http://www.jasoncoleman.net All the makings of a real web site, plus my stuff.

Using some of the integrated Apple services and some scripting, macOSXhints user miketyson put together a Service in OS X to simply convert ... http://www.jasoncoleman.net/2008/05/12/convert-text-to-itunes-audiobook/ I have learned that there is something about the mac that makes for really nice, easy software. It's sort of a cross between a Unix ethos (that is, programs that do just one thing and do them really well) and an Apple ethos (it just works).
