Further modified Tweet

I like using Tweet to post Twitters, I like fiddling with Applescript too lately so I decided to change the modified Tweet written by Nils Breunese to add length checking (which is handy since Quicksilver will allow you to put a lot more than the 140 chars allowed)

What I found annoying though was finding out I'd typed say a 141 char message, I get a notification through growl but the text is gone, so I added a couple of lines to copy the text to the clipboard in the event of an error, that way I can try again, cmd-v in the last text and modify.

And for fun I've got it to check whether Adium is running and if so change the status message to the Tweet, I may drop this though as it got me in trouble recently as I had forgot I had done it and sent a Tweet about something I was doing and a contact in Adium sent me an IM asking about it, too much info too many places perhaps.

You can grab the updated script here if you want to play with it further
