WiFiScriptor

Version 0.1:
- Initial Release

Note to mods: Dont know where this really belongs :S

Description:
This tiny little utility will allow a user to assign AppleScripts to any wireless network, all you need is to know the SSID of the networks and well some resources on scripting with AppleScript (examples to come soon)

Some uses for this:
Welcome message on joining networks
Automated backup solutions that require network connectivity
Mounting network drives automatically depending on network
The list goes on

Notes:
LICENSE - The license for this application is yet to be settled so for now it is licensed as closed source, how ever is still donation ware.
GFX - The icons are unfortunately stolen from growl and "Network Utility" and are used for place holders, if someone is willing to help create some icons for this handy little utility please PM me

ToDo:
- Clean up notification register
- Implement search bar
- Make windows appear on top
- Replace icons

Download NOW
(I take no responsibility for any damage that may result from use of this utility)

Posting your website address may get some response instead of just a download link.

Didnt think about that but heres the link to the site : http://semaja2.net/wifiscriptorinfo/

I would really appreciate feedback on the interface, as well as the obvious bug reports that are usual of any app

It looks nice from the screenshot alone.

I might give this a spin to kick-off an rsync when I connect to my network, although I'm pretty certain I don't need to do it every time. There was a thread a while back where the guy was trying to setup an auto-rsync and was trying to figure-out how to do it upon attaching to a network. This would be perfect for that.
