Fire & Forget Applescript for Safari: Save Web Page to Evernote

Roman — Sat, 05 May 2012 17:22:03 +0000

There are lots of applescripts for Safari and Evernote and they use most of the same code with perhaps just a little deviation. I have tried a few but they seemed to be just missing a bit here and there to make them more efficient. If you have tried my other scripts you know I am a fan of helper programs (like evernote) activating, doing its thing, and then getting the hell out of the way. I love the “one click/fire & forget” workflow. So with this script, I have implemented a “one click” activation of evernote, quickly moving it to the background while saving the web page thru instapaper’s mobilizer, then killing itself until it is once again needed. If you prefer to keep your evernote running all of the time, this script is not for you.

tell application "Safari"
 set SafariURL to URL of document 1
  tell application "Evernote"
   create note from url "http://www.instapaper.com/m?u=" & SafariURL
	 synchronize
	 tell application "Safari"
		activate
	 end tell
	 delay 15
	 quit
   end tell
end tell

Checked out the Louvre today.

A Golden Age of Flight Sims – Red Baron, Aces of the Pacific, & Aces Over Europe

Roman — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 01:02:12 +0000

Definitely a golden age of historical flight simulators when Dynamix released Red Baron, Aces of the Pacific, and Aces Over Europe. Each game comes with a nice spiral manual with historical goodness that rivals the Lucasfilm sims.

inCider Magazine March 1983

I finally found an inCider magazine on eBay that was priced right for the content. In the March/1983 issue inCider reviews Apple’s newest computer, the IIe. This along with 200 pages of articles, BASIC program listings, and other retro goodness made it a steal for $10 (includes shipping).
