I have been poking at things all day: getting my calendar for the semester sorted, running little errands, cleaning up my filesystem… all just getting ready for the year, really.
I just downloaded Quicksilver. This nifty little app lets me hit CTRL-space, and then I can start typing the name of an application, URL, or any of a host of other bits of information. So, for example, to launch iChat, I hit CTRL-space, start typing “icha”, and hit return.
It also indexes all my bookmarks and the address book; this way, I can do CTRL-space, start typing something from a URL (either the title or URL itself), and it will launch a browser to that page.
Nifty.
