Classic Beagle Bros Apple ][ fun

Anyone else remember this?

From the glory days of computing fun. Who the heck first figured out that one line of Applesoft BASIC could make your Apple ][ moo like a cow?

This man deserves a medal

This may solve a mysterious “Windows detected your registry file is still in use by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded now. The applications or services that hold your registry file may not function properly afterwards.” error I’ve been seeing on Windows 2008 Server. He at least deserves a link.

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

Restore “Bounce Message” functionality to OS X Lion Mail.app

For some reason, Apple decided to remove the ability to bounce email messages from the OS X Lion version of Mail.app UI. They did, however, leave the API exposed, and it can be called via AppleScript.

Instructions on how to create an Automator service that can execute the AppleScript (copied here just in case):

1. Open Automator.
2. Create a new service.
3. Configure the service so that it has “no input” in “Mail”
4. Drag “Get Selected Mail Messages” into the workflow
5. Drag “Run Applescript” into the workflow
6. Use the following AppleScript, then save the workflow with a name like “Bounce Message”.

on run {input, parameters}
   tell application "Mail"
      repeat with eachMessage in input
         bounce eachMessage
      end repeat
   end tell
end run

7. In Mail, select the message you would like to bounce. Then from the “Mail” menu, choose “Services”, then click on your new service. The message will bounce.
