More On StuffIt

From what I have read, if you are having problems with StuffIt in Tiger then re-installing it seems to remedy the difficulties. As for the scripts here at the site, all of which are currently StuffIt archives, I have plans to convert all of them to zip archives sometime within the near future.

I had to reinstall Stuffit to get it to work. But even then I had a problem getting the app to launch by double-clicking a file. Presumably there will be an update forthcoming. Wait. Just spotted this. Is there a tiff brewing? Perhaps we're supposed to move to zip. Hmmm.

Basic Tutorial on Scripting Spotlight With iTunes

I have just posted Spotlight Scripting for iTunes which explains some of the basic things you can do with AppleScript, Spotlight searches, and iTunes. It explains how to get meta-data for audio files and how to create scripts that use iTunes tag data for meta-data searches with Spotlight.

Apple - Support - Downloads - Bonjour for Windows
Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks. Bonjour uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically discover each other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers.

As far as I know Apple has one other piece of software for Windows: iTunes. It's pretty obvious what the motivation was there: iPods and the iTunes store. So what's with this? I'm guessing that they are laying the foundation for an as yet unannounced consumer product.

How to securely control another Mac over the internet

I decided to put together his how-to after setting this up for my dad, and figuring there are probably a number of others out there who serve as the de facto tech support person for friends and family in remote locations. The...

News: Tiger purrs for developers and IT

Tiger — Mac OS X 10.4 — marks a turning point in the evolution of the Mac platform. The numerous enhancements to Mac OS X 10.4 and Mac OS X Server 10.4 are clearly aimed at the broad base of IT and professional users, rather than niches with spillover into offices and datacenters. This is the enterprise OS that Apple’s IT customers and developers thought they’d get when Xserve G5 shipped.

What Podcasters Can Teach Public Radio

It’s 10:30 PM here in Australia and I’m far too excited to go to sleep right now, even though I should be in bed.
I had a great meeting with Greg and Karen from the Shared Memories Podcast. They were one of the many podcasters who responded to my meetup request.
I love the idea that they’re doing for their podcast. Their passion is helping people put their life story on tape or on paper or on DVD. Through their Shared Memories web site, they’re helping enable people document the history of their family. It reminds me of when I was a newspaper reporter in Sechelt and we tried to help document the disappearing Sechelt language.
If people like Greg and Karen are the future of radio, we're all going to be very lucky listeners indeed.
Their latest podcast includes an interview with a fellow who comes from nine generations of the military. It’s a great interview.
The more I travel around the world consulting with public broadcasters, the more I realize that Greg and Karen are truly on the forefront of a new generation of radio. Personal. Risk-taking. Surprising. Everything that radio strives to be, but somehow misses.
And the more I meet people like Chris from Simulacrum (the funniest freakin’ podcast on the planet!!) and Koan Bremner, the more I realize that folks like this have much to teach radio.
They are re-inventing our medium and breaking all the rules because they don’t know what “the rules” are! As a result, they’re producing incredibly compelling radio.
Radio will never, ever, be the same. It’s great.
