My First Messenger Plus! Live Script – Gravatar Sync
Jun 20th
I wrote my first MP!L script last night. Took me around 2 hours. Downloaded the documentation, created my first hello world script…again, created a test gui window, played around with toasts and what not. I was testing everything using Francis. Quite hilarious.
Well I finished the script at around 12:30am. It was quite amazing. I didn’t think it would be that easy.
The script basically syncs your display pic with your gravatar account. It does this when you sign into WLM. You can also manually evoke the sync option by typing “/gsync” whilst in a chat.
If you have any problems using it you can either comment here or post a reply here
Oh the Vanity!

Facebook Vanity Links have been up for around 30 minutes now. I have my own vanity link

Whilst I’m here I might as well talk about things like OpenID and Gravatar.
OpenID is great. It means I can log into supported sites with my gmail account! Sites like wordpress.com and stackoverflow.com supports OpenID. The idea is great! You also have Facebook connect that does the same thing. I think Amazon also has a similar service also.
The other problem is…avatars. I have soo many accounts on the Internet that supports the use of avatars, I can’t possibly keep track of them all! Well Gravatar comes to the rescue. It allows you to have one account that stores all your avatars!
The only problem is that not many sites support gravatars. I also cannot find a Facebook application that syncs the profile pic with Gravatar. This may be a limitation of the Facebook API…but hopefully it is possible and nobody has bothered to implement it yet (doubt it) in which case I shall take a look into it! Please for the love of god, don’t take my idea 
Anyway, back to study *cough*
