Damn easy! (well at least on a Mac, running OS 10.5.7) Hehe, soon more to come…

All fine for me, except my external USB soundcard Terratec Aureon 5.1 can’t be volume controlled anymore – strange!? Any idea what’s wrong?

[update - solved!]
Apparently downgrading the USB Sound kernel back to 10.5.6 Version solves the issue. See the comments and the Apple Discussion-board for more… Thx to sonderpop for that hint!

I just wrote my frist AppleScript. For displaying the buddypicture of my Address Book contacts in Adium, I had to copy the ICQ entry to a new Jabber enrty with appending “@jit.jabber.fsinf.de”. The code follows:

tell application "Address Book"
set thePeople to every person whose ICQ handles is not {} and Jabber handles is {}
repeat with eachPerson in thePeople
set icqnr to value of ICQ handles of eachPerson
set jabberid to (item 1 of icqnr) & "@jit.jabber.fsinf.de"
make new Jabber handle at end of Jabber handles of eachPerson with properties {label:"Home", value:jabberid}
end repeat
save addressbook
end tell

It worked out fine. Now I see you all in my buddylist ;-)
