Comment and replies on Fluid:
just come back to this app after noting that 1Password is going to support it and the current feature list is really impressive. wow! lot's has happened since I last commented
Developer works like a madman: Fluid updates pop-up on a regular basis. He seems really committed, and currently works on it for free. Apple themselves believe in Site Specific Browsers since they have announced a related feature for the next version of Safari in OS X 10.6. Remarkable work, this is.

Sucks.
sucks big time
This has been replaced by AIM (aka AIM.app) at http://osx.iusethis.com/app/aim (a complete rewrite supporting Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard - universal binary).
Comment and replies on Quicksilver:
This is what spotlight should have been!! The best demonstration of the power of OSX!!!
Anyone know what happened to blacktree.com? Reinstalled Quicksilver but have no plugins and no updates. Seems the server has been down for the past few days.
There's a post here, but no further information afaik at the moment: http://www.43folders.com/forum/2007/10/26/blacktree-account-suspendedanyone-know-about#comments
so no word yet on when they're going to be back up and running? i downloaded QS from a mirror, but without being able to install any plugins, it's not nearly as useful.
Quicksilver is now open source: http://code.google.com/p/blacktree-alchemy/
have you noticed the App site has changed it's structure ?
simply: http://blacktree.com/
If you want to download plugins, you'll need the latest version, ß53.
Open Source Qucksilver. The glove has fallen. The wind has changed. This app will be around forever. Good call!
essential app.
After using this app for several weeks with the Constellaton plug-in, I truly am a believer in Quicksilver.
The homepage should be changed to http://www.blacktree.com/
Wish Arne & Marcus could put up an "I love/hate this" button. Sure, Quicksilver is pretty nifty. It also is the most likely offender whenever my computer starts behaving badly. Today Safari started hanging on what a sample revealed to be an ABAcquireFileLock call. After a while I noticed Mail was hanging as well, with the cryptic message "searching for sender's image" in the activity window.
Looking in the Console I noticed the error "Couldn't reopen AddressBook database. Home directory may not be ready or is missing" was repeated every second. It took some time googling (on Firefox, since Safari wouldn't start) before I found this article naming Quicksilver as the culprit. Killing with extreme prejudice solved the situation. From now on I think I'll stick to Butler which does 99% of the same thing without the hassle.
Pressing Cmd-Space and having Spotlight pop up now feels just wrong. Quicksilver integrates itself into every process of your Mac if you want it to, and it feels like another part of the OS. Couldn't live without it; trust me, I tried.

This little app is shaping up to be pretty impressive.
