Six cool Quicksilver plugins you might not know

Just a quickie to bubble up some novel Quicksilver plugins that are new-ish or even a bit esoteric.

N.B.: Clicking the linked title of the plugin should install it if you're running a recent version of QS, although I think you should also be able to install most of these right from the Plug-ins Preferences.

  1. Cl1p Upload - Lets you upload selected text to Cl1p.net, a service for sharing clipboards between computers. (more)
  2. Image manipulation - Change an image's type, size, and more from inside QS. Check the plugin's info pane for more on the neato syntax. (more)
  3. Abracadabra triggers - Associate a mouse gesture with any command. Seems especially cool for people using pen and tablet. (more)
  4. Constellation Menus - Love it, hate it, or just find it wildly geeky and beautiful, this is kinda A1c0r's version of right-click on graphical steroids. (more and more)
  5. Flickr upload - Like it says, upload your images (with optional tags) to the Flickr photo sharing service. (more)
  6. File Tagging Module - Very sexy for Spotlight lovers. Add tags to any file from the QS panes. (more)

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
