GTDAlt and iCal
This is what you’ve all been waiting for! GTDAlt now has a first level of synchronization with iCal.
A weblog about TextMate, the Universe, and Everything
This is what you’ve all been waiting for! GTDAlt now has a first level of synchronization with iCal.
You know the feeling, you are typing along in TextMate, creating a new blog post or whatnot, and you need to link to some web page, for instance the webpage for GeekTool. So you move over to Camino or Safari or whatnot, and do a “feeling lucky” search for it, or perhaps a google search and of course it is the top link.
But why would you have to leave TextMate to do all that? Well, you don’t have to anymore:
Dr. Drang’s recent post prompted me to finally talk about GeekTool, which I first learned about from Allan.
What does this amazing tool do? Something very simple actually, it allows you to project the results of a command, or the contents of a file, or some picture from your computer or a url, on your desktop, permanently, allowing you to also shift between different groups of such things. It’s absolutely wonderful. I now have it, in six different small windows, run a command that scans my gtdalt files for particular contexts and assembles them into a nice list, which it then shows me. So the moment I press F11, I get to see all my actions that need to be done! How cool is that, eh? Another common use is to have the output of the console there, so that you can track what is happening in your computer. Dr. Drang, and now I, uses it to have a little weather-widget kind of think of his desktop. I would kill my weather widget completely and save myself some memory, except I really like the week preview that it does. If only…

This entry is to introduce you to, and set the rules for TextMate Quiz, from now on abbreviated as TMQ. So what is TMQ?
