I’ve got some stuff to do that will be easier with python, so I’m wondering if it’s possible to package a python script up, and use it from within an AppleScript, without having to have it in the path.

It may not be, since AppleScript’s

do shell script "pwd"

returns "/", indicating it is running at the root directory.

Well, back to pipes and awk/sed.

(Actually, I think I’d just used awk & sed inside the python script).

New Scientist News - Baby comes with brain repair kit for mum

Excellent. Does it fix ‘Mummy Mind’, or the tendency of new mothers to make inane comments?

SimpleBits | Electronic Mail is Not For Everyone

Funny post over at SimpleBits.

But the thing I like is the effect when you hover over the commenter links: the site appears. Cool!

(Now I just need to figure out how to implement this!)

WackGet - A minimalist download manager for Windows based on wget

Hmm. Should be easier to write one of these for Mac.

  • Can download all links in a page that point to files that might be interesting (.zip, .sit, .mp3, .aac, .mov, etc).
  • Can just download all links within the selection.

Actually, writing a Service to do this would be great.
