Thanks to the newly-available Iris software, I can make time-lapse movies with the camera built into my mac. They’re funny.

Here’s one at around 26 Megs, Here’s a smaller version (8.6 Megs).

Enjoy.

I like it so far. It’ll take some getting used to.

If you’re trying to use GraphicConverter with AppleScript to set IPTC captions and are getting the “GraphicConverter got an error: Some data was the wrong type.” error, you need to coerce your caption variable to Unicode text:

set myCaptionVariable to myCaptionVariable as Unicode text — that’ll fix it.

No one on them internets seems to have posted this before. This little post should have enough keywords for flummoxed people (like I was an hour ago) to find it.

For a project I’m doing, figured I’d share:

MacRumors.com : WWDC 2007 Keynote Live Coverage
11:07 am Leopard shipping in October. Basic version, $129. Premium version, $129. Business version, $129, Enterprise version $129. Ultimate version, $129.
11:07 am crowd goes wild
11:08 am “it’s all the same… most people are gonna buy the ultimate version :)

Doesn’t do a lot, really, but I wanted to test how scripts show up here.

Violà:

tell application "Safari"
      set theCount to the count of its windows
       repeat with x from 1 to theCount
              set theText to the text of document 1 as string
              log theText
              tell application "Finder"
                      set the clipboard to theText
              end tell
               tell application "BBEdit"
                      paste
              end tell
              close window 1
      end repeat
end tell

Looks pretty good in Safari, anyway. Oh well. Using the “pre” tags might cause some wrapping (read: not wrapping) problems, but I’ll manage.
