Message-ID: <20070411150258.GN24042@uga.edu> Any of you perl mongers have an Apple TV? http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2007/04/appletv_perl_plugin.html?CMP=OTC-0D6B48984890 On Sunday, with a hundred better things to do but no incentive to do them, I put together an Apple TV plug-in that allows you to run any Perl script you place into a folder in your home directory. (/Users/frontrow/perlbin). The idea is this: a lot of people know how to write Perl who don't want to learn to program Cocoa. And you can add new scripts from your normal office work computer (via ssh) but have them all available from Apple TV. You can do date & time, calendars, stock quotes, weather, and so forth. Scrape web pages, subscribe to RSS feeds, whatever. -- Paul Keck pkeck at uga.edu http://www.arches.uga.edu/~pkeck University of Georgia http://www.uga.edu/ucns/telecom EITS Network Engineering mailto:pkeck at ediacara.org --Opinions mine.-- Go fighting anomalocaridids!!!

Not me. I love most things Apple produces, but the Apple TV makes me snore. Maybe if I hadn't been doing Xbox Media Center for years I might be more interested-- but I'm not sure about that either. -d > > http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2007/04/ > appletv_perl_plugin.html?CMP=OTC-0D6B48984890 > > On Sunday, with a hundred better things to do but no incentive to > do them, > I put together an Apple TV plug-in that allows you to run any > Perl script > you place into a folder in your home directory.
