This page contains links to various scripts and other add-ons I've developed for ConnectedText.
What's New? (updated April 3, 2009)
With Google discontinuing their support for their page creator, I'm not sure how long this site will be available. For up-to-date ConnectedText scripts and discussion, please consult the official ConnectedText forum -- I post new scripts there. As for my projects and what-not, feel free to check out my blog and my Twitter feed. If I create a new ConnectedText Scripts repository on my personal site, I'll be sure to announce it in the CT forums.
Massive Disclaimer!
I am not a Python guru by any stretch of the imagination. I'm learning. My focus here is to provide a jumping-off point for other ConnectedText users with a hankering to write Python code; if you have any suggestions as to how to improve the scripts here please send them my way. I'm grateful for any tips.
As I add new scripts, I'll most likely comment on them in my blog, which is also a good place for feedback.

Ruby Scripts
Considering Ruby as your scripting language of choice for ConnectedText? There is a typo in the default "Welcome" ConnectedText project documentation regarding the URL for ActiveScriptRuby...the correct address is http://arton.hp.infoseek.co.jp/. I had some earlier problems with the latest version, but I suspect that may be due to accidentally installing "regular" Ruby first. My issues aside, ActiveScriptRuby 1.8.5.1 should work for you!
- Custom RSS Feed Parsing - Similar to the Python script above
- Database Access - Another conversion of the Python script above
