iWannaSleep

iwannasleepIf you have never visited Boing Boing you are missing out. It is a great website chock full of interesting links.

They mentioned iWannaSleep the other day, and it is a pretty nifty little app. It is basically a timer that will count down (a time that you set) and when the allotted time has elapsed it will do one of the following:
  • Put the computer to sleep
  • Shutdown the computer
  • Stop iTunes
  • Run an applescript
Since this application can launch an Applescript you can use it to pretty much do any task on your Mac. All of this for the low, low price of free! There is no documentation though.

Rich: I couldn't agree more. It's one of the best pop culture blogs out there, but they're all a bunch of raving far-left loonies, and they unfortunately frequently pollute their astute blogging with moonbat nonsense. I don't understand how people who seem to be so original with their pop blogging can be so conventional in toeing the line with their politics. And there's, what, 4 or 5 of them - each with different backgrounds and areas of expertise, but they' all churn out a knee-jerk Michael Moorism or two on a regular basis. Sorry to further side-track the comments... but when putting people onto boing-boing it should always come with a caveat.

Boing boing is great, if you don't mind the decidedly closed-minded, liberal (progressive?) slant to their choice of, and presentation of articles. I've deleted them from my bookmarks.

Thanks for this tip, Scott. I'm thinking I could use it to shut down Azureus after a specified time, too. I could just set it to shut down the computer, but does anyone know AppleScrupt to quit an app, please?

I use iWannaSleep with PowerController to turn my iBook into my alarm clock. iWannaSleep does a simple job, but it does it well.
