Hi there;

My scripting skills are crap right now, attempting to do something that I believe, should be really simple

Trying to open a URL like

http://example.com/{Current-Year-As-A-Two-Digit-Number}/{Current-Month--As-A-Two-Digit-Number}/{Current-Day-As-A-Two-Digit-Number}/

in Google Chrome

I found this

open -a /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app http://example.com/

but I have no idea how to append the date stuff, any help you can provide - I'd greatly appreciate it

Might be interesting to move the items into deskdrawer via dated folders so you could restore the desktop files from Yesterday, or March 25th, etc.

Are you getting the script to open those urls? It would probably work better at the command line to use curl and hit those. Python and several other languages have ways to accomplish this as well

Haven't been able to get it to work within alfred - I was able to do shell script ... via applescript but it only worked via applescript editor, 

I know - we have a bunch of spotify workflows, my studio has a dedicated mac mini that is running 'Reign' allowing control via a web browser on the same network (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/reign-for-spotify/id553794498?mt=12)

it's free, somewhat ugly to look at, but it works really really well - I'd love to be able to control it via Alfred - it's a very simple from a browser - or a php script, but I can't get alfred to hit the end points without opening a browser (which isn't what I want)

The endpoints are quite simple

just great

any chance we can add a time stamp to each item?
