Nov 12

The 11-13-07 Meeting featured fast stuff.  Patrick Greer started off the presentation with a demonstration and introduction to Quicksilver. According to Wikipedia Quicksilver is A computer utility software program for Mac OS X. It allows users to use the keyboard to rapidly perform tasks such as launching applications, manipulating files and data, running scripts or sending e-mail. Patrick mentioned that he will use Quicksilver to launch applications he uses very frequently and save new or seldom used by needed item for the dock. Patrick also shared how you can do action on files a lot more quickly than using a mouse.  Patrick then shared a Google Talk video featuring the developer of Quicksilver talking about his application.  After viewing a part of the presentation Patrick fielded questions from those in attendance.  Patrick also mentioned two MacBreak videos that told more about Quicksilver and how to use it.  MacBreak Episode 12 and Episode 17.  Quicksilver can be downloaded from http://www.blacktree.com.

After the Quicksilver presentation Bobby Morrison gave a demonstration of Leopard showing the new user interface with Coverflow, Quicklook and then he told us about his 5 years with Apple as an employee. Bobby then took questions from those attending.
