The Ultimate Introduction to Applescript, Part 2: Scripting Concepts and Samples

Applescript, that amazing resource many Mac users ignore because they think it’s too complex. Guys, Applescript is an amazing tool to get things done automatically, though I recognize many of you just don’t want to get started because you don’t have the right motivation, or you just don’t know enough about it. I wrote a post which collected the best examples of Applescript but still, there wasn’t a real introduction.

That’s why I asked my friend Jesse from iScript Netcast to get started on a posts series about Applescript. This is the second part of the series, be sure to read the first part “The Ultimate Introduction to Applescript” if you missed it. You can also get in touch with iScript Netcast on Twitter here.

Service to Send Any Link to Instapaper

Link

“Since getting Instapaper Pro for my iPod, I’ve been loving the ability to add links to my instapaper just by tapping on them, rather than (on my laptop) having to follow a link to its webpage, wait for it to load, and then hit the bookmarklet to send it to IP. So I made a service to duplicate that functionality on my Macbook. Once installed, you can select any URL in any application, and any link in Safari and send it to Instapaper in the background. You’ll get notified via Growl or the OS.”

This is just great.
