Location Watcher for OS X

Posted in General by Michael on the July 31st, 2008

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.
