iNik's AppleScript stikkiteering

The other morning during my normal morning routine I ran across a forum post in our "Widgets, Hacks, and more" forum by stikkiteer iNik that had me jumping up and down (literally).

iNik wrote a comprehensive AppleScript package (for Mac OS X) dubbed New Stikkit Package that you can run in various forms: as a stand-alone double-clickable AppleScript application, hook into Quicksilver or Launchbar, or use as a Mac OS X service from just about any other application. It'll even send notifications to Growl.

Seeing people like iNik write useful pieces of code that support an application I care about never gets old. When people ask me, "How's Stikkit going?" I never fail to tell them about people like iNik.

Check out his work, grab a copy and give it a spin, and be to let iNik know what you think.

Thanks, iNik!

Glad you like it, Michael! Now when am I going to get some documentation on the API so I can do more! Stikkit is SCREAMING for a Dashboard widget to display your to-dos!

Hi Nik,

It'd not be unreasonable for you to assume that we've been giving this some attention ;-).

Thanks so much for building the AppleScript package. I've been using it since a few moments after Michael pointed it out.

i love the package but german umlauts "ö" and "ü" are causing problems. Maybe there's an issue with the charset?

And our friendly neighborhood OS X Stikkiteer has already (mark the time: that's a mere handful of hours since launch) has just updated his AppleScript package [http://inik.net/node/107] to use our new Stikkit API [http://community.valuesofn.com/stikkit/index.php/topic,320.msg1002.html#msg1002].

Good on you, Nik!
