True enough… In fact, just write a bash script that does:

pbpaste | cat > fortune_user.txt and assign it to a QS trigger to add clipboard copied text to your user file.

I just got this idea! I guess I’m 2 months behind ya. I guess I should have searched harder!! ha ha. :) nice implementation.

I’m going to use it in a slightly different way- think user-defined fortune files using quicksilver’s append text feature. ;)

Yeah but that isn’t nearly as fun. It’s hugely expensive for one, and secondly, you don’t really go dancing with the wand all the time. I setup a cronjob for this to pop up on growl every hour. Just too good :D

This is what is so much fun about the mac man :). Also, did you see the mouse wand story on digg?
