This is a list (a very subjective list) of scripts that perform tasks you may wish were actual iTunes Menu commands. Just copy and paste 'em to your AppleScript Editor and save to your iTunes Scripts folder...then add a Shortcut.

Optionally, you can click the mini-AppleScript Editor icon link beneath each snippet to open the script in AppleScript Editor on your computer. These links use URL Protocol Messaging to safely and securely send the contents of the script to your AppleScript Editor application.

Rating to Text Stars
Pass the value of a track’s rating property. Regretably, the chevrons in the Unicode do not translate into UPM so you’ll have to copy-and-paste this off the page.

AltFontPrev is a JavaScript bookmarklet that allows you to preview how any website would look if a particular font was not available or a different font chosen. Each font used to style elements on the page is listed under its selector and, when clicked, is moved from being a fall-back to being the primary font.

As well as choosing a font from the existing CSS declarations, you can type a custom font to override everything. Hopefully this will help you choose alternative fonts when perfecting your site’s typography.

Those that use Firefox with the Tails extension, read no further. This is not for you. You have it given to you on a plate, you don’t know how lucky you are. This is for those of us using Camino, Safari or Omniweb.

After I mocked up an image of how Microformats detection might work in Safari, I started looking at the tools there were available. While there wasn’t anything that handled detection, Tantek did release his bookmarklets to allow hCard and hCalendar information to be exported from a page. Nothing in the region of Tails where you could view a list and choose which contacts/events you wanted, but it worked. This just left some way of handling detection, until I came across Chris Casciano’s script for NetNewsWire to Extract Microformats. It was a simple solution too – use css to style .vcard and .vevent classes differently.

So I’ve knocked up one of my own as a starting point. Here it is in action on Adactio, a rich harvest of microformats to be highlighted:

Here’s the file to download: expose-mf.css

It may work better with some designs than others. So far, I’ve not come

Math.randomMax = function(maxVal,asFloat){
var val = Math.random()*maxVal;
return asFloat?val:Math.round(val);
}



For a random integer between 0 and 10 (inclusive), simply:

var theNumber = Math.randomMax( 10 );



For a random float value between 0 and 10, pass a truth value to the second parameter:

var theNumber = Math.randomMax( 10, true );

Latest Zend Framework Snippets - Code examples

A snippet is a piece of text that you would like to insert in your document. It can include code to run at insertion time, variables (like selected text), tab stops/placeholders for missing information (which you can tab through after insertion) and perform transformations on the data which you enter in the placeholders.

7 Snippets
7.1 Plain Text
7.2 Variables
7.3 Interpolated Shell Code
7.4 Tab Stops
7.5 Placeholders
7.6 Mirrors
7.7 Transformations

Completion Dictionary is a free Xcode plugin that enhances Xcode’s built-in code completion mechanism. You simply type a few letters - either the abbreviation of a macro or the initials of a symbol name - and press the completion shortcut. Completion Dictionary will do the rest.
Macro Expansion

A set of user defined macros is searched for an entry matching the abbreviation you’ve typed in. The macros may also contain a number of placeholders. The text range of these placeholders will be preselected, ready to be replaced with your further input.
Code Completion

Completion Dictionary integrates the built-in code completion capabilities of Xcode. If there’s no macro found for a given abbreviation, Xcode’s code completion will be performed instead of macro expansion.
Features

* Seamless Xcode integration with configurable fallback to Xcode’s code completion
* Built-in Macro Editor for quickly adding custom macros
* Full Undo/Redo support
* Free definable placeholders within the macros
* Query placeholders for macros that require additional user input
* Automatic indentation of multi-line macros, allows to insert code snippets properly indented.
* Comprehensive set of default macros (includes more than 190 macros)

An even simpler option, retaining all of Firebug's console routines, and not interfering with additional parameters.
