As I was trying to kill time, I was researching Quicksilver extendability other than just quick-launching apps. Yes, I know Spotlight does it from the get-go.
My search led to a Lifehacker.com article (as usual, with this kind of things) written a while back about Gina Trapani’s Top 10 Quicksilver Plugins (at the time: November 2007). One of the plugins that intrigued me to check out was the Shelf module/plugin.
Time is precious. I installed these utilities to save some of it:
I install bash-completion via MacPorts on my Macs.
sudo port install bash-completionI then saved this svn-completion script to locally, and did a sudo cp:
sudo cp bash_completion /opt/local/etc/bash_completion.d/svn-completion.shNote: “bash_completion” is the file linked on “svn-completion script”. I hope that avoids confusion.
Last but not least, I then installed the git-completion script. I first checked the version of Git I have via MacPorts which happens to be 1.6.0.5.1 I then saved and untarred the Git tarball of the version I have locally. Then did another sudo cp of the actual git-completion script to the same directory where my svn-completion.sh is located at:
sudo cp git-1.6.0.5/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash /opt/local/etc/bash_completion.d/git-completion.shAfter that, I added the following to to my .profile (or .bash_profile):
# for bash-completion
if [ -f /opt/local/etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /opt/local/etc/bash_completion
fi
source /opt/local/etc/bash_completion.d/svn-completion.sh
source /opt/local/etc/bash_completion.d/git-completion.shEither restart your Terminal, or re-execute your .profile, and that would do it.

I have been trying to find something like svn info but for Git. Luckily, I stumbled upon Duane Johnson’s script. Here’s git-info.sh:
I made an alias in my .profile to make it a bit more accessible:
In a recent announcement, Behance unveils its new product called Action Method (AMO). They have spent the past year designing and developing the new platform for productivity and project management.
The system is based on the “Action Method” and the design of our paper product line, but the technology itself is revolutionary. Now being beta-tested by a select group of people and teams, AMO is a web-based application that offers a radically different approach to managing projects and collaborating with others.
This Chronotebook from Muji is a fresh concept. It was designed by Wong Kok Keong (Orcadesign, in Singapore) and won a Judges’ Prize in Muji’s International Design Awards #2 (May 15 to July 31, 2007).
Diary schedules are arranged in lines and grids, which are difficult to see and has little flexibility. This notebook makes it clear, intuitive and easy to plan and see your daily schedules.
Cool Hunting’s brief write-up on it gives us a qualitative insight on how useful it can be, and how different it can be to what we have been used to:
Beige, minimal, with rounded corners and just small enough to fit in your pocket, the Chronotebook has trademark Muji aesthetic appeal. The clock, located in the center of an open page, is divided in halves by the midline of the book—the left hand white graphic represents AM, while the dark graphic on the right is PM. Not only does the layout illustrate our circadian nature but it forces you to organize tasks according to the time of day they need to be done. Overall, it’s easy to look at, simply comprehended and accomplishes a design feat by adding a small feature (a more logical way to break up your day) that has big rewards in functionality.
Anyways, thought I’d share with those of you looking for a new way to organize or log your day, etc.
