Using Scripter's Scrapbook?

If you are, you'll be happy to know that entries that are listed below under the

column indicates that this code is mirrored on Scripter's Scrapbook Online Scrapbook for easier downloading and integration with your Scrapbook (the entries are listed as "STS-CK").

And if you're not, why not? Scripter's Scrapbook is an awesome tool for managing code not only from LiveCode, but from other develoment environments, as well as keeping track of links, notes, pictures, and can even embed attachments to individual entries! At $35 USD, it certainly pays for itself, and a 30-day download is available. I strongly recommend that you should check it out!
