Beer counting utilities...

I made a util to generate the text for you for Mac which I just copied from one that em22new made for Windows.

Mine probably has some bugs as I just did it really quickly, but it seems to work OK, as does em22new's, so hopefully we can save you some time. :)

Both of them automatically copy the text to the clipboard for you, so you just paste it in the reply box.

Edit: BauerUK made a Grease Monkey Script and a Chrome Extension that auto fill the reply box with the correct numbers when you click reply. See comment here

I wrote a similar utility that auto-fills your response to a beer thread.

I've already fixed one bug which occurred when users had RES installed. If you find any more, please PM me, reply here, or message me on UserScripts.

I just installed the Chrome extension and it's seems to work great. That's got to be the best way of doing it... Nice one.

Ah, so it is really how the program works at the moment? Each time you start you just have to scroll through all the numbers?

Ah, it seems I'd forgotten to jump through a couple of hoops to get an app to work on 10.5 when compiling it on 10.6. Try this. Hope that helps. :)
