Scripts
During my time at Georgia Tech, I've written a number of useful scripts to simplify actions that I perform frequently. Most of these scripts are specific to Mac OS X and cannot be used on either Windows or Linux.
Printing Scripts
These printing scripts allow you to print to the GT Library, the GT Student Center, Central Printing, and the College of Computing (CoC).

Getting the Leopard version out the door would not have been possible without help from a number of respondants who helped me write the LaunchAgent plist needed. Special thanks goes to Achille Brighton and Derek Greene for providing me sample plist files to work from.
