Scripts and Software

This page contains my software and my AppleScripts. I like AppleScript. Why? Because there are lots of apps that do really cool things that could do them even better if they could talk to each other while they do it. Or to something on the Internet.

I also like other programming environments, like AppleScript Studio, and this page will also feature things I’ve written using other environments. My first app in this category is Manila Envelope.
