So after reinstalling OSX (which seemed to be my only recourse to get the abd sector problem resolved), I decided to look and see if there is something like Salling Clicker that only does the proximity part (which is all that I used).  I found the aptly named Proximity and it perfectly fits the bill.

Unfortunately the Proximity website doesn’t have any applescripts for you to use, so I had to write my own, and I thought I’d write them down here for you lovely readers to use.  I found some part of these at the Technocrat blog.

In Range Script:
-- iTunes
--
tell application "iTunes"
play
end tell
-- Adium
--
tell application "Adium"
go available with message ""
end tell
-- Sync the phone (if not synced in the last 60 minutes)
--
tell application "iSync"
if last sync is less than ((current date) - 3600) then synchronize
end if
end tell
tell application "System Events" to set visible of process "iSync" to false

Out of Range Script:
-- iTunes
--

tell application “iTunes”
if player state is playing then
pause
end if
end tell

– Adium
–
tell application “Adium”
go away with message “I’m not near my computer”
end tell

I became interested in this because I started to write an extension for Firefox 2 to display all of the websites I work on that are in development — the overhead was far too much for the return, so I stopped working on it.

Luckily, with Firefox 3, the places infrastructure allows me to do this very easily.  For instance this bookmark will list out all of the items in your history, sorted recently visited first, that contain the text ’staging’.  Quite handy.

I’m sure there is a better way to do this.  I tried the uri parameter, but it kept crashing Firefox.  In any case, it’s a nice addition, and another testament to SQLite’s applicability to many areas of web and application development.
