TweetMyPC V3.0 – What’s new?
January 4th, 2010
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
We would like to hear your suggestions and comments. Do you have any cool commands to be added? Let us know!
Don’t forget to give us your feedback here.

Kickass! x64 support is what I’ve been waiting for! I’ve wanted to use this program since I first heard of it, but this was the only thing stopping me.
Update:
I also added a check for program-update and following commands:
*volmute – to mute the main speaker
*vomunmute – to unmute the main speaker
*volinc – to increase the volume of the main speaker
*voldec – to decrease the volume of the main speaker
*wallpaper [URL] – download a picture, converts it to bmp and the sets it as background
*url [URL] – opens the URL in the standard-webbrowser
@ all: please fill in this online-form so we can make TweetMyPC even better!: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dEZVSGpHNEJMUkFmTmRCd0ZTaG92bnc6MA
Thank you for this great program!!!! i can’t wait till it comes out!!! if it did can someone reply to me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The TweetMyPC might have the option of be hidden when it is executing, and the icon does not appear in the clock, in order that the children do not discover the program.
Anderson: thanks for this great idea! We will implement it in our next ReleaseVersion 4 planned to be published in 3 months.
@Tyler
PS: version 3 has been released yesterday. see http://tweetmypc.codeplex.com
BasisBit: Thanks! A thing that would be good also, if was possible the control of more than 1 computer using the same Twittter, example: House and Work.
It would be so, example: ‘Restart ** House’ or ‘Shutdown ** Work’.
Version 3 tested and approved.
Thanks Anderson. We will definitely look into this suggestion as well. Did you try the new version? What do you think?
@Shoban
I am using the version 3 in Windows XP and 7, and up to now it is perfect, I had not any bug.
He is quicker, and now the Screenshot is working perfectly.
I when I use, update the Twitter for the cellular one, and so I do all the commands through him. Very Good!
Thanks for your feedback Anderson
