As previously Tweeted(?) by me TweetMyPC verision 3 is under development and will be released soon.

I thought it will be a good idea to post the change log here for feedback and suggestions. I must thank Stefan for his huge interest in TweetMyPC. The entire credit goes to him for helping me.

You can now choose any file you want for the custom-command (for example *.exe,*.bat,*.mp3,*.vbs,*.pps,…)
TweetMyPC is now faster and better
We made changes to overcome the problem of “Whoops. You already said that… please post a new tweet” (see http://help.twitter.com/forums/10713/entries/68809)
If you want to send the same command a more than once in a short time period, just add ## and a random text behind it. Example: “ip ##ubiuhgiu ohzf“
New commands
- ping - to know whether TweetMyPC is running or not
- message [your message text without brackets] – to show a custom message at the pc-screen
- powerstate -tweets the battery-state (Charging or not and if power-cable is plugged in)
- abortshutdown - stops a shutdown
- startscr - starts the screen-saver (windows 2000/XP)
- stopscr - stops a screen-saver
- darkscreen - Turns off the monitor
- Wallpaper [url] – You can change the wallpaper by tweeting this command along with the wallpaper url. You will not miss those cool wallpapers you accidentally come across while browsing somewhere else .
Changed/fixed commands:
- ip - now answers the Network’s internal and the external ip address
- screenshot - now makes a screenshot of all Displays together instead of just the first Screen
TweetMypPC now works on Windows XP, Server 2003/2008, Vista and Windows 7.
Added support for x64 (64-bit) environments
You don’t need Admin privileges to run TweetMyPC
Simplified the user interface
You now can see the status of TweetMyPC if you move your mouse cursor over the notify-icon in the Taskbar.
Fixed few bugs
