Launchy power tip

On a previous blog entry I mentioned Launchy, a free Windows utility to launch applications using just the keyboard. It's a highly recommended productivity booster!

Since then, I've been using Launchy and I've even done some tweaking...

- You can launch command line applications by typing: cmd [TAB] command arg1 arg2 ...
- You can also launch web sites by typing: google [TAB] query

These features are pre-configured in the Options, Plugins menu:


You can create additional entries, like the following for Google I'm Feeling Lucky search:

[Name, URL, Query]
GLucky, http://www.google.com, search?q=%s&btnI

Or entries to quickly search on-line programming documentations:

[Name, URL, Query]
PHP, http://www.google.com, search?q=php.net+5+%s&btnI
Javadoc, http://www.google.com, search?q=site:java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api+%s&btnI

Very handy, huh? ;-)

A new adventure starts...

No, I'm not talking about the latest Indiana Jones movie... I'm talking about my PhD! After the prologue, it's about to really begin! I've got so much work ahead, but I'm looking forward to it!



It wouldn't be possible without some very special persons... they know who they are ;-)

Home and away / Em casa e fora

"May your home be a place where friends meet,
where family gathers, and where love grows."

When you travel to learn and be wiser,
may you return to see it all brighter.

"Que a tua casa seja o sítio onde os amigos se encontram,
onde a família se reúne e onde o amor cresce."

Quando viajares para aprender e ser mais sábia,
que possas regressar e ver tudo com mais brilho.
