Underpants Gnome

So this morning in the office we were discussing the hassle of swapping out host files based on whether we were in the office or on the outside. I said “You know if I wasn’t so lazy I’d write an AppleScript to do it for me when the network changed”.

This evening I went looking to see if somebody had already do it for me and I found this LocationChanger which was very close to what I wanted. But…

I didn’t want to be limited to only 2 locations (work and home) and I wanted it to be a little easier to manage what happened for each location. So I started with Onne’s code and ended up with Location Watcher.

Enjoy it. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

So I’ve moved all the stuff that is currently hosted on svn.underpantsgnome.com to GitHub.

The stuff will continue to be accessible for a while, but I will not be posting any updates. In addition I will be setting the trac pages to redirect to GitHub shortly as well.

What’d I miss?? So I’ve been in a cave for a little over a year. I know, I know.

I was working for a company that had me doing things that really didn’t pertain to the real world so I didn’t have much to say.

Well, I’m back and working on some goodies. It sure feels good.

I’ll post updates as I have things worth sharing.
