Everyone has been super patient with me for the past year... well, more than that. It has been quite a year for me and the coming months continue to see the business factor climb. Lets see, I have been busy coding a bunch of new projects including two for Twitter, ASTwitterLibrary and TwitterScriptOSX. Besides those projects I have a new AppleScript for gathering lyrics and attaching them to your iTunes music called Lyricatcher. All of these, along with ASObject, have been taking up any of the time that I could have put towards the iScript Netcast. Now that they are in a maintenance stage I think I will be able to get back to the stuff that matters to you... episodes!

Hope to check back in soon... and you can now follow the iScript Netcast on Twitter at twitter.com/iscriptnetcast. This will keep you up-to-date on every episode as well as what is going on in-between episodes. Follow me up... you won't be disappointed!

Our friends at MacStories.net just posted the first of a couple of articles I have been writing on AppleScript. This hopefully will turn into a small tutorial for people looking to get started in AppleScript on their mac! I hope you enjoy reading it and that it helps you get a quick overview of what AppleScript is all about!

Oh, and don't forget to the iScript Netcast and MacStories.net up on Twitter!

ASTwitterLibrary has been released as OPEN SOURCE! GET IT HERE

After a few email requests for information on integrating the Twitter API into AppleScript I thought I would share my opinion on the matter. I have not undertaken any projects to write an AppleScript library for the Twitter API although such a task is not beyond the realm of possibility. In the meantime, I have found that the script, ASTwitterLibrary makes an excellent addition to any XCode application or simple AppleScript. The beautiful thing about this library is that it is written exactly like my AppleScript library, ASObject, so if you are already using that library you can begin using ASTwitterLibrary right now!

Enjoy!

In this episode of the iScript Netcast we preview a new script that I am working on which helps take the management of what a user wants to do with their DVDs and make it as simple as clicking a button. This is a very early preview but I thought you would all enjoy getting a peek at it and perhaps adding your own ideas into it. I hope you enjoy it!

And, as I said in the episode, don't forget to follow me on Twitter and perhaps we can meet up when I am in San Francisco attending WWDC.
