Plug-in System Including Osascript Are Not Available

Saturday, October 25, 2008
There is a trouble on my work this week. A program in Perl I wrote before doesn’t work on Leopard, but it works on Tiger. I understand where some blocks trouble my program. Those blocks call osascript of shell command, and the blocks including osascript are executed by eval. Other blocks including osascript that aren’t executed by eval are available. In a word, plug-in system including osascript are not available.

My development environment can’t make the shift to Leopard OS until I resolve this trouble.

A New Blog

Friday, October 24, 2008
I’ll start an another blog in Japanese in not more than two months.
To write my blog in Japanese had been stopped by myself, but I changed
my mind. I came to feel writing a blog about my works that is about
DTP operation by program on OS X.

I used to have my blog in Japanese before but have stopped to update
it. It is not the blog’s reactive, but starting as a new blog. I
already choiced a template of the blogger and finished custumizing of
CSS.

Though there is an anxiety that I neglect to updating of my English
diary. I’ll mind it.

Flower Bed

Wednesday, October 15, 2008
At first I intended to place some planter boxes front of my house. But for bring up roses, it seems they need a deep clod of about forty to fifty centimeters. That’s why I got making a flower bed there the week before last. Those pictures are the processes of my work with my wife up to the present date.

Suddenly My iMac Went Dead

Friday, October 03, 2008
Last Wednesday my iMac on work suddenly went dead. I couldn’t hear boot sound, do P-RAM clear either boot with target-mode. Of course also I couldn’t use an installer DVD of OS X. But the electricity supply wasn’t cut off because an indicator light in right lower on the iMac was turned on.

I suspected the CPU became heat overdrive, so I waited until it was cool down. And yet my iMac didn’t boot up. But I guessed the hard disk didn’t crash. At last, I decided to take out a hard disk from it. It means my iMac was taken apart. I was busy. I couldn't wait until it would be fixed.

Now I’m using another iMac in USB connection with the hard disk I took out.

A Way of Adding Several Tasks with Properties on RTM

Thursday, October 02, 2008
I’m using Remember The Milk as To Do List. RTM provides a bookmarklet to quickly add a new task. A time when a new task is added one by one is very useful. But this tool is not available to add several tasks one time. So I prepared an AppleScript for updating a lot of tasks from Excel. That script sends data to RTM via Mail.app.

After inputing information of task into each cell, I select any cell and then make this script runs. Whole a table includes the cell is selected. These data are sent and added to RTM one line by one line.

If I add plural tasks with properties, I have to do that. Perhaps, no one except but that way could add the number of tasks. There is a mail address of RTM that is possible to add tasks as lists but in this way I can’t add some properties.
