Also, this is a small example of the stuff you can do with the scripting support in <a href="http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/OmniOutliner/">OmniOutliner</a>. Disclaimer; yes, I work at <a href="http://www.omnigroup.com/">Omni</a>.</p><br /><br /><p>First, download all the <a href="http://developer.apple.com/wwdc/schedule/">session calendars</a>. Name each one with a 'WWDC 2005' prefix (the script uses this to find them). This process could be automated as well, really...</p><br /><br /><p>Download the <a href="http://people.omnigroup.com/bungi/WWDC%20Calendar%20to%20OmniOutliner.zip">WWDC Calendar to OmniOutliner</a> script (the archive includes sample output as well).</p><br /><br /><p>Then, run it. ScriptEditor will churn for a while. If you get bored, you can entertain yourself with Activity Monitor, or you can expand the items being created in the OmniOutliner file while it is running.</p><br /><br /><p>When finished, you'll have an list of sessions in nice time-based groups with all the notes expanded. You can then easily check off one session per hour, or if you have a whole group going, you could add an enumeration column and assign people to go to each session.</p><br /><br /><p>Later, I'll possibly write a script that will extract the checked items and build a new calendar in iCal for your individual schedule.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6929030-111543444129315921?l=catbus.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>tjwhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17719488998770640301noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929030.post-1100851292603775762004-11-18T23:47:00.000-08:002004-11-19T00:08:39.803-08:00<p>WoW beta ended today, and as is tradition in MMOs, there was much silliness to behold.</p> <br /><p>First, of, of course, there was the requisite naked dancing, but this quickly led into the GM Monster Summoning... we were all standing around asking for it, but no GM wrath was forthcoming.</p> <br /><img src="http://www.omnigroup.com/~bungi/WoW/EndOfBeta/Ring.jpg"/> <br /><p>Then, word came 'round that Stormwind was getting the smack so we all raced to the tram. Sadly I didn't get a shot of this; there were probably 80-100 people on the tram at once :) </p> <br /><p>Shortly after arriving, we had a little fight <br /><img src="http://www.omnigroup.com/~bungi/WoW/EndOfBeta/Throne4.jpg"/> <br /><img src="http://www.omnigroup.com/~bungi/WoW/EndOfBeta/Throne5.jpg"/></p> <br /> <br /><p>Fearing our mob, the GMs pulled out the big guns... <br /><img src="http://www.omnigroup.com/~bungi/WoW/EndOfBeta/Throne1.jpg"/></p> <br /> <br /><p>This resulted in the predictable outcome... <br /><img src="http://www.omnigroup.com/~bungi/WoW/EndOfBeta/Throne2.jpg"/></p> <br /> <br /><p>... followed by drifting on the river of spirits back to the keep ... <br /><img src="http://www.omnigroup.com/~bungi/WoW/EndOfBeta/Throne3.jpg"/></p> <br /> <br /><p>Come on! We can take him! <br /><img src="http://www.omnigroup.com/~bungi/WoW/EndOfBeta/Throne7.jpg"/></p> <br /> <br /><p>Hey, where'd you all go! Not in the face! <br /><img src="http://www.omnigroup.com/~bungi/WoW/EndOfBeta/Throne6.jpg"/></p> <br /> <br /><p>Thus ends a fun several months, only to begin again on Tuesday. <br /><img src="http://www.omnigroup.com/~bungi/WoW/EndOfBeta/Logout.jpg"/></p> <br /> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6929030-110085129260377576?l=catbus.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>tjwhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17719488998770640301noreply@blogger.com0
