Mr. CodeBoy has fond memories of programming his Commodore 64 during the 1980's. In fact, he was still using his custom programs as late as 1992, at which time he contracted microprocessor fever, and entered the world of Windows.
The first few years were not too bad, but once digital photography became mainstream, it was clear to Mr. CodeBoy that it was time to put the baby computing power of a 386x system on the shelf, and invest in a real machine. He purchased his first iBook (G3) in December 2001. The following summer, he picked up a used PowerMac (dual G4), and by the spring of 2003, he was learning AppleScript.
Mr. CodeBoy was completely overtaken by the opportunities to automate his machines, as well as to simplify boring tasks that forced him to spend way too much time at the keyboard. His reasoning was simple: Why waste 20 minutes doing repetitive tasks when one can spend 3 hours generating an AppleScript to do it automatically?
This section serves as a jumping point to a number of AppleScripts that Mr. CodeBoy still finds useful. He sincerely hopes that you will find something that you can use as well.
