I have everything installed and all the paths set up correctly, but if I edit the script to use the Growl notification, I get this in the console: /Users/rcn/Applications/top5.rb:39: unknown regexp options - lcal /Users/rcn/Applications/top5.rb:39: syntax error {}%x(/usr/local/bin/growlnotify -m #{Escape.shell_command(output)} -t "Top 5 Next Actions" -s -a "iGTD") ^ 2007-07-09 04:40:15.931 Quicksilver[18572] Task failed.

I'm probably just being stupid, so feel free to let me know that. Thanks, Ryan So I’m trying to get this thing to work.
