Hi all,

Just thought I’d mention a couple new items of interest to Mac OS X-  
based Rubyists:

Firstly, Matt N., author of “AppleScript: The Definitive Guide”,  
has just published a great introduction to rb-appscript at O’Reilly’s  
MacDevCenter. If you’re a newcomer interested in learning rb-appscript  
but don’t know where to start, or an existing appscript user looking  
for more great examples of its use, check it out:

Secondly, I’ve just released ‘itunes’, a neat new appscript-based  
utility that provides a convenient command-line interface to iTunes on  
Mac OS X 10.3 and later. Ideal for OS X command-line fans as well as  
appscript users interested in seeing a more advanced example of iTunes  
scripting:

stories you’d like to share? Let me know.)
