SCRIPTEASE: Computer Bondage & Automation

When you're chained to a desk and slaving over a project, it's easy to forget
that we are still masters of the machine world. Even when your own workflow runs
smoothly, having to update someone else's project always leads to extra
headaches, and that weirdly-formatted content from your client always leads to
extra work.

Take control by forcing your computer to do the gruntwork while you take the
credit. Jamie Ciocco, whose interest in programming began when he was first
asked to paste a thousand graphics into a presentation, will share creative
techniques for automating web and multimedia production on Mac and PC:

* Textual healing: multi-file search, grep, and other tools for taming text
* Scripting secrets: supercharging actions in Fireworks and Photoshop
* Extracting information: making your machine give up the goods
* Pimping your tools: teaching your old apps new tricks to make your job easier
