Without tweetymail or tiwttermail or posterous or any other 3rd party solution.  This solution should have been easier to find.  So thought I’d write it up here.

I run a website for a non-profit, and we use Google Calendar for our events on our website.   We also have a Facebook page and a Twitter account (of course).  I linked our Facebook page to Twitter acct (http://apps.facebook.com/twitter/).  So now all I have to do is to post to Facebook and it automatically gets Tweeted as well.

So I wanted our google calendar to send reminders of events to Facebook and thus Twitter as well.

1) Find your secret m.facebook.com email address

• http://www.facebook.com/mobile/ for personal profiles
• For “Pages”: edit your page and go to the “Mobile” link on the left to get the email address

2) Set up a Gmail Filter to forward reminders to your secret Facebook email address.  This will send an verification code to your FB page.  You will need to get that code off (to verify the forwarding address) and then delete the post.  I don’t know of a better way.

3) Create a filter for Calendar Reminders:

• From: calendar-notification@google.com
• Has the words: [Reminder]
• Doesn’t have: notweet (I added this to have the option to not post some events/reminders)

Now all you need to do is to setup email reminders on your Google Calendar events!

I never could find a good script to check to see if a Macromedia Contribute key had been installed for a user on a machine, and if not then to run the key. So I made one. This one is for Contribute 2, but I think it will work with 3 (if you change the Site folder to 3). And it assumes that the user will only be running one Site. I make the Contribute Icon/Shortcut point to this script.

You will need to change “h:\key.stc” to the location of your key. You will need to save the following script as a .vbs

Set objFSO = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject(“WScript.Network”)
strUserName = objNetwork.UserName
If objFSO.FileExists(“C:\Documents and Settings\” & strUserName & “\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Contribute 2\Sites\Site1\_mm\contribute.xml”) Then
Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject (“WSCript.shell”)
wshshell.run “”"C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Contribute 2\Contribute.exe”"”, 6, True
set wshshell = nothing
Wscript.Quit
Else
Wscript.Echo “Your Contribute Key needs to be installed on this computer. Click OK to begin.”
Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject (“WSCript.shell”)
wshshell.run “h:\key.stc”, 6, True
set wshshell = nothing
End If
