My Like & Hate Relationship With Apple ComputersThree months ago, I was a die hard Windows user, and when I mean die-hard, I mean, mother-fucking John McClane yippe-kai-yay-motherfucker die-hard windows user. So die-hard that if I even looked at a mac, I would get angry, and curse. Perhaps I would get so angry that a Nakatomi incident would happen.
But I digress.This was a little over 2 years ago, before Apple made a few changes to there pathetic little Unix based OSX; and a free little indie application was released. I recently got a good job, for a fortune 500 company. The only thing that bothered me that there design teams all used Macs. I hated working on macs, it was like someone sticking a fire hot needle into my dick and then repeating the process; several times over. I'm talking about 2 little things that saved this operating system from eternal damnation in my eyes. I'm talking: Exposé, (with some faggoty French accent over the "e" so all the Steve Jobs dick sucking, pretentious mac users can get and even bigger boner in their turtle neck sweaters while the auto-erotic-asphyxiate themselves to the latest U2 Album) is one of the few actual improvements to the UI. Now I can actually get around the shitty OSX interface in a comparable amount of time. (Oh and hey Jobs; Thanks for stealing Alt+Tab.) And: Quicksilver + Applescript/Automator. It's about time some responsible Mac programmers got a fucking brain and gave keyboard jockey's around OSX. Now I can actually do things without the fucking mouse, like on a legitimate !NIX/Windows Operating System. I mean, with out Quicksliver, I might actually have to waste 10 - 20 seconds of my life navigating to the "applications" folder to find what I need. Now that I've programed menial tasks such as "emptying the trash", and "batch resize" and "syncing folders" with Automator. I spend less time fucking with apples shitty interface and more time getting work done. Oh, spotlight isn't all that bad either, At least I can find shit on a Mac now. Long story short, Mac's are bearable now, and I think Jobs and I are at an agreement on a few things... ... But the iPhone is still gay. Just thought I would say that. |
So how exactly does one go
So how exactly does one go about using the Automator and Quicksilver to empty one's trash bin? Is it easier then command+shift+delete to Empty Trash or command+option+shift+delete to Empty Trash (without confirmation dialog).
Watch out, Mac Users on the attack!
OS X Keyboard Shortcuts
But you have to clicked on
But you have to clicked on finder to do it. otherwise, that's a shortcut for a bunch of other programs like firefox.
So I just made a script to do it for me, and all i have to do is type "Tras" to empty the trash, even when i'm in photoshop, or after effects, or Entorage, etc. Without leaving the keyboard. I Know i could just alt tab to finder, but I just prefer it this way
also the sync folders thing was a HUGE deal for me.
