Brent Simmons’ Macintosh scripting weblog.
Monday, May 27, 2002
Brent Simmons here again. Unfortunately, due to time issues and a change in circumstances, Rob Jorgensen will not take over mac.scripting.com as planned. So this website now goes into indefinite hibernation. I suggest visiting these fine Macintosh scripting sites: MacScripter.net and AppleScript Info.

Brent Simmons here. Sorry for the lack of posts lately. It’s a time issue—there’s not enough time to run this weblog plus ranchero.com and inessential.com and do all the other things I do.So this weblog will be turned over to Rob Jorgensen, who’s been doing, and will continue to do, a great job at AppleScript Info.
First we’ll have to transition the weblog over to his copy of Radio. I’m not sure how we’ll do that yet, but we’ll figure it out.
Anyway—it’s been a pleasure running this weblog, and I’ve appreciated all the links and nice words. I expect Rob will take it to the next level, and I look forward to being a reader of mac.scripting.com.

Charles Eicher: Free Spam Filtering for Mac OS X: How to do it. “Spam is reaching unbearable levels and people are desperate for a solution. MacOS X includes traditional Unix mail handling software that is perfect for filtering spam, it’s already installed and merely needs to be configured and activated. Mail.app was recently upgraded to permit access to Unix internal mailboxes, now we can bring the power of Unix mail processing and filtering to this standard Mac application.”

Cocoa Browser v0.3 is a browser for the Cocoa API reference docs. I use it and recommend it. It’s open source, so it’s also useful as sample code.

A List Apart: Fixing Your Site with the Right Doctype. “You’ve written valid XHTML and CSS. You’ve used the W3C standard Document Object Model (DOM) to manipulate dynamic page elements. Yet, in browsers designed to support these very standards, your site is failing. A faulty DOCTYPE is likely to blame.”

The Little Page of Beta AppleScripts updates stringLib, tableLib, and strftimeLib. AWPS (Applescript Web Publishing System) reaches v0.4. (Via AppleScript Info.)
