From the Useful Dept:

Log CVS Checkins via RSS

Very interesting.

Oh yeah, I've been back-to-the-wall on a few projects this week... Hopefully next week I'll have time to actually breath.





From the Quick-Links Dept:

Have Spacesuit Will Travel was a book that really fasinated me. I'm excited.









From the Neat-Snippets Dept:

This function will strip the last character from every item in recordList. Useful for stripping away record delimiters from CallHelix. One demensional lists only please. Returns list where every item has its last character chopped off.

to RemoveLastCharFromEvery(recordList)
	set output to {}
	
	repeat with each in recordList
		set ez to each as string
		set newEach to text 1 through -2 of each 
			-- thanks John Delacour  for this technique
	set end of output to newEach
	end repeat
	return output
	
end postprocessRecords

w00t for this elegant looking (I think) routine. Bah for that fact that I had to write it at all.
