Wow, Dave. In all seriousness, that's pretty win right there. Nice job. I wish I had the presence of mind to make that achievement! High-five!

Hello TUAW, how you doin' in the wonderful year of 2008, because from now on is all going downhill, but don't mind me, never mind me...

Thanks all!! but now Butler stopped working. it killed itself at midnight. any ideas of what's going on with Many Tricks and why this happened? I know it was a "transient" release but their site says nothing about a new version.

gazerbeam said 2:14AM on 1-01-2008
this is completely weird. there is a NEW transient release on the Butler website which is dated JULY, 2008 but the Butler page states it will expire on January 1, 2008. the download seems fine, but what an odd way to start the new year. sorry for the alarm!
