It appears that the site that hosts Quicksilver (blacktree.com) has fallen over. Since upgrading to Leopard I’ve been most enthused about getting Quicksilver [PBUH] up and running.

But I can’t. Because the site’s down you currently can’t update whatever version you have, and more importantly you can’t pull down plugins.

grrr.

If anyone knows anything about this I’d sure like to hear about it.

Until today I’d never installed a single Adobe Reader update. I’ve been prompted many times over the years but I avoided it because I was somehow sure that it would be annoying.

Today my fears were justified. I decided to go ahead and do it and was soon prompted to reboot my system. Bastards.

But that’s not the bad part. I begrudgingly rebooted and went to lunch. When I got back and logged in, I was immediately presented with a friendly dialogue box from Adobe. It told me I needed to reboot to finish the install of the Adobe Reader update.

Bastards².

It’s working great, by the way. Here’s the link:
