i was seriously considering replacing launchy with dash. it’s not opensource, and it does cost $20, but it has some nice plugins. honestly i wish quicksilver would start doing linux and windows clients already. macos only? booo. check that video out if you’re curious what you can do with dash or what a quicksilver replacement for windows looks like. just don’t expect to get that level of functionality from the trial though.

hrm. i was hoping that when i added del.icio.us to my content on lijit that it would allow me to search through my del.icio.us tags. yeah, nope. atleast not yet. checking out the del.icio.us api it allows you access to the following methods :
- Update – Check to see when a user last posted an item.
- Tags – Get a list of tags, rename them.
- Posts – Get a list of posts, add, delete.
- Bundles – Get bundles, create and delete.
hrm. nothing about searching. there is a del.icio.us tag search which allows you to add up to 7 tags and 1 username to search. searching del.icio.us isn’t that hard but i really do want an all in one search solution. i think i am going to keep playing with lijit, although right now the stats you can gather on there are more impressive than the actual search.
and i really need to clean up my del.icio.us tags.
i’m finally caught up with all of dave wellington’s serial novels.
- frostbite ( werewolves )
- monster island ( zombie trilogy, part1 )
- monster nation ( zombie trilogy, part2 )
- monster planet ( zombie trilogy, part3 )
- 13 bullets (vampires )
- plague zone ( zombies )
each serial novel is 60 chapters long. the first five in the list are already done, and you can read them online for free or buy a printed version of the serial. plague zone is currently up to chapter 40, and it’s still being written on a daily basis. one of the best parts of david’s serials is the fact that readers are encouraged to leave comments.
i probably read 80% of his works on my tmobile wing. either from bed, my couch, poolside, or even in various airports. and i didn’t have to spend a dollar or go to a library to pick up a book. but then again not everyone wants to sit on their phone or computer to read a book. if you’re looking for some well written horror novels, now you know where to go.
