Well, here it goes...

Watching ABC News, and reading around the Net to see what's happening. Have to decide when to just go to bed, or stay up forever watching.

Philly Area AppleScript User Group

Well, I just did a quick check, and it seems that the Philadelphia Area AppleScript User's Group is one of the few in existence. I did a search on Google, and the only other one I came up with was the Boston Apple Script User Group. It sounds like it will be interesting, and there are quite a few good scripters I recognize from various mailing lists.

Dihydrogen Monoxide

I just read a very important warning about a dangerous substance lurking in our water supply at http://www.matthewmiller.net/dihydrogen_monoxide.html

Oh, btw, for those of you who don't know, this is supposed to be funny. Keep in mind that "di" means 2, "mono" means 1, and the chemical symbols for hydrogen and oxygen are H and O, respectively. :-)

WebSearches Script for Big Cat

I just finished my first (of what I'm sure will be many) script for the freeware Big Cat contextual menu plugin. Big Cat allows you to write scripts to handle files or highlighted text in any application that supports system-wide contextual menus.

WebSearches allows you to search for your highlighted text on one of several web sites. The part I love the most, though, is that the user can ADD their own searches to it, simply by running a search on the site they want and looking at the URL of the results page. Most searches use the GET method, and thus you can see the whole search right in the URL. Once you have that, you can add your search to WebSearches' list. Check it out.
