Leo Laporte has an AppleScript he uses to time himself out for his weekend radio show as the show is syndicated and if he continues past a certain time will be cut off by commercials, and so wrote an AppleScript, hotclock.scpt, it uses Quicksilver for notifications. I thought this would be of use for any viewers/listeners of his show, and so I re-wrote the tellhost() calls in it to use Growl (to be less annoying). Here is my updated code.

I’ve taken inspiration from Leo Laporte’s “hotclock.scpt” and have developed a TWiT Army Notifier. This script requires Mac OS X, Quicksilver, and (optimally) Growl. All of this is free.

For those who are interested in Leo Laporte’s TWiT Shows will know that there is a line up of content only broadcast live: ie you cannot subscribe in iTunes, you can only see them at TWiT Live. For this reason a TWiT Army member has created the website ODTV.me. Fellow viewers record the stream, upload it to this website, and allow others to watch shows such as: Ray Maxwell’s “Maxwell’s House” on color, photography, and such (he was frequently on The Lab With Leo in Canada and Australia). Ryan Shrout’s PC Perspective video show with Leo, Ryan is the founder of PCPer.com, every Thursday Leo and Ryan meet to discus the week in PC hardware news and reviews. You can see these on Thursdays live, or thanks to ODTV.me, anytime you like.
**NOTE you can also download the live-recordings of shows which are published as podcasts.
