I am an iOS and Mac app developer from Chicago, IL who created one of the first iPhone games back in 2007 before the SDK and AppStore was created. I have since continued to work full time on developing iPhone, iPad and Mac apps.

Other than being an iOS geek, I'm also a big game geek who has been writing FAQs, websites and guides for many video games since the early 90s. I currently run one of the longest running Mortal Kombat fansites The Realm of Mortal Kombat (aka TRMK).

Could you use Spotlight instead of Quicksilver?

minimalmac:

“Keeping with the theme of using the software that comes with your Mac, I gave up using QuickSilver and other similar tools when Leopard came out. 10.5 made Spotlight much faster, and it now does 90% of what I was using third party launcher tools for.”

I also use Spotlight as well, but QuickSilver is MUCH faster than Spotlight is normally.

minimalmac just posted a follow up article with some nice AppleScript commands to do things like Emptying the Trash, Ejecting Disk, etc.
