Adam Merrifield

a picture of me
I am a web designer, theme designer, professional photographer and internet personality. I make many pretty things and I write a lot of content for the internet.

I am one of those guys that, because of the industry I am in, need to be connected at all times. At any given moment you'll find me posting on a forum, updating with twitter, Digging things worthy of attention, uploading pictures, or tagging cool sites.

here i am

seyDoggy Systems:
This is home base, the corporate headquarters, the hub, if you will, seyDoggy.com.

seyDesign news:
these are the RapidWeaver related posts that originally appear in the seyDesign.com blog

Uploads from seyDoggy:
these are the pictures that I upload to flickr

Merrifield Photography:
as a professional photographer I my camera ready at Merrifield-Photography.com.

delicious.com/seydoggy:
these are the websites I want to share or revisit later on. I just tag them on delicious.com.

what i am

I am the owner and operator of seyDoggy Systems, a small theme, code and design outfit based in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. We primarily develop web based technologies but have begun to dabble in the desktop realm.

what i do

I code like a fool. I design like a fool. I am happiest when I can split my time between the two (though I tire of Photoshop faster then I do TextMate or Terminal), and somehow I have managed to etch out a living doing so.

Sunday Morning Snack, originally uploaded by seyDoggy.

Sunday morning is a time for mom and dad to tackle some chores and projects but it only takes a little sun and childish wonder to get me to pause and enjoy what Sunday means to the girls.

Bathed in Sunday morning light, the girls enjoy a self chosen snack of BearPaws.

Bunny Escapes Zoo – 2004

Bunny Escapes Zoo - 2004
Bunny Escapes Zoo – 2004, originally uploaded by seyDoggy.

Years ago a bunch of bunnies managed to get free of their pen at the Waterloo Park. For quite some time after (and I am sure still today) you could find the bunnies — now feral — roaming about many of the public green spaces within a few kilometers of the park. Quite used to humans being around, you could often have these critters chewing grass at your feet while you ate your lunch on the city hall lawn.

This was shot in May 2004 on Fujifilm NPH 120.

RapidWeaver Add-ons Version Identifier

RapidWeaver Add-ons Version IdentifierOne thing RapidWeaver does poorly — at this current moment — is help the end user determine the product version they are using on any given 3rd party add-on. Knowing your add-ons (theme or plugin) version number is critical when asking for support and is often one of the first things the developer will ask you for.

If you know where the add-ons are kept (~/Library/Application Support/RapidWeaver/) then you might be able to determine a plugin or themes version number with the Finder, or if you have RapidWeaver open you can find out a plugin’s version by opening the plugin browser, or if you show a themes package contents and…

Well, I like to have these sorts of things at my fingertips and do as little thinking as possible, so I wrote an AppleScript to gather this information for me no matter where I am or what I am doing*:

-- file types to choose from
set rwTypeArray to {"Theme", "Plugin"}

-- choose from those file types
set rwTypeLong to {choose from list rwTypeArray ¬
    with prompt "Which RapidWeaver product type ¬
        you like to find the version of?" ¬
    with title "Theme or Plugin"} as string

-- logic from result
if rwTypeLong is "Theme" then
    set rwType to "rwtheme"
else
    set rwType to "rwplugin"
end if

-- get name of hard drive
tell application "System Events"
    set diskName to (get name of startup disk) as string
end tell

-- get name of user
set userName to (do shell script "whoami") as string

-- select file from RW directory
tell application "Finder"
    set rwFile to (choose file with prompt ¬
        "Please select your RapidWeaver " & rwTypeLong & ":" ¬
        default location (diskName & ":Users:" & userName & ¬
            ":Library:Application Support:RapidWeaver" as alias) ¬
        of type rwType without invisibles)

    -- read version number
    tell application "System Events"
        set rwInfo to (get version of the file (rwFile as string))
    end tell

    -- and display it
    if rwInfo = "" then
        display dialog ¬
            "It seems that your " & rwTypeLong & ¬
                " doesn't have a version number that I can read. ¬
                Sorry.\n\n¬
                Would you like me to reveal it's ¬
                package contents for you?" ¬
            buttons {"Cancel", "Yes"} default button (2)
        set rwPath to rwFile & "Contents" as text
        open rwPath
    else
        display dialog "The version information:\n\n" & rwInfo & ¬
            "\n\n ...has been copied to your clipboard." ¬
        buttons {"OK"} default button (1)
        -- copy to clipboard
        set the clipboard to rwInfo

    end if
end tell

Notes

* If a theme is to have it’s version number read, it must have an Info.plist in it’s package contents. Some theme developers do not include this file. For those that don’t, the script will reveal the theme’s package contents so that you can inspect the version number at the bottom of the Theme.plist file
