“People will stare. Make it worth their while.”

That’s why I am going to wear a white suite with a pink tie at the xmas party tomorrow.

Talking to God on the morning train: Quite a long story, but without doubt the best I have read online this year.

How to take timed screenshots in OSX

Sat, 08 Nov 2008 23:05:00 +0100

I’m working on a video for marketing purposes and needed a solution that takes screen captures of my desktop every minute or so.

At first I played around with /usr/sbin/screencapture and crontab, but that only produced black images, since cron doesn’t run it as the right user. This is what worked for me:

create the following Applescript (source) and save it somewhere as an app:

set DATE_TIME to do shell script "date +%Y_%m_%d_%H%M"
set fname to DATE_TIME & ".png"
do shell script "/usr/sbin/screencapture -x " & fname

add this line to your crontab file to take a screenshot every minute, all the time:

* * * * * open -g

The -g parameter to open causes the Applescript to be executed in the background instead of stealing focus away from your front-most app every sixty seconds.

Ever since Obama has been elected, people are nicer to each other, the sun is shining brighter, and even the animals are tamer then ever!

It is truly a marvelous time to be alive.

“The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur
when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled.
For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort,
that we are likely to step out of our ruts
and start searching for different ways
or truer answers.”

- M. Scott Peck (via onherway)

This very much sums up this current week for me.

I enjoyed Obamas victory speech a lot, but I couldn’t get rid of the feeling that at some point he was going to declare that this day

will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: “We will not go quietly into the night!” We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

All kidding aside, this is truly awesome.

Taste Kid | Find similar music (artists, bands), movies, books

Pretty impressive. My first try (Fight Club) yielded 26 movie recommendations, of which I didn’t know three, two that were okay and 21 spot-on ones. Nice layout, too.
