I seem to have posting the selected text to my blog (and then to micro.blog) sorted via Alfred and AppleScript. It has taken me a while to figure out how to do categories with the xml-rpc and AppleScript. I think there are a fair number of possibilities with this sort of thing.
Facebook was the key to the entire campaign, Wigmore explained. A Facebook ‘like’, he said, was their most “potent weapon”. “Because using artificial intelligence, as we did, tells you all sorts of things about that individual and how to convince them with what sort of advert.

How does your daily engagement with different apps and websites look like? I’ve been musing on this one for a few days. A few years ago I wrote an AppleScript that would periodically do the F9 show all your windows and dump a screenshot. On Sunday afternoon I dug it out and ran it from just […]

Last week I blogged about possible ways forward and as I did so a couple of possible solutions appeared: Posthaven is the safe place for all your posts forever from some of the development team at posterous a […]
I’ve been continuing to enjoy dipping into the #ETMOOC stream, beginning to feel a lot more relaxed about missing things. A couple of days ago I followed a link by Tiago Santos to Basic Ingredients for Good Web Writing | Chapter Three. This is pretty straightforward stuff and as Tiago says good advice. I commented […]
