• 1.22.08 Multi-bookmarks in Flock (or Firefox) posted in Geekery

  I’ve switched to Flock as my primary browser. Yes, I still load Safari when I miss the speed and beauty, but there are a few plugins I’ve come to depend on that happen to be compatible with Flock. Like Zotero, for example. It’s amazingly well developed for a beta. And having all of my TUAW compatriots displayed in a twitter sidebar prevents me from getting the overload that comes every time I load Twitterific. But I’ve had to find solutions for a couple of issues, one of which I thought I’d share. Safari allows you to set “auto-click” on folders of bookmarks, so that when you click the folder in your toolbar, it loads all of the contained items in tabs. I wanted similar functionality in Flock/Firefox…

• 11.7.07 Safari (my new crush) posted in Web Design, Geekery

  Besides being enamored with all things Leopard, I’ve developed an intense and burning love for Safari. With a couple of exceptional plugins, it’s become my general web browser of choice. The powerhouse that is Firefox+addons may still be hard to leave behind for webdev, but for beauty, ease of use and overall integration (and awesome applescripting), Safari is definitely my new top choice…

• 11.2.07 mailBlast, Mobile Blasting posted in Geekery

  Granted, it’s not nearly the ideal solution to a mobile MoodBlast, but this script will allow you to send an email from anywhere and blast from your home computer. You can use whatever rules you like to trigger it and to make it secure. Once called, the script checks the subject to see if it begins with “blast”. If it does, it will send the remainder of the string to MoodBlast…

• 11.1.07 MY Favorite Leopard Feature posted in Geekery

  I would just like to take a moment to point out a new feature in Leopard that hasn’t gotten as much hype as a keyboard nerd like me would like. Backstory: I own 2 diNovo Edge bluetooth keyboards (and a Revolution MX mouse to go with each). I’d been relying on a location switcher that would detect the presence of the keyboard and then run an Applescript to switch the modifier keys (flip Option and Command) for the PC keyboard layout. The Applescripts relied on Universal Access behaviors to manually pull down the menus. Not elegant, but way better than doing it by hand. So anyway…

• 10.22.07 An iTunes Monitor for MoodBlast posted in Geekery

  A better solution: Proxi from Griffin has a built in iTunes monitor with lots of other fun stuff. You can just trigger a basic applescript on track change that sends “^s Rocking out to !itune”, replacing ^s with whatever services it should blast to. If you run “if player state is playing” […]

• 10.21.07 MoodBlast with Applescript Goodness posted in Geekery

  MoodBlast now has Applescript support. That means you can use all of its functionality from any program that supports Applescript. If you have a program to monitor track changes in iTunes, you can use that as well. And you can blast from Quicksilver with this simple action…

• 10.19.07 Reverse Shortened URLs with Quicksilver posted in Geekery

  This is a quickie I created whilst working on something else. It allows you to copy a shortened url (urltea, tinyurl, etc.) and hit a key combo to display it’s destination URL in large type. It could be modified to do a few other things such copying back to the clipboard and could take input in ways other than the clipboard. It’s essentially just a shell command and doesn’t even have to use applescript or quicksilver. Anyway…

• 10.18.07 MoodBlast 2.49.6 (and a little blogging) posted in Geekery

  Alright, 2.49.6 is out without a lot of fanfare. New interface, new search and replace algorithms, etc. I’ve promised myself that I will blog about something besides MoodBlast before I completely lose the ability to do so…

• 8.22.07 MoodBlast 2.0 on the Horizon posted in General

  For anyone keeping track, there’s a super-cool new version of MoodBlast on the horizon. A revamped interface and a slew of new features (many from user requests). It’s basically a whole new program, with all of the original functionality. Here’s just a taste…

• 8.11.07 One More Mood Swing posted in Geekery

  If you’re digging MoodSwing, grab this version. It adds more dependability, and iTunes support and current weather ability. Use the instructions in this entry, but you can now use !itune to insert the currently playing iTunes track. And, modified from a Colloquy script, you can type an exclamation point followed by your 5 digit zip code to insert the current weather for your area. So !55987 will come out in the format “Right now in Winona: Sunny and 76°, 56% humidity.”
