I’ve published a few updates to SearchLink since we last talked, some bigger than others. Here’s a rundown of what’s new. URL Shortening First, I added more built-in URL shortening. In addition to Bit.ly shortening, you can now use is.gd or TinyUrl. Bit.ly and TinyURL require an API key, so see the configuration for details…

{{ site.webexcsponsor.affiliate8.start }} Flotato While nothing has ever lived up to an old Mac app called Fluid for me, there are a few good options for creating Single Site Browsers (Mac apps dedicated to a single web service) these days.

I’ve been putting a little more time into CurlyQ this week, as I’m able. First thing to note is a breaking change: it will always return an array now, even if there’s only one result. I had waffled on this a little, but for predictability in scripting it really always needs to be a consistent…

Today I’m releasing an initial version of my latest tool, CurlyQ. It’s a work in progress, though should be immediately useful to those who need it. I need your input on where it goes next, what’s missing, and what you’d like to do with it that it can’t handle yet. Join me in the forum…
