Test post from my Nokia 770.

I am still working on a script that will allow a user to send a task to TextMate from QuickSilver. Adam Potthast sent a good example, but I’d like to add some functionality to the script. Specifically, I want the script to figure out what project and what context to assign to the task. So far, I have a long way to go.

I have tweaked the active list view to not show “wait” tasks. I think this helps me focus on what I need to do now. As always, feedback is highly encouraged.

Well, I sent an update to the repository last night that I think really improved the GTD bundle experience. On the geeky end of things, I converted the sorting code to use string comparisons instead of “grepping.” On the (slightly) less geeky side, it is now easier for a user to add custom contexts, and the report sorts better. You can get it by following the instructions here.

I’ve been pretty busy lately, and when I get home I still have a lot to do. I bought TextMate about a month ago as a better editor for learning Cocoa. Then I found that it’s plugin features make it great for customization, and it had a bundle called TODO, which is a tool for commenting code. Since then I’ve been building a GTD bundle for TextMate. It started as something for me, but I added it to the TextMate repository, and it has garnered some interest. Look for a more detailed write-up as my next post.

My review of HoudahSpot as seen on MacZOT.com

I haven’t had a chance to do too much with it, but it seems like a better Spotlight.

Pzizz sounds like an interesting piece of software, and I plan to try it out. Here are the BlogZOT! details:
