Site is Slow to Load
My hosting company is experiencing some server trouble and as a result--so they report--access to the site will be slow through the day on January 18 while they effect repairs. Sorry about that!
Lifehacker's 23 Best iTunes Add-ons

Macworld Deals With Dupes
Nice blog-post mench of Dupin by Mr. C. Breen over at Macworld.
Am I Being Ripped Off?
I invite regular visitors of this site to have a look at the descriptions for this app and see if they are not virtually identical to many of the scripts I offer here. I gave the developer of this app permission to use one single snippet of code in one script of mine. Do you think that they over-extended my generosity?
Script Search
Finally got the script search form at the top of every page working properly again--well, pretty much. Because of some MySQL problems about a month or so ago, I neglected to update the search code and only recently figured out the problem. If You Wanna Know: the script search is a (simple) FULLTEXT search on the database using IN BOOLEAN MODE.
Inside Mac Radio
Today I recorded an interview segment with Scott Sheppard of Inside Mac Radio which I'm guessing will be part of their October 27th edition.
Site Weirdness Update
The problems I was having with the site, mentioned below, have been resolved.
Website Wackiness
My hosting company is experiencing a little trouble migrating to MySQL 5 (at least that's my take on it; the messages I get from them are worded a little more innocuously). As a result, some of the script listings are truncated and, perhaps most obviously, the "Top Ten" lists in the right column are futzed. Please bear with me as I try to rectify the difficulty.
Gear for ScriptGeeks Only
This proves it: I have a few samples of the wares I'm selling at CafePress sitting on the kitchen counter. My wife says to me, "Those mugs are nice. But I don't understand it." Wife is a professional landscape architect, but not an AppleScripter. Married her anyway.
...And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt
In the interest of supporting the site and evangelizing AppleScript (and for laffs), I've set up a T-Shirt & Mug store at Cafe Press. I make $5.00 Amerkin on every purchase which helps offset my own personal costs in keeping this site going. Hopefully, you'll find the wares enjoyable. Thanks in advance ;)
