Quicksilver, proxies, and Safari

Since reading Merlin's post here, I've been using proxies all the time!

I just updated to Leopard and have one problem: The quicksilver proxies selection doesn't seem to work in Safari, but it does everywhere else. Anyone know a workaround?

Adding Extended Tracker module?

http://drupal.org/project/xtracker has what appears to be a drop-in replacement for the regular tracker module, currently visible at http://www.43folders.com/tracker.

Or to just keep up with people signing up without having to wade through a bunch of post entries?

I have been using a very simple single sheet PDA. I dislike the amount of 'work' that some of the PDA version require...taping card together etc.. This is a bit more open to chaos and is also designed to drive reflection / modeling of the world around us.

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. »
