“About us” plug-ins

About us is a collection of plug-ins for Apple’s Address Book. The About us plug-ins augment the standard functions provided by Address Book for date and address fields. For a date, About us will compute the person’s age (birthday) and the duration since an event (anniversary). It will also offer to open iCal to the date of the next birthday or anniversary. For an address, it will offer to open the default browser to the weather report for the zip code in the address.

The download includes an installer, documentation, and source. Installation instructions that do not require the installer are included. The About us plug-ins are distributed under the new BSD license.

Requirements

I have tested the plug-ins with OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and 10.5 (Leopard). There is no obvious reason why they won't work with 10.6 (Snow Leopard), but I haven't tested them yet. No one has reported success or failure with these plug-ins under OS X 10.3 (Panther) or 10.2 (Jaguar). I'll update this information as I receive reports of whether they run under other OS versions.
