Rename inbound faxes using a folder action script
Authored by: robg on Oct 23, '06 09:54:50PM

There is a cycle here, and it clearly is tied to Apple's OS X release schedule. There are, after all, a finite number of true "hints" about a given OS release and the associated software. After six years of this, I can say that the number of such tips is large, but definitely finite. So for a period of time, roughly nine to tweleve months after a release, there are lots of "pure hints" related to the OS.

But as 12 months turns into 18 or 24, the finite population has pretty much been picked clean, putting the site into a bit of a different mode. If it were just pure hints, we'd end up running one hint every couple of weeks. So instead, I try to continue publishing interesting and potentially useful things, but yes, they're not pure hints. That's because there just aren't that many left. We've dug through most of the haystack that is 10.4 by now and found nearly all the needles, though every so often someone finds a new "pure hint" tidbit.

But such is the beauty of the web and RSS that you don't have to read here if you don't find the content interesting -- just scan the headlines and if nothing is of interest, then check again tomorrow (or don't). If you really just want the pure hints, then don't check back again until sometime in April-ish, when 10.5 ships.
