Improved Quicksilver Applescript
Inspired by bsag's applescript, I've created one that works nicely with quicksilver and my new api method for tracks. I'm going to attach the applescript here. Here are the instructions:
1. Download the AppleScript.
1. Edit the script to include your own username, token, context id, and url
1. Compile and save the script
1. Copy the script to ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions/ (you may need to create the Actions directory)
1. Restart Quicksilver
1. Activate Quicksilver (Ctrl+Space by default)
1. Press "." to put quicksilver into text mode
1. Type the description of the next action you want to add
1. Press tab to switch to the action pane.
1. By typing or scrolling, choose the "Add to Tracks" action.
That's it! To be google-friendly, I'm going to include the source of the applescript here, too.
Happy GTDing!

Great! This is lovely and works fine. If you don't mind, I'll post this together with my Applescripts on the downloads page of the main site so that they are more visible to folks who don't frequent the dev site.
