• 11.22.07 C6 Top Mac Apps 2007: Geeking Out posted in Geekery

  There are some things that normal people (the ones who spend less than 50% of their lives in front of a computer) just don’t need to know about. These probably fall into that list. For the rest of you, here are some of my favorite highlights from the “Geekery” world:

• 11.13.07 WikityWidget: Easiest Wiki Ever posted in Geekery

  I discovered it quite by accident. I was scrolling through Quicksilver plugins and found one for WicketyWidget. WTF? I followed a link and found what appeared to be an outdated page for a Tiger only widget. I took a chance and installed it anyway. In combination with Quicksilver, I’m absolutely loving it…

• 11.10.07 Path Finder, Lost and Found posted in Geekery

  This post was originally going to be about how I had decided to part ways with Path Finder and free up a little extra CPU/RAM for myself. There were some improvements in Finder that I was pretty psyched about, and I figured out workarounds with Quicksilver for a lot of the things I missed most about Path Finder. And then, tonight, a new release from Cocoatech brings me running joyfully back. I absolutely love developers who are as excited to stay on top of new technology as I am :). I’ll share some of my Quicksilver solutions in a second, but first, here’s what’s new in Path Finder…

• 10.21.07 MoodBlast with Applescript Goodness posted in Geekery

  MoodBlast now has Applescript support. That means you can use all of its functionality from any program that supports Applescript. If you have a program to monitor track changes in iTunes, you can use that as well. And you can blast from Quicksilver with this simple action…

• 10.19.07 Reverse Shortened URLs with Quicksilver posted in Geekery

  This is a quickie I created whilst working on something else. It allows you to copy a shortened url (urltea, tinyurl, etc.) and hit a key combo to display it’s destination URL in large type. It could be modified to do a few other things such copying back to the clipboard and could take input in ways other than the clipboard. It’s essentially just a shell command and doesn’t even have to use applescript or quicksilver. Anyway…

• 8.11.07 MoodSwing 2 and Qurl Clipboard posted in Geekery

  After being featured at TUAW yesterday and getting a few comments, I decided to take a closer look at MoodSwing. I’ve added a few new @keywords, more Skype support, Jaiku support, and the ability to clear out your mood message on your chat clients…

• 8.9.07 Getting Moody with Skype posted in Geekery

  Here’s my fun project for the evening. It’s more than likely that this has been done a million times, but I was bored and wanted the mental exercise, so here’s the result. Moody is a little action for Quicksilver that will let you type your status and mood string and send it to Skype in one fell swoop…

• 6.30.07 Quick iGTD Next Actions with Quicksilver posted in Geekery

  I started digging through the sqlite3 database for iGTD to see what fun I could have with it. Here’s a little ruby script that, in combination with quicksilver, will pop up a large type window of your top 5 next actions…

• 6.21.07 My Personal iGTD posted in Geekery

  I get a lot of searches coming in related to iGTD. So, inspired by a recent article on 43 Folders, I decided to offer a few of my own tricks for working with what I consider to be one of the best GTD apps for the mac.

• 6.3.07 Subversion and Quicksilver posted in Geekery

  Okay, you probably already knew this, but I just figured it out. I was looking for a simple way to add and commit files to a subversion repository right from Path Finder. After playing with a lot of applescript nonsense, I finally discovered that with the Subversion Module installed in Quicksilver you can just invoke quicksilver with the current selection (⌃-⌥-space, unless you’ve modified the trigger) and type sv(n) to get a menu of Subversion commands to run on the selection. Status, Add, Commit, Log and Update are all available (with Growl support). The file actions (rm, cp, mv) are not available, but it does what I generally need to do. I’d probably prefer not to be able to delete files with an accidental keystroke, considering the speed at which Quicksilver works. So, for those using SVN for web development (or any other use), this is a great way to quickly check the status of a file/directory, add new files, and make a commit with a message. As a speed-related note, get used to typing svst, sva, and svc for quick access to the most used commands.
