Mass add keywords to iPhoto with Launchbar

I was playing with iPhoto this morning and decided that, really, it would be better to properly tag my photos and use smart collections, rather than have them in unwieldy folders which clutter up the left sidebar, and which I can’t delete without losing the associated classifications. (If I don’t keep a folder called “Cats” [...]

Launchbar, Circus Ponies, lists and blobs

I’m very fond of Circus Ponies Notebook. All right, this is something of an understatement; I am excessively fond of Circus Ponies Notebook, and use it for almost all of my project work.

Simplenote Yojimbo Sync v0.31

You might wish to have it run on startup if you are [...]

From p76 of the Applescript Language Guide: Stay-open script applications can [...]

Simplenote Yojimbo Sync v0.2

I’ve produced a new version of SNYS, 0.2, with the following changes: Version checking at startup, with the option to download now or later, or skip a version. Logging information to ~/Library/Logs/Simplenote Yojimbo Sync.log, which is the primary purpose of this version, to get some more debugging information for the people for whom it doesn’t [...]

The Original IBM ThinkPad « A Continuous Lean.

Being the son of a current IBMer I have had many of these pads and grew up jotting down all kinds of memos on them *old computer punch-cards as well. via The Original IBM ThinkPad « A Continuous Lean..

Simplenote Yojimbo Sync v0.11

This is the first public version of my syncing script between Simplenote and Yojimbo.
