Audio post-it notes applescript (needs sox)

Hi guys:
I have made an audio notes applescript and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in grabbing a copy. If so, I will upload it on my site.
It needs homebrew and sox.

What the script does is the following:
1. Play an alert sound to signify start of recording (comes on all macs by default).
2. Run sox, a command line audio player and recorder, and watch for sound. Once you start speaking, it will start recording.
3. If you stop speaking for more than 1.5 seconds , it will stop recording and play another default alert sound.
4. Then, it saves to the desktop as 20180109-hour.minute.second.aiff, 20180901 being the current date.

That way you can just quicklook into your audio post its and see if you have to buy deodorant, a boxof chocolates or whatever.
It does not trigger on mac computer fan etc so you can use your internal mic no problems.
Of course if you have very loud background audio you might have issues but I don't know, haven't tested under these conditions, maybe I could set it to a maximum of 30 seconds just in case.

Lemme know if you guys are interested.
