iNeedAttention

iNeedAttention

iNeedAttention is an AppleScript that repeatedly logs a user in and out of iChat. When a user logs in, typically the chat client will play a sound to let the user know someone has logged in. When running iNeedAttention, users with you in their buddy list will repeatedly hear that sound. The intention being to get another AIM or Jabber user’s attention. Two ways this script can be used: 1) Logging in and out over the course of a few minutes to get the attention of a particular individual. 2) Setting iNeedAttention to run all night while you’re asleep to annoy people.
