I just started using it and I like it. It hides all the apps you are not currently using. You set how long it should 'wait' before hiding and you can exclude apps that shouldn't be hidden.
I like it! You should perhaps try it as well ?
Just realized, when I set up a mac for dev, that I was missing the debugging stuff I had installed on another mac.
So here it is, for me to remember and you to find out.
My tip would be: forget about MAMP and go with MacPorts instead. There is something funky about MAMP that just makes me feel less in control. The blog post is still valid and worked perfectly: I was debugging my code in less than 3 minutes!
Oh... and check out abcde if you are using MacPorts.

I just can not believe that I haven't thought about this before: posting quick updates to twitter via Quicksilver. Sure: it doesn't count the characters for ya but if you know it will be a short tweet, why not?
I have one little tip for ya: if you do have more than one twitter account and you want to force Quicksilver to only use one, change this:
set twitter_key to first Internet key of current keychain whose server is "twitter.com"
to
set twitter_key to first Internet key of current keychain whose server is "twitter.com" and account is "your_account_login_name_here"
The blog post will tell you all you need to install, run and start tweeting through Quicksilver! And Twitter will also show that you used Quicksilver: plus one hacker karma points, right?

You most likely already know about Glims but if you don't, and you use Mac and Safari to surf the web, this might just improve your experience. You get thumbnails in search results on google and yahoo, full-screen browsing, keyword search from address bar and a whole lot of other things nifty things.

Great plugin if you are annoyed with those pesky ads. Works great with ClickToFlash so no need to worry that either will 'overtake' the other.
Its very easy to tweak it if the included filters does not work for you. Go to preferences, Adblock and there choose 'Custom Filter'. Simply add a domain that you want to block and you are done!
If you surf on Swedish sites: why not add a comment with your 'Custom Filters' settings.
These works pretty good for me:

Most of you guys know about this but I didn't. If you want to be able to choose what flash files to view on a page or if you surf YouTube and realize that the flash plugin makes your MacBook overheat then this is for you.
ClickToFlash lets you block flash content on web pages but you can also choose to play H.264 movies through QuickTime instead of through the flash plugin. My MacBook went from close to 100% usage down to about 10%.

BumpTop is an interesting project where you have more of a physical desktop where documents and files have physical properties. I remember seeing this maybe a couple of years ago and it was amazing then.
Now with multi-touch capabilities its even cooler. And with an alpha for Mac things looks like it will no longer be a windows-only affair.
I can't wait!

Mutiple firefox app for Mac.
Good to have when you need to set up a new Mac or for some reason you need to completely wipe and install. Why I don't know but perhaps it happens...?
