AppleScript Production: Publish from Email to Web in 5 Minutes with Entourage, BBEdit and Internet Explorer
- One of the strongest points of AppleScript is the interaction between various applications necessary to accomplish a task. A relatively simple set of scripts can be created that pass and process data through a complex series of actions in multiple programs in a streamlined fashion. In this production example, the task is to take information from an email in Entourage, process it in BBEdit and then upload to a database through Internet Explorer. This provides one-click publishing of information from email to web - almost.

StimpSoft Products Live On
- In March 2002, software developer StimpSoft announced "StimpSoft™ is being put to bed." Fortunately, for the many fans of StimpSoft products, several developers have agreed to continue development on some of the abandoned programs. Albert, a little application that can launch AppleScript scripts by sending it an email, will now be developed by Dean Davis of Weatherman fame. Thanks go to John Schilling (StimpSoft) and the new developers for keeping these great applications alive!
