Refresh your iChat or Adium avatar with new pictures.
DuckCall is a software that enables you to update your iChat or Adium status picture with a photo that is taken every 30 seconds from your iSight camera. This tool requires one of the 1.0 betas to function properly.
Even though DuckCall is quite crude, it provides an effective solution for updating your status picture. The tool comprises a PyObjC wrapper that wraps around a stand-alone binary to fetch the picture from the iSight. Additionally, it incorporates a lot of AppleScript to set the image into iChat and Adium.
While the tool is unnecessarily large due to being written entirely in Python, it provides its maker with their preferred crazy prototyping environment, PyObjC. However, its size does not really impact its functionality.
Overall, DuckCall is quite easy to use, even for novice users. If you are in need of a tool to update your iChat or Adium status picture, this is certainly worth giving a try.
