(AppleScript) Application Sleeper

Thu, 14 May 2009 01:36:13 GMT

When I'm watching a movie on my computer, I get tired of Twitterrific popping up and obscuring my view. And I got really tired of quitting the app and forgetting to open it up again. So I wrote this little script that quits the app for me and opens it automatically some time later. This isn't perfect; the script will be running the whole time in between quit and relaunch, but without getting into launchd or atrun, this works just fine.

(JavaScript) Javascript Footnote Creator

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 19:11:59 GMT

Finds footnotes and adds them to a list. Just put "footnote" into the class of an element, and it'll automatically pull it out of context, replace it with a reference link, put the footnote into the list with id 'notes', and include a backreference so that your readers don't get lost. Embedded markup and nested footnotes work fine. Everything has CSS classes, so you can style it to your heart's content. Requires Prototype.
