Blogger's hidden page for submitting bug reports

Actually, it seems less hidden than it used to be: Blogger Help.

Maybe blogger is getting better?

PictureSync: manage upload to online image services

PictureSync: Photo-sharing for Mac OS X

I'll test it. Most of the vendor-supplied products for upload are very weak. Supports smugmug.

Place dashboard widgets on the desktop

TUAW post on Applescript and Automator integration

Automator is beginning to get interesting (it's big in 'Aperture.app' apparently):

The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

If you're used to AppleScript and would like to build your own actions, the building blocks of Automator workflows, MacNN has an excellent introduction. Author Benjamin Waldie takes you step-by-step through a simple action. As a bonus, that action includes a list of possible inputs. A handy step to include, as workflows are most powerful when you modify their output based on input at runtime. This was a component sorely lacking from a particular action I was working on a few weeks ago. I have disliked Automator in the past, but only because I prefer AppleScript. This tutorial helped me sort of bridge the gap between the two. Now I can build more reusable code in AppleScripts, and put those in actions to use in better workflows.

MBS: Hardware Monitor for OS X

ThermographX is a nice app, but for slightly more money MBS: Hardware Monitor is very impressive indeed. I use it now to constantly look for problems with my iMac 2GHz ALS rev B overheating. There's also a free app called Temperature Monitor.

Note the drive check may wake the drive from sleep, so be careful about using it. (There are two ways to check drive temp, maybe one doesn't wake the drive?)
