In my opinion, the best way to defeat terrorism is to simply stop being afraid of everything that could happen to you & your loved ones and others worldwide.

People need to start worrying about whats happening in their own backyard and house before they even step foot into city, state, national and international politics and media concerns.

I realize that this seems like a contradiction, but look at your backyard and your house for once and pay attention to ALL the little stuff for one day or even an hour. I'll bet that you find at least five things within that first hour that will drive you bat-shit crazy and you never even realized they were there or happened all because you weren't paying attention to the important stuff.

iPadLemme just start off with a few facts about me, so as to not confuse what you think of my position on the Operating System standpoint.

  1. I love using OpenSuSE Linux - It just works if you put your computer together right.
  2. I like OS X - because it works flawlessly no matter what you do to it, almost.
  3. I'd rather use my BlackBerry Storm for a personal computer than touch a windows machine.
  4. I like my iPod Touch 8GB - it has ample room for music while I'm working on a project outside.

Now for my review of what Apple has just released on the masses.

AppleScriptHave you ever needed to resize an image on your Mac, like right now?

Then the attached script is for you.

Just place it where you can access it easily, such as the dock. then whenever you need to resize your images to a pre-set size, just drag & drop onto the icon. Wait a little bit, depending on how many you dropped onto it, then open the newly created folder holding all your resized images.

Source Code - resize-800x_scpt.zip

Compiled App - resize-800x_app.zip

Just a note, both of these by default resize to 800xN. Where N is a relative size as to keep scaling ratio correct in the final output. You can download the script code, open it in the AppleScript editor and change the default 800 to whatever you need it to be. Then just hit the Save as App in the File menu. Then you are all set to go with your new resize script.
