From now until March 18th, I am challenging you find creative ways to help Village Science and The Language Project — two groups assisting students in Luang Prabang, Laos…. and offering prizes to those making the greatest impact!

When meritocracy exists in this world, it is only because human beings have made sure that good works were supported — and that kind people were encouraged. No one person on their own can make the world into a decent place.

In the end, it’s up to all of us. People have to make it happen.

I am grateful to know so many interesting, talented people — and I’ve met many of them through this website! I’m now asking them — and you — to help me raise money and awareness for two very special groups in Laos.

So with the generous support and encouragement of friends and readers like you, I am announcing the “Help In Your Own Way Giveaway”!

A Public Beta of a New AppleScript, including new features like HTML Email Support, Better Attachment Handling, MailTags Support, and Easier to Configure Features (Tag Entry On/Off, Default Tags/Notebooks).

UPDATED — April 2, 2012

A new version of the Apple Mail to Evernote script has been released which works around the bits of AppleScript that Apple broke in 10.7+!

I’ve left the older beta versions posted below for people who want to look at the MailTags code in them (I’ve removed this functionality from the new script)

Don’t forget to check out the other stuff in the Veritrope.com Code Library — it’s filled with other helpful AppleScripts, including many more for Evernote!

Delicious to Evernote AppleScript Lets You Keep Tags and Dates Intact While Importing!

As has been widely reported today, Yahoo is discontinuing the Delicious social bookmarking service. (UPDATE: Delicious now says that service will continue while they look for someone to buy them.)

I’ll leave the in-depth postmortem to others — but I will point out that there are any number of good options to replace Delicious (the most obvious being Pinboard).

Mac users can also import their links into many popular note-taking apps via AppleScript, and I wanted to mention that I’m hosting one such script project here:

Delicious to Evernote AppleScript (Keeping Tags and Dates)

It’s still an early version, but it does offer the added benefit of allowing you to keep your tags and date information. Give it a try — and feel free to pitch in with any improvements if you think of any (especially if you know a little AppleScript!)

Don’t use Evernote? It’s free and easy to try — but AppleScript also makes it easy to adapt the code to whatever app you’re using! And if you do, don’t forget to share it with your fellow Mac users here in our Code Library!
