Over the last couple of days, I’ve done my first AppleScript Studio development. Using the code Adam wrote for Read it to Me™ (version 1.0) and Soybo™ as a base, I’ve added most of the features I wanted for version 2.0. Read it to Me™ now has support for creating audio files from unread email…

This (also announced here) is excellent news! I’ve had light contact with all of these guys (even suggested to both parties that they work together) and I think they’ll do a great job on WordPress. I’m looking forward to seeing the results of their hard work.

I’ve gotten 2 visits to my ‘is your mobile browser not being redirected page’ from people using AvantGo 3.2 in the last 24 hours. I check for the string “AvantGo”, so folks using this browser should be being redirected (that sure sounded awkward). Anyway, if you are using AvantGo and are or are not being…

Is it time to upgrade from b2? Tonight I installed my current version of b2 (version 0.61), WordPress (version 0.7) and b2++ (version 0.7) on my laptop to run some speed comparisons. The WordPress install went very smoothly. I notice there are a LOT fewer files littered around than there were in b2. Looks like…

I’ve added posting to Moveable Type blogs from tasks through the MT bookmarklet. This is very similar to the b2 posting functionality. MT already supports passing in content to the bookmarklet via URL, so it wasn’t hard at all once I had the URL structure. It does leave an empty <a href=""></a> tag at the…

Just a couple of links this week: A long article about Mac users. I just found out that my birthday is national Talk Like a Pirate Day. Arrr. From Lockergnome Bytes (yes Jason, that is ‘Lockergnome Bytes’, not ‘Lockerbyte Gnomes’), Things my girlfriend and I have argued about. It’s amusing.
