Sometimes the old ideas.... come back The Linkback Project From the About Linkback page:
The LinkBack Framework is an open framework that brings editable objects to Mac OS X. Using LinkBack-enabled applications, users can paste content create in other applications into a document and later edit or update the content from the original application. Does anybody else think this feels like Publish and Subscribe? |

Radio: Category Statistics Script Tonight I was cleaning up my weblog's categories, and I wanted to know what entries were in each of my categories. Now, the Radio Categories System Page gives you a count, but I wanted to know more - mainly, I wanted to view to the text (and other data) easily. The neat thing about Radio is that all the processing happens on your desktop machine: when you make a blog entry, files are rendered, and those files are uploaded to a server somewhere on the cloud. In one of Radio/Frontier's former lives, it was a scripting system for the Macintosh.... Indeed, I still refer to Matt Neuburg's Frontier: The Definitive Guide when I need help with Usertalk (which is often anymore - I'm quite rusty.) ... Since Radio used to be a scripting system, I could write a simple script (about 2 dozen lines) to query the local object database, to pull together my sorted-by-category statistics. It's fast too - on my 400Mhz G4, with 1000+ blog entries, the script probably took less than 2-3 seconds. I've made this script available to the general public, in hopes that it might be useful to others. Over the past week or so, I had been Jones-ing to do some Usertalk programming, and now I finally had the opportunity to write some. Ah, the memories (Hmm.. I wonder what I did with my old root files...) |
