600

Props to Jim Thome for hitting his 600th home run, something only eight MLB players have ever done, and only five legitimately. The only other active player who has a shot at 600 is Albert Pujols, who has 438 at age 31.

Unfortunately, the smart move for the Twins now is to trade him. They are not going to make a run this year and they could use the prospects.

OmniFocus AppleScript

Here is another AppleScript that I am going to find handy. It takes the contents of the clipboard and enters each paragraph as a new OmniFocus action. Handy for copying long lists of things from a text file into OF.

-- import a text list from clipboard into OF as new actions

set warningDialog to display dialog "This script will transfer the contents of the clipboard to your OmniFocus Inbox as new action items" buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button 2 with icon 2

if button returned of warningDialog is equal to "Cancel" then return

tell application "OmniFocus"

tell default document

set blockList to paragraphs of the contents of (the clipboard)

repeat with nextItem in blockList

if nextItem is not equal to "" then make new inbox task with properties {name:nextItem}

end repeat

end tell

end tell

poem

Books to the ceiling,
Books to the sky,
My pile of books is a mile high.
How I love them! How I need them!
I'll have a long beard by the time I read them.
- Arnold Lobel
