blink(1) scripts

Some scripts I've written to control my blink(1) http://thingm.com/products/blink-1/

blink1control needs to be running for the scripts to work and the API server needs to be turned on.
these scripts only work on OSX

blink-gmail.sh

Checks whether there are any unread messages in your gmail inbox. Username and password are specified in ~/gmail.props

I put this in my crontab file...

The properties are:

username
password

blink-calendar.sh

Checks your calendar to see whether you should be somewhere. It uses icalBuddy http://hasseg.orgicalBuddy/icalBuddy/

icalBuddy can be installed using homebrew brew install ical-buddy

You have to start it from a terminal window due to calendar's privacy settings. I just type nohup blink-calendar.sh & and then close the terminal window.

blink-codeship.sh

Blinks red if my CI build on http://codeship.io is broken, green otherwise...

flash.applescript

Flashes the colour specified 3 times. Valid colours are:

red
blue
yellow
white
purple

so basically any pattern in blink-control that matches {colour} flashes

to run it: osascript flash.applescript {colour}

if no colour is specifed, it flashes red.

perl

The following are the commands to install the perl dependencies used by these scripts:
