While tinkering in Quicksilver's plug-ins panel this
morning I came across two new plug-ins that should fit right in with my new
Borg Google-infused daily
activities: a Gmail Module and a Google Calendar Module. Both are actions that allow you to type in a string of text,
then select either of these modules as an action, and off you go.
The Google Calendar module seems to use
their Quick Add syntax for adding events. For a quick tutorial on this: invoke Quicksilver and then hit period so you
can begin entering plain text. Enter something like "Apple Store Opening Saturday 10 am," then hit tab to
move to Quicksilver's second pane to chose an action. If you have the Google Calendar module installed, the action is
titled "Google Calendar Event" (using 'gcal' works just fine for me). Hitting enter will send the event, and
for bonus points, if you have Growl installed and Quicksilver using it to give notifications, you'll receive a Growl
alert upon successful completion.
The Gmail module (pictured) allows you to compose a message (or at least
part of one) using the same method as both the Google Calendar and Mail.app compose actions. Once you type some text,
tab over to chose the Gmail action, you'll receive a 3rd pane that allows you to specify an Address Book contact to
send to. Hitting enter will create a Gmail compose window with all the information you chose from Quicksilver already
inserted. Awesome.
Logic Express has been updated to version 7.2.1. This is mainly a maintenance release, tackling compatibility and reliability with the following issues:
