I’ve previously posted on how to to make Campfire less intrusive by using Growl but this one is even more fun. It takes whatever message in the room and speaks it for you using your default OS X voice.

@campfire_pass = 'enter_your_own_password'
@campfire_user = 'your@email.here'
@campfire_room = 'Main Room Or Whatever Name Room You Want'

require 'rubygems'
require 'tinder'

campfire = Tinder::Campfire.new 'standoutjobs'
campfire.login @campfire_user, @campfire_pass

campfire.find_room_by_name(@campfire_room).listen do |m|
  system("say \"#{m[:person]} says #{m[:message]}\"")
end

Season accordingly and have fun with it.
