My Mac needs…

My mac needs:

  • A way to sync files with my bluetooth phone
  • A way to download all my photos from my bluetooth phone and import them into iPhoto
  • A way to lock the screen and run some Applescript without worrying that my script is going to crash, or take too long to actually lock the screen
  • A way to run scheduled tasks when I wake from sleep if they missed their time slot
  • A GTD ticker that integrates with a GTD program to show me the current task (or three) for the current context
  • A way to use the spelling context menus with the keyboard
  • A way to control modem dialing from Quicksilver
  • A way to control VPN connections from Quicksilver
  • A way to pipe the output of commands on remote terminals to the local clipboard without using a mouse or the clunky arrow-key highlighting thing

… among other things

Update: Added point about copying to clipboard from remote machines

    I ought to write a Dashboard widget to grab the next actions from Remember the Milk (my preferred GTD service). The only problem is that I’d have to take time away from the things I’m actually doing to write a script to tell me what I ought to be doing.
