Vacuous Virtuoso

Joe Dunn is doing a nice series of articles on Quicksilver. He’s covered triggers and scripts so far with more on the way.

One thing I disagree with, though, is the excessive use of the “do shell script” AppleScript. I like the “Run Command in Shell” action just fine. But if you want an icon, writing an Obj-C wrapper isn’t too much work. Especially since you have this source code.

I’ve also got a bit more on Quicksilver coming up shortly.

Google Subscribed Links allows users to subscribe to XML documents provided by websites. If a subscriber then searches Google for a keyword that matches an item from the XML document, the item is displayed at the top of the results page, and highlighted.

I wrote a plugin for WordPress that allows you submit your RSS feed to Google Coop.

Another WordPress plugin. I’ve been using this on my own site for a long time and, after people encountered 404s searching for it, have decided to publish it.

Speed Cache basically takes external files such as javascript and CSS and mirrors them on your own server. I’m not going to go into detail about why you’d want to do this - you either do or you don’t. If you do, then feel free to use the plugin.

Here it is.

Support questions in the comments for now, but I’m not providing any guarantees. This post may be replaced by a proper info page about the plugin sometime in the future, but at the moment that’s unlikely.
