The Nth Muse

Why restrict yourself to 9 ?? Greek mythology speaks of the 9 muses.. the sources of inspiration for artists and scientists.. “The Nth muse” is my attempt to acknowledge the fact that there are more, many more than 9 of these..

Aperture iPhoto Sync

May 30th, 2009

What is it ?

Aperture iPhoto Sync is an applescript which will sync your Aperture projects/albums to iPhoto, thereby making them available to the rest of iLife apps for you to use. (Yes I know that you can drag and drop Aperture images & create iPhoto albums, but a script sure beats doing this manually!) It syncs masters by creating links in iPhoto library to save space.. and (optionally) syncs up modified versions by exporting them using Aperture’s export presets.

Features

Syncs Masters without copying them – save space !
Syncs modified versions by exporting them from Aperture using selected presets.
Will optionally delete photos from iPhoto albums before syncing – ensuring an exact replica.
Syncs intelligently – ignores ‘Rejects’ and syncs only ‘Select’ of a stack to avoid clutter.
Uses the library that you have configured in Aperture as the the library it imports from.

Enhanced Entourage – Omnifocus integration using Quicksilver

April 12th, 2009

So.. if you are a GTD fan, and use a Mac, you may have been enticed into using OmniFocus (an awesome GTD app, by the way..). While the folks over at Omnigroup have provided a nice set of scripts to add tasks using Quicksilver, it’s still not that straightforward to add Emails from Entourage to OmniFocus….

Many folks have put together nice scripts (see this thread, on the Omnigroup forums) that will take a set of emails currently selected in Entourage and add them to the OmniFocus Inbox… However, if you use Quicksilver, I’ve extended these scripts so that they will automatically add these emails into the appropriate Project and Context, therby saving you the time and effort of having to go in and clean up your inbox later on..
