Scripting iChat

The other day Lawrence asked me if I used something to randomly pick my instant messenger away messages. I don't, but I got me to thinking of how you could use AppleScript to do that. Then I started thinking about what else you could do with AppleScript and iChat. I currently have iChat set up to save my custom messages, but sometimes I want to put something temporary in there. So I wrote an AppleScript application to do that. You can download it here (it only works with iChat):
