Do Something When is a system preference pane that allows the user to watch for drives mounting and un-mounting, allowing you to launch or quit applications, when these events happen.
You can launch iTunes when your music hard drive gets mounted, you can quit iTunes when you eject the drive. This is just an example of what can be done.
Enhancements:
- Universal
- Fixed intermittent saving bug with regards to existing rules.

Get External IP Address is a small AppleScript that helps you determine your external IP address.
This app is for people that need an easier way to check their external IP address. It includes support for copying the address to the clipboard.

Attachment Scanner Plugin is the tool for you is you forget to include an attachment on your emails.

It happens to me all the time. By the time I get done writing my email, I forget that I needed to attach something to it before hitting Send.

This Mail.app plugin helps avoid that problem. When you send a message, it checks if theres an attachment. If there isnt, and it looks like youve referred to an attachment in the body of your mail (by using a word like attach, attaching, attachment, etc), it gives you a warning.

Most of the time, you should never notice that this plugin is running, but in those cases when you do need it.

Get-Set Comments is an AppleScript that enables you to view and edit comments via contextual menu.

This pair of scripts, Comment-Get and Comment-Set, when coupled with a contextual menu utility such as Big Cat contextual menu plugin, allows users to easily view or edit comments for selected Finder items.

This is a simple AppleScript droplet which includes a binary of the TiVoDecode program. Just drag and drop your .tivo files on it and get an MPEG-2 video out. You can then use other tools to convert that MPEG-2 into something else.

Documentation is included. If you need help getting your .tivo files onto your Mac or converting MPEG-2 files into something more useful, try Google.

Problems with the decoding (such as missing audio and other weirdness) are best addressed on the tivodecode sourceforge page. I will not be supporting this program beyond the functionality of the basic AppleScript wrapper.

To get your TiVo files onto your Mac, you have two options: First, try Galleon, with or without the launcher bundle for OS X. Or, if you prefer, you can download straight from your browser by typing in your TiVo’s IP address prefixed by https:// (rather than http://). Your login is “tivo” and your password is your Media Access Key..

If you’re using Safari and have Bonjour bookmarks enabled, your TiVo should just publish itself to your bookmarks, so you can select that link (probably called something like “dvr-123.local.”) and then just add the https:// in front of it to get to the video listing.

These videos wont play terribly well in Quicktime. You’re better off using VLC or something else for video playback.

As powerful as Microsoft Entourage is, you would think that something as simple as the Delete Key would be a no-brainer. Think again!

For this, the developers have decided that just hitting Delete is far too obvious. If you want to get rid of a task, for example, you have to first select the task and hit Cmd-Delete. This brings up a Warning Dialog, which then lectures you on all the dangers of ‘deleting’!

Requirements: Mac OS X 10.1 or later.
