As a quick note, I use code like this in my Mac/Java/Scala applications to determine where I can put my application data files on a user’s Mac OS X filesystem:
Hello, new Amazon Echo. And sadly, “Goodbye, Sarah”. Actually, I say that somewhat jokingly. I’ve come to appreciate that Sarah III has a large output display, because it gets boring listening to a computer voice sometimes, especially when it’s reading stocks and news reports.
In yesterday’s post titled, How to execute AppleScript from a Java or Scala application, I shared the following Scala method, which isn’t very functional:
Maybe the press/media just likes to post photos of this of Jay Cutler, but after I’ve seen so many of these, I had to think today that maybe Jay Cutler hates his job, and needs to get out of football.
If you ever wanted to see how easy it is to create a form using the JGoodies FormLayout, this code shows a simple example:
I just learned that there is a wild animal sanctuary here in Colorado, about 30 miles east from my location.
If you ever need to execute AppleScript from a Java or Scala application, this code shows how to solve the programming part of this problem.
Given an AppleScript command as a Scala multiline string, like this:
// press the `fn` key twice
val asCommand = """
tell application "System Events"
key code 63
key code 63
end tell
"""
you can execute that command by calling this executeAppleScriptCommand method:
Yeah, go ahead and insert a Windows disk into something there. (image from twitter)

I used the following Scala source code to build a semi-transparent dialog (a Java JFrame, actually) for the second version of Sarah:
Why don’t more people work as programmers? Content from Quora (via Forbes).
A clever addition to the Chicago Cubs logo, following the hiring of new manager Joe Maddon.
I don’t know the original source of this, but I just saw it on a friend’s Facebook page. Very clever, especially if you live in a cold area (Alaska, or the mountains here in Colorado come to mind), where they’ll last a few days.
