I’ve been hampered from keeping up with news by a really terrible adsl problem at home, my connection to the net has been down for hours at a time every day this week, often in the early evening when I do most browsing.<\/p>\n

Will limited time I’ve been mostly Flagging interesting stuff in Vienna, then to avoid actually reading and thinking about this I wrote a wee appleScript to produce a set of links from the posts in Vienna’s currently selected folder. you can’t set the folder via appleScript so I need to select the Marked Articles<\/b> folder manually and then run the script, this is the result today this:<\/p>\n

Becomes this: <\/p>\n

Some great posts in there, locally David<\/a> and Ewan<\/a> have been increasing the numbr of Scots Education bloggers, in some cases by offering a mars bar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you use vienna<\/a> you might find a use for this applescript: (or be able to improve it, I would like it sorted by date)<\/p>\n

tell application \"Vienna\"
\tset quote to ASCII character 34
\tset theLinks to \"\"
\tset theFolder to the current folder
\tset max to count of articles of theFolder
\trepeat with i from max to 0 by -1
\t\tset theLinks to theLinks & return & "<a href=" & quote & the link of article i of theFolder & quote & ">" & the title of article i of theFolder & "<\/a> " & the date of article i of theFolder
\t\t
\tend repeat
end tell
tell application \"Tex-Edit Plus\"
\tmake new document
\tset the contents of window 1 to theLinks
\tactivate
end tell<\/pre>\n
Or you might be able to improve it, as my appleScript is very much self taught, I would be nice to post it automatically to the blog rather than open in Tex-edit plus first, although it could go straight to the clipboard. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
