brb{ill be back in a minute} and then have your away message be that which is displayed in the {}. Making it quick to put on an away message without having to go to menu and so forth. If someone could pull that off that would be amazing.
# by epl18 on 11/17/05 at 06:52:15If you just go to status--> custom... it lets you. I think that would be faster than a script
# by Diatribe on 11/19/05 at 10:22:58Though it doesn't yet let you choose custom status messages it does set your status... try my script: http://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a...tra_id=2087
Custom aways are something I am thinking about. # by Diatribe on 11/28/05 at 17:04:24A new version that lets you set a custom away has been uploaded and should be approved shortly. http://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a...tra_id=2087
For now it is only custom aways and availables, I might add custom brb messages but I think custom aways should suffice. # by Diatribe on 11/28/05 at 17:07:36Working link: http://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a...tra_id=2087
BTW, iNemo I have responded to your mail. :) # by lyv23 on 01/26/06 at 20:32:19Mine is all in french and i can't fix it.
Downloaded french to see what was like after LOVING the english one. PS i speak almost NO french.. # by iNemo on 01/27/06 at 10:48:15I didn't do the french translation, but the person that did obviously left the version number/title the same so adium doesn't see it as an upgrade.
Delete the brb script from ~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/Scripts/ and then download/install the english one (from the top of this page) again. # by macluvjay on 02/12/06 at 23:09:28I have "/brb" set as one of my away messages. When I set my universal away message to "/brb", I have reports from friends that the message changes every minute or so causing HUGE gaps of random sayings between me going away and coming back to continue a convo. Is there a way to change how often the message is changed, or is my setup flawed?
# by iNemo on 02/13/06 at 06:11:15I'm not quite sure what you mean, think I understand though. My script does nothing on its own. All it does is return a phrase when adium calls it. Sounds like adium is calling it too much?
# by SpringKS on 01/02/07 at 02:15:24I'm having the same problem, I think. The /brb message works great for the contact lists. But it keeps posting new away messages every 30 sec. in the conversation window of the person I've been chatting with (GTalk).
Other than that little problem, I think it's great! # by simplebeep on 03/27/06 at 20:05:14I LOVE IT SO MUCH!
I'll try to think of more to submit to help. THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS! -Taldar # by saucey on 07/05/06 at 17:07:20Love the script. Very funny.
Not picking, just pointing out... "Busy planing how to take over the world" should be "Busy planning how to take over the world" # by PishtheFish on 09/09/06 at 21:12:54Very funny script; I love it! Just one thing...
"Funny you should write me just now, I just /happen/ to on my way out." It should be: "Funny you should write me just now, I just /happen/ to be on my way out." But I love it! # by BlackDalek on 09/20/06 at 21:50:27My personal brb message, "Just fallen through a crack in the space/time continuum. Leave me a message and I'll get back to you last week"
Feel free to use it if you wish. Or any variation thereof. # by drbobguy on 11/01/06 at 02:20:21Some ones that a friend and I added, some are probably too obscene for many:

# by amorelli on 11/27/06 at 00:31:10make sure the format of the messages is correct.
{¬ "[first message]", ¬ "[second message]", ¬ . . . "[(n-1)th message]", ¬ "[nth message]"} # by slightdiffusion on 12/20/06 at 03:59:57when i set up my away message with "/brb" all that is responding is the standard "be right back"
# by scott_karana on 01/05/07 at 01:56:24Do you mind fixing the spelling error I found?
"It's fear of water" should be "Its". # by edsq on 01/12/07 at 21:13:02um......... how come i cant open AdiumScripts in Script Editor?
bye the way, you type /brb in the same place you type text. # by edsq on 01/12/07 at 22:01:14no.... let me change that. HOW DO I MAKE MY APPLESCRIPT WORK IN ADIUM????????
# by edsq on 01/13/07 at 11:52:38ive got a brb message:
"Must have Brains!", ¬ i dont think its very good, but tell me if you like it. # by drbobguy on 02/05/07 at 02:59:04I've got a message, what do you guys think?
"brb - edsq is a douchebag.", ¬ # by BlackandWhitePenguin on 02/17/07 at 03:03:28Congratulations on #1 on the whole site! This is WAY better then Renkoo (totally overrated).
# by iNemo on 02/17/07 at 08:31:23Planned for v1.0 is an easier way to add custom brb reasons, a way to have explicit reasons filtered out & some new reasons hopefully!
Also a proper part of my website for it. # by adium on 03/18/07 at 19:57:49i think u should make them change slower, i use use it as my away mesage, and it changes to fast, i think (if u can) u should slow it down
# by iNemo on 03/18/07 at 20:25:04Adium chooses the time that it changes, I just return a reason everytime adium calls my script. I think adium calls it every minute when its used in an away message or a name.
# by lightxs on 03/31/07 at 20:18:54Hi,
I've downloaded like, a million Adium Scripts, but this one's my favourite!! # by HuoMaKe on 04/01/07 at 04:27:28I posted an Xtra based off of this called RandomBashQuote, it takes quotes from bash.org (after I put them in the code) and disblays them on command. Find it here: http://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a...tra_id=4046
Anyone willing to spend some time finding and formatting quotes would be much appreciated :) download the code and the format is essentially the same as /brb. Be sure to comment on the RBQ page with your code! # by tasmanian_devil on 05/18/07 at 21:00:59Um dude could u like make some of them more appropriate, I was talking to my dad and he saw the pin holes in the condum one and he was like wtf? so yeah.. could u? ty
^^ Some Random Person # by iNemo on 05/19/07 at 09:53:19One of the features of V1 will be the ability to edit the reasons through a GUI, which includes enabling/disabling reasons. Hopefully be released sometime during late summer (Work permitting!)
# by Jecmu on 06/12/07 at 12:17:23"brb - town is overrun by zombies"
"brb - I have rewind my casettes" "brb - I'm with the force" # by spartin92 on 06/21/07 at 22:25:38in #39 "Practising" should be "practicing"
This is a great script besides that :-D # by Merlish on 07/26/07 at 23:02:23Great xTra! :) By far the best on here.
Here are a few sugeestions: "I misplaced my pants again.", ¬ "I have to go lick the wet-paint benches in the park", ¬ "Mistook battery acid for orange juice again.", ¬ "Didn't know my sister was that flammable", ¬ "My pet canaries are plotting revolution again.", ¬ "The glue stopped working", ¬ "She broke her chains.", ¬ "My roadside bomb actually worked.", ¬ "The walls are melting.", ¬ "The corpse is rotting..", ¬ # by jjessica147 on 01/08/08 at 12:20:02Just to let you know, You spelled "chihuahua" wrong in "My Chiwawa has broken free and is eating kitchen knives" I know alot of people spell it chiwawa, but i was just wondering if you knew of this.
# by iNemo on 01/08/08 at 12:41:47That one was actually added when brb was just a personal script for myself. A private joke between me and a couple of friends is to call chihuahua's chowchows, and when I cleaned the script up to release it I just changed it to Chiwawa without thinking to check the spelling of it. I shall update it to the correct spelling for v1.
# by jjessica147 on 01/08/08 at 12:22:35Oh and BTW, are these all meant for MEN???? Because i tested one out on my friend, and it said "brushing teeth, chick was a dude".........okay well i am a girl, and im not lesbian.....and i was supposedly making out with a chick??? wtf like now she thinks im lesbian lol. Pleaaaaase can you make like a BRB for girls and a BRB for men!!?!!!?
# by imarawkid on 02/10/08 at 21:17:47they are too nerdy, such as my brain is running across the road, who gives a crap,
