Printing with Quicksilver

I find that I use Quicksilver for many things. I came over a post explaining how to print a file that is selected in the finder without opening preview or other programs. Quite handy.

Clear Growl Notifications

Just as this article over at Macworld describes, I sometimes get a lot of Growl messages on my screen. Removing them is very tedious, but by pressing option as you press close on one of the messages, all messages are removed. Very handy.

Turn off the screen from the keybard

At Mac OS X Hints, they have a tip for sleeping the display of your mac from your keyboard. By pressing the keyboard shortcut Shift-Control-Eject, the screen goes to sleep. Very handy for sleeping your display when your laptop is on battery.

Fun with date

On Sat Feb 14 00:31:30 CET 2009 (Norwegian time) the epoch timer in unix-systems will reach the magical number 1234567890. If you are on a unix-like system (e.g. a Linux system), you can check when this will happen for you by typing in this command:

date -d @1234567890

I think this is kind of cool :-).
