4 December 2008 @ 19:20Applescript File Downloader

Script EditorHere is a little Applescript that I threw together for the sole purpose of scheduling downloads of large files for times when it doesn’t matter if it slows my internet to a crawl (e.g. at night while I’m sleeping). The cool thing about this script is that you can create an iCal even that has [...]

21 November 2008 @ 22:20Preventing important files from being deleted

21 April 2008 @ 10:50Recording MP3 streams with Applescript

The other day when Ralph Bakshi was scheduled to be interviewed on WNYC, it prompted me to try to find a way to record the MP3 stream while I was away.

21 April 2008 @ 6:43Camino no longer accepts the Applescript ‘get URL’

I just noticed this today when one of my scripts was broken. Apparently from Camino 1.5 to 1.6 the open URL and the get URL commands were dropped and replaced by open location.

25 July 2007 @ 11:33Say it ain’t so!

You know the annoying “You’ve got mail!” that AOL says when, of course, you’ve (you, not me) got mail? I was setting up Mail.app on a user’s new laptop one day, when she asked me if it would say “You’ve got mail!” when she gets new mail. Ugh. I told her no, but that I [...]

12 January 2007 @ 16:59AppleScript and video transcoding

I know there are solutions out there for video transcoding such as the awesome ffmpegX, but I wanted to make my own solution. I drop my source video onto this droplet, and with just a few button clicks, I can convert almost any video to an mpeg2 that is DVD compliant. What I did here [...]
