Tonight I realized something, it caught me off guard for a second.  Generally to quit a program I will hit command-q to quit the program.  Tonight I wanted to close a Finder window so I hit command-q and to my surprise this actually killed the entire Finder process and not only the front most Finder window.  Now that I think about this it is the proper behavior but I would think that with something as critical as Finder they would make that command only close the front most window.  I noticed that everything was gone, even the icons on my desktop.  I guess this is a quicker way than dropping to terminal to sudo killall Finder. 

For the next few days (Weds - Friday) I will be out of town on a business trip.  I am being called into the office to work and collaborate with the team for a few days.  I will get back to anyone that contacts me over thee days as soon as I possibly can.

Friday night I went to see my boys and we went to McDonalds in Rutland.  I was too big to take Paxton into the play place tunnels so my girl Claire took him in.  They were in a glass bubble so I pulled myself up onto one of the bars so that he could see me and I could make him laugh.  I was there for a few minutes and then decided to hop down, when I did my arm caught on one of the bars that went to a T and I heard "crack".  My fingers started to tingle so I said we have to go to Claire.  She thought we were getting kicked out for her being in the tunnels.  When I told her that I broke my arm she thought I was joking.  The guy that was sitting about 30 feet away confirmed to her that he heard it break.  I went to the ER and they confirmed that it was broken.  I broke the big bone in my forearm on the inside near my thumb.  I have it in a splint, I wouldn’t let them cast it because the cast would not allow me to type because it goes over your knuckles.  If I cannot type I cannot work and well I need to work. 

The doctor that saw me looked at my x-ray and said that I needed to go see an orthopedic surgeon to have surgery.  He said they were going to wrap the bone with a metal plate.  I am not going to do that.  I already have one metal plate on my collar bone from a car accident and in the winter I really feel the cold weather.  I looked at the x-ray and it looks like a small fracture, I think they just want to bump up the bills hehe.

With the integration of Quick Look into Leopard we all thought it would be great if there were 3rd party plug-ins developed for it.  Previously I wrote and told you about the zip and folder quick look plug-ins. Today I found out that there are 2 websites that are dedicated to archiving QL Plug-ins.  http://www.qlplugins.com/ and http://www.quicklookplugins.com/.  It seems that both of the sites archive the same plug-ins so right now it does not matter which site you use as your source.  There seems to be quite a fair amount more of plug-ins being developed.  One of my favorites is the BetterZip as it has a nicer interface than the regular zip and it also allows you to view many many different archive formats and not only the zip format.

THere seems to be everything from adobe to textmate integration plug-ins and I cannot wait to see what else people come up with.  You can preview movies, flash movies, images, archives, documents.  They even have ones that will highlight your code if you are viewing a document with programming code.
