Jason over at 37signals has a cool little automator trick that downloads the front pages of your favorite newspapers and renders them as a pdf file. I’ve put together the local Vancouver edition which includes the Vancouver Sun, The Province, The Globe and Mail, and the National post. For some reason each time you run the app the order of the papers will be different. Also bear in mind that it takes a minute to run because it has to download all the pages etc. Enjoy
If you’re using OSX Tiger and Flickr you might be interested in the ability to send images to Flickr by right clicking and hitting send. This is useful if you use Flickr for image hosting for your blog or you just want a really quick way to upload images to Flickr.
This automator action can be used in a number of interesting ways. For example I made a timelapse with it. You can combine it with other automator actions to do whatever you need. You could use Automator to crop 100 images and then upload to them all to Flickr at the end. If you want to loop your automator actions you can use this.
If you want to take some screenshots and upload them to Flickr use these shortcuts:
Images are then saved to your desktop as Picture 1, Picture 2… Now its as easy as right clicking them to upload to Flickr…
