Launcher Applications
I don’t want this to be long, but I have to tell you that I rely heavily on the wonderfully versatile application for OS X known as Quicksilver, which allows me to quickly launch applications, send emails, navigate through folders, operate iTunes, and perform most other simple tasks. I am so dependent on this utility that I’m often frustrated by most other computers’ lack of launcher applications.
Anyway, if you are on a Mac, download Quicksilver now. It will change the way you work, and you will get so much more done. Muscle memory has never been so much fun! If you’re on Windows or Linux, check out Launchy (cross-platform), Skylight (Windows only), or Gnome Launch Box if you’re running Gnome. If these don’t work for you, search the Linux repositories or simply Google “quicksilver alternatives.” Good luck, and happy launching!

Thanks so much for the Windows version :O
No problem. Quicksilver is completely vital to how I do things now.
I just have to say this was probably one of the most effective articles I have go over on the topic so far. I do not have any idea where you gather up all your information but up! I am going to send some folks over here to take a look at this post. Fantastic, just plain fantastic. I am have just started getting into writing articles myself, nothing compared to your writing skills (ha!) but I’d love for you to check out my work in progress someday!
