Hi, my name is Ryan and... and I am an info-junkie.
Hi Ryan!
I use NetNewsWire (pro) to read my newsfeeds. Too many newsfeeds. I've got 178 feeds currently tho that fluctuates. I've got them grouped into prioritized groups so I can focus on certain ones more than others, like "ruby" vs "ruby-bored". I know that's not good... but... That works pretty well, actually.
Why I'm really here... my real problem... From these feeds, I queue up even more. Like, I read wiki update feeds and queue up whole pages to read for later. Loads of them. 132 of them right now. I'm weak. I know it. I gotta know! But since I can't group them the way I can the feeds, I'd like SOME way to bring some order out of chaos...
sort_nnw_tabs.rb
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby -w
require 'enumerator'
Dir.chdir File.expand_path("~/Library/Application Support/NetNewsWire") do
path = "BrowserTabs.plist"
raise $? unless system "plutil -convert xml1 #{path}"
file = File.read(path)
lines = file.split(/\n/)
head, meat, tail = lines[0..3], lines[4..-3].enum_slice(6).to_a, lines[-2..-1]
body = head + meat.sort_by { |subarray| subarray[-2] } + tail
File.open(path, 'w') do |f|
f.puts body.join("\n")
end
raise $? unless system "plutil -lint #{path}"
raise $? unless system "plutil -convert binary1 #{path}"
end
Quit NNW, fire this puppy up, and run NNW and now your 40 tabs of wiki pages are all grouped together...
Hey... where'd everybody go?
