This page contains links to various scripts and other add-ons I've developed for ConnectedText.
What's New? (updated October 21, 2007)
I've removed the Gabbly chat widget; it was an interesting experiment, but not very darn useful.
Massive Disclaimer!
I am not a Python guru by any stretch of the imagination. I'm learning. My focus here is to provide a jumping-off point for other ConnectedText users with a hankering to write Python code; if you have any suggestions as to how to improve the scripts here please send them my way. I'm grateful for any tips.
As I add new scripts, I'll most likely comment on them in my blog, which is also a good place for feedback.

Ruby Scripts
Considering Ruby as your scripting language of choice for ConnectedText? There is a typo in the default "Welcome" ConnectedText project documentation regarding the URL for ActiveScriptRuby...the correct address is http://arton.hp.infoseek.co.jp/. I had some earlier problems with the latest version, but I suspect that may be due to accidentally installing "regular" Ruby first. My issues aside, ActiveScriptRuby 1.8.5.1 should work for you!
- Custom RSS Feed Parsing - Similar to the Python script above
- Database Access - Another conversion of the Python script above
