Workin’ in a coal mine
It’s a Saturday. I’m listening to Casino Versus Japan’s “Whole Numbers Play the Basics” and drinking coffee. Soon, I will require some food.
I’d been neglecting my guitar of late so I did a little noodling on it yesterday. The results were satisfactory and droney: grottoed.
This morning I did a little script hacking for irssi, the excellent, open source, terminal-based irc client. I have a good script called “urlplot” that manages incoming URLs and lets me open a browser on them but copying a URL into irssi was always a manual thing. Admittedly not a very difficult one, but it required a drag and drop and I’m not a fan of doing that. So, I rolled up a Perl script which in turn called an AppleScript which queried Safari’s currently opened page and fed it back to the IRC client. The end-result is an easy “/safari” command to drop in the link.
My next task is to be a TinyURLifier script for Safari.
