For work, I've been looking for a lightweight CRM that integrates well with Microsoft Outlook. Not finding what I wanted, I ended up going down a rabbit hole of experimenting with AppleScript.

Seven hours later and I've discovered that either Outlook or AppleScript is bizarrely bug-ridden: it returns the properties of some emails as I need, but not the properties of others, in ways that make no sense, and that render the whole exercise moot. #AppleScript #MicrosoftOutlook

Extreme slowdowns for user interaction in Tahoe

I write scripts and push them to other users. Tahoe is a major pain. On some, but not all, Tahoe Macs this happens. Every dialog gets a beach ball. It will last for 15 - 45 seconds, and start over for every user action, like type a single character or for every selection in a multiple select list. Scripts are signed. No difference if they are notarized or not. It happens on some Macs, but on very similar Macs same script run just fine. No problmes anywhere when run from Script Debugger/Editor. ...

UpDock - AppleScriptable app on App Store

Hey, Everyone, a few weeks ago I was looking for beta testers for my new app It’s now on the AppStore and the free version is complete. UpDock+ is available as an in-app purchase (the only IAP) and the app has no adds or subscriptions. UpDock builds on the concept of Apple’s dock. Instead of giving you a single dock on one edge of the screen UpDock lets you create mini-docks on the screen edges apple’s dock doesn’t use. It’s particularly useful for AppleScript work flows, as you can put apps, ...

A simple "Please wait" message

I’ve seen many complex methods for creating a “Please wait” message that can display while an AppleScript does something that takes a long time while showing no activity on screen. I asked Claude Code to come up with something, and it produced the linked code (after a few failed attempts which it managed to fix when prompted to do so):
