Want a way to lock your screen automatically when you step away from your system? If you have a Sony Ericsson T68i and Bluetooth on your Mac, then here's how:
- Download and install the Sony Ericsson Clicker
- Once installed, create an action titled "Lock Screen"
- Add this to the script section of the item you created:
tell application "ScreenSaverEngine"
activate
end tell
- Use this action as your "leave" proximity.
- Turn on password protection in the screen saver section of System Prefs.
Now as soon as you are more than 30 or so feet away from your system, the screen saver activates and asks you for a password to clear...
