What has Macro Scheduler got to do with Zebra fish? Well, it seems Macro Scheduler was used to automate some of the experiments written about in this book: The Zebrafish: Cellular and Developmental Biology

Amazing huh? Macro Scheduler has been used for all sorts of incredible things. Unfortunately I’m not always able to get permission to write about them and often I have no idea what people use Macro Scheduler for at all. If you have put Macro Scheduler to some novel uses I’d be thrilled to hear about it. Let me know.

I know that Macro Scheduler is used by Sirius Satellite Radio for automatically inserting audio files into radio broadcasts, and on a similar note the BBC has used it for automatically uploading recently recorded programs onto their website. A well known high street bank in the UK installed Macro Scheduler in their branches to simplify a process for the counter clerks that involved pulling information from one legacy system and typing it into another. Another bank uses Macro Scheduler to automate the production of financial reports every morning. It’s great to know how Macro Scheduler helps so many different kinds of businesses.

I remember learning of a very elaborate experiment at NASA which used Macro Scheduler. Now, Macro Scheduler macros can be made very reliable, but whether or not they went as far as to use Macro Scheduler for the Shuttle’s auto-pilot system I have no idea ….
