Ruby and Quicksilver: Executing Ruby one-liners with Quicksilver

To plug Ruby directly into your brain, take three short breaths, mutter a prayer to Matz, and then follow these instructions:

Prerequisites: Mac OS X Panther or greater and Quicksilver

1. Download this humble Applescript
   
2. Unzip the script and copy it to ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions/
3. Restart Quicksilver

Once you’ve plugged in, Ruby is just a blink away:

1. Invoke Quicksilver (CTRL-Space)
2. Type a period (.) followed by your one-line stroke of genius, such as:
   
3. Press TAB
4. Type until ruby is displayed in the second pane
5. Press Return

The results of your Ruby one-liner (‘PLUG ME IN’ in this case) are placed back into the first pane of Quicksilver for your digestion.
