Actiontastic, one of the contenders to be the go-to a lication for Mac using GTD-ers, has just been updated to version 0.8.2, and brings with it some iffy upgrades including interface tweaks, a complete back-end database re-coding, and various bug fixes. But obviously those things alone don't warrant a TUAW post do they? Of course not. The real reason I'm pointing out this update to you, dear reader, is the addition of a feature that I've long come to rely on in my GTD workflow: Quicksilver integration. One of the most basic tenets of GTD is brain dumping; getting all those projects and thoughts out of your head and into a trusted system so you end le energy worrying about them, and more energy doing things that are actually productive. Having to switch away from the a lication I'm currently using in order to create a new item in my i ox totally trashes my train of thought, and being able to simple hit a hot-key to brain dump makes it easier to keep up with the GTD methodology. Actiontastic includes Quicksilver functionality as a QS action bundled with the a , which is much more elegant than the unfortunately clumsy Quicksilver Action Kinkle GTD uses to accomplish the same thing.
