If you're running the latest v3.20a code then this would be preferred to the replace/revert_text calls above:
in ctrl/text.ini, add:
 NodeActivityCustom = is somewhere you're not

If the node action is actually dynamic (can be different text depending on scenarios, e.g. multiple different custom actions), then this would be preferred:
  bbs.replace_text("NodeActionCustom", "is somewhere you're not");

The revert_text() call isn't strictly needed.
