    Lower threshold links to stuff I wouldn’t want you to miss. It’s been quite a while since we’ve done some shorties, so what the heck. [ Inquisitor] Inquisitor 3. Spotlight for the web. - I tried Inquisitor when it first came out, and, for some reason, it didn’t move me. But now, I love its smartypants, mind-reader replacement for Safari’s search bar. Sogudi is still my first love for ad hoc location bar searches, but the ability to add custom search engines to Inquisitor is hot hot hot. Free as in beer, too ...

    009: Interview: Jeffrey Veen, Part 2 | The Merlin Show Click To Play In this second segment of our interview with Jeffrey Veen (here’s the previous one), Jeff talks about making the best of meetings (and the time around them), lofi capture, and the beauty of simple tools — including both paper and UNIX apps.

    10 days ago

    Enabling Quicksilver proxies and application menus | Celsius1414 Robert Daeley has posted an excellent appendix to yesterday’s screencast on Quicksilver proxies. Because, like most Quicksilver power users, I run the app in full-bore, bleeding-edge mode with all the plug-ins installed, I tend to leave out some of the rubber-chicken-waving that new users need to go through to make advanced features work properly. Robert picks up the slack nicely with this swell tutorial. Many thanks! ...

    008: HOWTO: Quicksilver: Application Menus | The Merlin Show Click To Play Many of the most diehard Quicksilver fans don’t know “proxy objects” even exist. Proxies are a sexy way to build actions and triggers around abstract QS items such as “Current Application,” “Finder Selection,” “Album Now Playing,” and even meta-stuff like “Last Command” and “Quicksilver Selection.” By making a trigger to “Show Menu Items” in the “Current Application,” you can get Quicksilver-based access to almost any pull-down menu in a given OS X app ...
