Switchblog switched to the Mac and why it matters

Add a new iCal event from Quicksilver

A while ago we covered Quicksilver plugins for Gmail and Google Calendar, allowing you to send an email or create a new event (respectively) right from within Quicksilver’s interface. If you aren’t a Google Calendar user though, Quicksilver also offers the same kind of plugin for iCal. Somehow I lost this in my bloggable bookmarks, but last month Tim Gaden at Hawk Wings broke down the syntax for adding an event to iCal with this plugin, and it’s really pretty simple. When entering text, the event is written like so: TUAW

Here’s yet another way to use Quicksilver. Quicksilver is one of the first apps I install in a Mac. The Mac-experience is not complete without it.
