A lot of people have asked me lately about mounting file servers based on certain user criteria. Usually this is based on whether or not a user is a member of certain user groups (faculty, graphics design, engineering…). This is actually a pretty easy task for a quick AppleScript and I’m going to present a [...]
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a technophile. I love technology for technology’s sake. Cool gadgets are my thing. Applications are very definitely gadgets and the new Evernote beta is one of the coolest that I’ve seen in a while. Why is it cool? Let me give you 10 reasons…
Snapshot Aperture Current version: 02 Built on: Aperture 2.1 This AppleScript allows you to select a number of Aperture Projects to export complete with master images. If a selected Project does not have all of its images online, the script will not export it and will tell you about it once it is done exporting [...]

Make Keywords Real Current version: 03 Built on: Aperture 2.0.1 / Mac OS X 10.5.2 This AppleScript operates on the current selection. This is an update to the previous update and should work properly now. This AppleScript will make Aperture’s virtual keywords real. “Huh?” If you make hierarchal keywords in Aperture (you are, aren’t you), [...]
New AppleScript Features – Yay – sort of John Larson posted some quick sample AppleScripts to his site. While there, you should also probably just subscribe to his blog to make sure you get any updates. I can’t get reveal to work for me, but I dig duplicate. Now I can make my own Albums [...]
Time Machine is one of the premiere features of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). It allows anyone to back up their entire Mac easily and without muss or fuss – but what does it really back up? My analysis says ‘not quite everything.’
Updated script Requires Aperture 2 Probably requires Mac OS X 10.5.2 One of the many cool new features of Aperture 2 is support for DNG masters from just about any camera. My venerable old Canon PowerShot S50 has never been supported by Mac OS X’s RAW engine, but now I can use the images in [...]
