scripts collection

Cool - if useless - scripts I collected and used over the years. Because it’s useless to have socks if you can’t find it.

I gottabe more strict… Most of the effects are cross-browser, but from now on I’ll only collect jquery effects. make up your mind, heh?

still MEA, RIT’s cary graphic arts collection
.
as a relief, and because RIT is all commited to printing technologies (just to give you a hint, they’re sponsored by eastman kodak company), i went to see the cary graphic collection…
.
the curator, a guy with a rosetta stone tie (and if you know about linguistic’s history, you understand the devotion ppl have with this rock), showed us:
.
- some medieval pre-gutemberg manuscripts, totally different punctuation, with animal parchment (
- some post-gutemberg printing… the funny thing is, they tried to reproduce the more they could the old technology (manuscript), but then pagination and other metadata started to surface (indexing, lead, diagrams, and all the stuff we can find on newspapers nowadays). probably the printer guys were dying to experiment with the technology, but the clients wanted the classic stuff… i can relate to that!
.
- and an original gutemberg bible page… the peak of it… i kept admiring the page, entranced by the aura of it. funny, coz printing press was precisely the tool that spawned the age of simulacra we live now, so destroying the very concept of “aura” in arts.
.
i understand that as it’s hard for a fish to understand the concept of water, it’s difficult for our generation to understand the concept of no-reproduction, so if you are too entrenched in our ouw age and can’t get all the raving about the printing press, read “art in the age of mechanical reproduction” to get a glimpse of the revolution it was. or, if you have time, read all “gutemberg galaxy” (i recommend to smoke a joint before, mc luhan works better this way :).

anal-retentive types, itunes & idtags
.
ney arrumou a rede, temos um hd até então na casa do vitor (4 andares acima).
.
daí que peguei o itunes novo, e vários scripts para organizar minha coleção de mp3. os três mais úteis foram:
.
>> file renamer que, bem, renomeia os mp3 selecionados para [nome da música] - [banda].mp3
.
>> park itunes, que diminui o tamanho da janela do bixo para o mínimo possível e
.
>> the big picture um app que simplesmente procura a capa do cd na amazon, e baixa a imagem no desktop, pra vc decorar seu idtag (nem seeeeempre funciona, mas quando pára no meio do caminho, bem, é o meio do caminho, vc pode terminar sozinho)
.
e agora que pus o spark no soulseek da minha irmã (perdi todos os cds de mp3 na viagem, sei lá, e pelo que eu saiba não existe soulseek pro mac), tô feito…
