Automated development environment startup

Here's a little AppleScript I use to get my development environment up and running. It launches iTerm, gets the server running, creates a new tab in my project root, launches a TextMate project and starts CocoaMySQL.
The AppleScript:
1 tell application "iTerm"
2 set PROJECT_DIR to "cd /YOUR/RAILS/PROJECT/DIR >"
3
4 tell the last terminal
5
6 activate current session
7
8 tell the last session
9 set name to "Server"
10 write text PROJECT_DIR
11 write text "clear"
12 write text "script/server"
13 end tell
14
15 launch session "Default Session"
16 tell the last session
17 set name to "Project"
18 write text PROJECT_DIR
19 write text "clear"
20 end tell
21
22 end tell
23 end tell
24
25 tell application "Finder"
26 activate
27 open document file "MyProject.tmproj" of folder "Desktop"
of folder "myusername" of folder "Users" of startup disk
28
29 end tell
30
31 tell application "Finder"
32 activate
33 open application file "CocoaMySQL.app" of folder
"Applications" of startup disk
34 end tell You can create your own AppleScripts with the OS X Script Editor application. (in Applications -> AppleScript)
