There seems to be some sort of a layering bug with Interface Builder - I notice it sometimes in development builds of iTunesRater:

Wow. A month since I first posted about our new house. And the bathroom isn’t yet done. Hopefully we’ll finish the shower tonight, and then I’ll actually be able to have my morning shower tomorrow. I cannot cope without it. This weekend we’re planning to lay floorboards in the kitchen/study. At the moment it is bare joists, with dirt underneath. The boards are being delivered tomorrow morning.
iTunesRater 0.6 has been released. Saving prefs works a bit better now, but the only way to change the maxRate and minRate variables is through: defaults write iTunesRater maxRate <value>
AutoRating is working, and the program now remembers the last state for the AutoRater.
New feature is the inclusion of a preview of how the rating will look in iTunes, ie the number of stars. iTunesRater0.6.zip (Note, this URL is broken for the time being, until I get around to uploading it to a site that can handle zip files, not just 3 types of image file…)
While trying to bugfix a couple of issues in iTunesRater tonight, I found that the script stopped working altogether. I narrowed it down to a section of the code where I was asking the Finder to do something, and it was just freezing. I thought that maybe the latest security update had done something, but changing users proved that otherwise. It was something with my setup. I found it probably had to do with having a device mounted (the memory card in my Palm Zire), but having removed the device without unmounting it. The Finder had almost crashed, and wouldn’t respond to any AppleScript commands. Incidentally, I suspect that AppleScript is smart enough to not actually send any message (even an empty one) to an application when there is no command (ie, just a tell application/end tell clause with nothing between it).
I have the following code to display my most popular posts in the sidebar: {popularposts} {if $pposts != ''} <h2>Most Popular Posts</h2> <ul> {foreach from=$pposts key=key item=hits} <li><nobr><a href="{get_permalink id=$hits.postID}" title="{$hits.title}">{$hits.title|truncate:25:"..."}</a>: {$key}</nobr></li> {/foreach} </ul> {/if} However, it doesn’t work: the links are all to the least recent of my recent posts the last post on the page. I’ll have to fix this. (Note: a fix is in the comments).
