I sat down at my mac tonight and was greeted with a huge update for Quicksilver

As you can see this there are updates to the menu interface as well as many of my favorite modules. This is fantastic support for a program that is not only free, but that is also NOT open source. I don’t know for sure, but I think it is one person handling all this development. Amazing.

Now I can’t wait to figure out what this update does.

If you can’t tell, I am a heavy user of Quicksilver. It is far superior to Spotlight for cataloging, searching and finding documents. If you are a Del.icio.us user then here is a QS tip to allow you to search your own bookmarks AND TAGS!

Select the “Del.icio.us” plugin from the preference window of Quicksilver
Now go to the preferences pane and choose “Catalog”
Add your delicious bookmarks as a new catalog

Entire your user name and password into the catalog settings
You’re done
Now you can bookmark at work using your Del.icio.us account and be able to search it on your mac at home. Life is good.

I received this email today from Apple:
Dear Apple Customer:
Apple has determined that certain lithium-ion rechargeable batteries containing cells manufactured by Sony Corporation of Japan pose a safety risk that may result in overheating. The affected batteries were sold worldwide, in systems and separately, from October 2003 through August 2006 for use with the following computers: 12-inch iBook G4, 12-inch PowerBook G4, 15-inch PowerBook G4.

Apple is voluntarily recalling the affected batteries and has initiated a worldwide exchange program to provide you with a new replacement battery, free of charge. This program is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and other international safety authorities.

Issue: The affected batteries could overheat, posing a fire hazard. Apple received nine confirmed reports in the United States of these batteries overheating. Apple urges you to stop using your battery and to order a replacement battery immediately. After removing the recalled battery from the iBook or PowerBook, you should plug in the AC adapter to power the computer until a replacement battery arrives.

Product: Please use the chart below to identify the battery model and serial numbers that apply to your iBook or PowerBook. If the first 5 digits of your battery’s 12-digit serial number fall within the noted ranges, please order a replacement battery immediately. To view the model and serial numbers labeled on the bottom of the battery, you must remove the battery from the computer. The battery serial number is printed in black or dark gray lettering beneath a barcode.

No other Apple notebook computers are affected by this recall.

Note: If your battery’s serial number does not match any of the ranges listed above, you do not have to exchange your battery.

Unfortunately my 17″ Powerbook is not included
