I’ve recently revised the Pennyworth website to make it more useful and understandable to new users. I’d like to invite any readers out there to give it a look and let me know if I’ve succeeded in this endeavor or if more work is necessary. Any comments or suggestions that you may have will be greatly appreciated.

Pennyworth 1.7 is now available for download.
This update fixes a variety of bugs, including some issues with the Bluetooth sensor.
Prerequisites
MacOS X 10.5 “Leopard”
Growl (Recommended): Pennyworth can be used without the Growl notification system by viewing the current predictions, but this occupies precious screen real estate and you attention. In order to receive visual notifications of updated predictions, I recommend that you install and configure the Growl notification system before running Pennyworth.
Source
There is not a source distribution available yet, but if you’d like the source code, it is available via Subversion at
http://context-macosx.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Tools/Applications
The source requires Xcode 3 to build.
Bugs, suggestions, or comments?
Please post any feedback in the comments below or send it to pennyworth@aetherial.net. This is early release software, so there will be bugs, and the application will only improve when problems are identified and submitted.

I just posted a few new sensors to Pennyworth’s online script repository.
TextWrangler.scpt is an update to the current script that improves reliability of detecting the types of open TextWrangler documents. Credit for this update goes to Ricky Buchanan of ATMac.org.
GMail.scpt is a script intended for end users to customize in order to distinguish between different instances of GMail (home vs. work). The GMail script does not come customized out of the box, so you’ll need to follow the example in the code to enable it to look for your own instances.
Geography.scpt is a script that uses IP-based geolocation to determine where your computer is based upon IP. It’s based upon MaxMind’s GeoLite City database. Accuracy figures on a per-country basis are available here.
Please give these a spin and let me know how well they work out. You can download and install these from within Pennyworth by selecting AppleScript Manager from the menu within the Pennyworth status icon.

I ran across Steven Frank’s recommendations for submitting bug reports a couple of days ago.
