Import new photos into iPhoto

My 6630 “workflow” is to beam a group of pictures over Bluetooth, open my “Incoming” folder (using Quicksilver), select then drag the new pictures into iPhoto.

Here's an Applescript that looks for new pictures or movies in a folder of your choice, and imports them into iPhoto. Click the link and it'll open Script Editor for you — just fill in the correct path in traditional Mac style.

Much quicker. There's one known flaw: because iPhoto only allows importing one file at a time through Applescript, you end up with one roll per image; furthermore, there's no interface to the rolls through Applescript, so you have to fix that by hand. Or you could buy PhotoRetriever.

Not a good day to stay home

There are 4 problems on my ADSL line at the moment, ranging from a “massive service failure” to a problem at the exchange. And there I was wondering why I had no network access… my router was entirely correct when it reported a line failure!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Orange's flawless 3G performance, and my Nokia 6630, without which this blog post couldn't have happened. I'd also like to thank my agent….

Maybe now I can get some work done.

CSS Cheat Sheet

I saw this indispensible companion to CSS this morning. What I really wanted, though, was a a PDF version.

Ultimately that one had unreadable glyphs on my Mac, so I re-exported from his Word version. Largely for my own benefit, here is my PDF version. If you're going to refer to it a lot, save it locally, please.

Many thanks to the original creators.
