Hi Brett,
I realized last night --the first time I tried to run this automatically -- that if the MacBook is closed, this won't run.
Duh, right?
I don't suppose there's a conditional run that could run at the appointed time or the next time it wakes up? Also, something running on a server would be no good, as this assumes local-machine updates and has no authentication.
I'm not saying all of this as a passive way of asking for these features :-) Just double-checking my new assumptions that this may not work well for me unless I keep my MBA awake and connected.
(Of course, if what the devs said on your most recent podcast about IFTTT turns out to happen, that would make a lot of this work even better.)
There is a way to get scheduled tasks that were missed to run at the next possible time, I have to look it up and will add it to the instructions.
Running on a server is feasible, but you'd have to work out the details of transmitting to your local drive, either via Dropbox or a scheduled (S)FTP task that pulled down new files and stored them using a script locally. Lots of extra setup, but I might consider trying to build a system that allowed that more easily.
