AppleScript: FileMaker Pro to Photoshop 7.0
Sunday, May 26th, 2002FileMaker Pro to Photoshop 7.0
Taking data from FileMaker Pro 5.5 to Photoshop 7.0 is simple with AppleScript. So simple, I challenged myself to write the code on the flight from Sydney to Auckland on the Photoshop 7.0 User Conference/Roadshow/Tour in May. After a little modification "in the shop", and comments from the great Shane Stanley, [...]

mungenetengine
Wednesday, May 22nd, 2002Had a brainwave on the way home. External links are now styled in bold italics underline. This took one change in the code I generate in the PHP, and one additional line in the css. Done. The history and reason for italics is this is what Apple used to denote aliases (Unix: links, Windows: [...]

Faux transparency
Thursday, May 16th, 2002Experimenting with "faux" transparency in the design. If this page were composed in SVG, it would be much easier. The wrapping to the right is also faked (using a table) and the Recent area has a background image in the table cells that blend from one colour to another. The image behind the main [...]

Thursday, May 16th, 2002Down to 14 emails in the Inbox. For those who have sent me an email, don't panic: I am not ignoring you. Just getting through them as quickly as possible and as time permits. Don't be surprised to see emails sent late at night!
"The Adobe InDesign 2.0.1 update addresses several issues that were [...]
