The Return of Applescripts

I've been sat here for a few hours watching Heroes, which is as wicked a show as my mate Aaron told me and (re) writing scripts to do things on my Macbook that I had setup before the Hard disk died and took everything with it.

I guess because it wasn't that long ago that I did it the first time I found it pretty easy this time, with the help of a little bit of Google of course to remind of some syntax and get examples, so nothing written from scratch but mostly hacked about with.

The main thing I wanted to do was get an easy workflow for getting links in blog posts, which is now done:

Highlight in Ecto -> QS trigger to Google search in Firefox -> select best link and load -> QS to create HREF in ecto, one little kink to sort out but I need to learn more about process checking.

Time to relax and enjoy more Heroes now though
