MacDevCenter: Developer Contest in the Works
Derrick Story: "At the end of this month, I'll be posting a detailed article discussing a series of three developer competitions managed by O'Reilly. These competitions will correspond to the next three conferences we're hosting: Emerging Technology, Open Source, and Mac OS X".
"The deadline for submission for the first competition will probably be March 28th. Spread the word on this! We want everyone to know as quickly as possible so they have time to get their entries together. Keep your eyes peeled for the rules to be posted on Friday, February 28 (corporate forces willing)."

Send PDF via Eudora 1.0
Here's a script that uses the new PDF workflow feature introduced in OS X 10.2.4. The script generates a PDF of the document selected for printing, offers a dialog to rename the PDF file, and then attaches it to a new message in Eudora. The script is based largely on code poached from Apple's example.

Americans like to read. Our plastic bags have writing on them explaining how to avoid suffocation; our headache medicine recommends that it should be taken orally; our coffee cups remind us that coffee is hot. If for no one else, please include a "read me" so that American users will not feel lost. :-)Thanks for the laugh!
