applescript goodness… sorda :)

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Had to do a bit of applescripting lately for a show. Basically wanted a movie to pop up as soon as gallery people turned on my computer. I used QTplayer Pro and the following script.

Stick this in login items and you have a video playing automatically. Throw some scheduling stuff in there and gallery people never have to touch the computer. And that’s the way we want it!

For someone who still has issues with definite and indefinite articles in English this WAS a real undertaking :) <– read: bad applescript joke.

css stuff from my classes

Here’s a link to class I taught last year on CSS+HTML.

I am not particularly in love with the layout part of the CSS. It’s not intuitive and the whole “absolute” and “relative” business is a complete mess… but, we live in an imperfect world and often have to cope with lotsa questionable tech (like DVD format, sorry couldn’t resist.)

I think I explain “absolute positioning” in a pretty reasonable way. Check it out, if y’all have time/desire. TIP: I put a lot of comments in the html code.

The Ultimate Existential Art

Yeah! Chipmask art. This makes PCB art a mere child’s play.

This truly is a genre that says, “I am!” <– I guess in this case “I geek out therefore I am” :)
