I’ve recently developed a 1Password plugin for Quicksilver that gives you the ability to open up Go & Fill items in 1Password, as well as giving you an action to ‘Go & Fill…’ directly from Quicksilver.

Toggling Caffeine with Quicksilver to keep your Mac awake
December 21st, 2009 § 3 comments § permalink

Caffeine is a tiny little app that keeps your Mac awake when needed; be it when you’re watching a video (for some reason, Adobe Flash doesn’t keep your Mac awake), reading something off your screen, or anything else.
It sits in the menu bar waiting to be summoned when needed, and dismissed just as easily.

Being the lazy type I am (thanks to the inevitable Quicksilver), dragging the mouse over to click the icon is just too much work. Below is an applescript which I run from Quicksilver with 3 key presses (I could set it as a trigger if I really wanted) and it switches it on or off, or even opens it if it’s not running.

Toggle Keyboard Viewer in Snow Leopard 10.6
December 10th, 2009 § 2 comments § permalink
Ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard, one function I’ve missed is the ability to toggle the Keyboard Viewer on and off with an applescript.
It looks like Apple modified the Keyboard Viewer utility for Mac OS X 10.6 (or a possible tablet, who knows…) and the old applescripts don’t work.

I’ve finally come across a method for getting this to work in Snow Leopard again, although it’s not as easy as it was in Leopard, and it seems to be as slow as hell to open.
