Apple Script in action!
Mar 9th
This is for the first time I am blogging about Mac OS X. Last day, I was chatting with one of my foss buddies. I wanted to learn something from him, and we were discussing how to vectorize and image in inkscape!. Alas, I did typed in something, and he wanted to me to say SORRY!. Since I didn’t do anything wrong, I told him that I am not ready to do that. The chat progressed, and I agreed to say Sorry!. Then he wanted me to say Sorry 100 times, and asked me to do it using Python.
I was using Mac at that time, so went for another choice, APPLE SCRIPT. This is what I did :
using terms from application “iChat”
tell application “iChat”
repeat 100 times
send “SORRY!” to buddy “********************”
end repeat
end tell
end using terms from
This will send the buddy the text “SORRY!” 100 times. Note that I’ve replaced the name of buddy with * for privacy 
Apple Scripting is same as our shell scripting in Gnu/Linux, whom we employ to automate our work 
Back after a short break
Feb 18th
Lol!
I’ve found sometime to write something on my blog!. University Examination is at doorstep; OS textbook is looking at me laughing; and me, sitting in front of my study table with laptop. May be I am taking up a break, or is it correct to say that I am too much distracted these days? I don’t know. Anyway, I’ve decided to study well for my exams right from this day!
I’ve a lot to blog about, and will be doing it one by one starting right from the “Sarai FLOSS Fellowship, New Delhi” upto FOSSMeet@NITC, 2010. Also, on some works which I did in Scribus and on my Mini Project too!
Pencils down!… oops, shutdown the laptop, it’s time to start studies!
I will be back sometime later, with some other post!
