How to create simple product to attribute option value in magento

Question

I created my own attribute set in magento, let say "MyAttribSet" with a large number of option values.
How can I retrieve these values and assign/create to each one a simple product programatically? I found code sample here, but I'm missing the latter part with option values:

I'm using Magento version is 1.5.0.1

I solved the problem:

require_once 'app/Mage.php';
Mage::app('');
$attribute = Mage::getModel('eav/config')
             ->getAttribute('catalog_product', '955');
    foreach ( $attribute->getSource()->getAllOptions(true) as $option){

  //here comes the code sample (see link before)
                  .
                  .
                  .
  $product->setMyCustomAttribute($option['value']);
}
