MarkTAW.com has a good article about contextual lists to be used in GTD: What context do I put my Next Actions in?. Mark explains he only has three lists named @work, @supermarket, and @home - but some people may have uses of @online or @offline lists (I do - as I only have internet access at work but do stuff on my laptop elsewhere, too).

As long as there is no plugin for Quicksilver to directly access & create iCal items: check out Michael’s Apple Script that creates new ToDos:
using terms from application "Quicksilver"
on process text theString
tell application "iCal"
set theCal to (first calendar whose title is "Time") -- or whatever
make todo at end of todos of theCal with \

I just checked in a big chunk of code that I started a long time ago, to add support for reading and editing BibTeX macros to BibDesk. This has been a top five bug for at least two years, and it feels great to get it done.
I recently posted a little request to the void out there about “Interweb connectivity through ping-/trackback” to which a fellow reader replied:
this is generally what i’m trying to accomplish on my own pet website. part frustration of so many standards and nothing that played nice them all, the quickest and easiest solution was a centralized website that “did it all”, but kept playing nice with all the other established ways of linking to everyone else. of course, i’ve still to expose feeds and ping urls of my own.
I had a quick look and decided it was not what I am looking for. What I really want is an easy way to ping my site when I submit comments on other sites, post newsgroup items or whatever other net activities I have so I cann integrate them all here.
Maybe this is just the way to do it - post any activity to the blog - to serve as a reminder to myself and possibly inspire others. There is also the possible use of del.icio.us for links and stuff that doesnt need a wider exposure or explanation - although as we all know this is quite a different type of notice - there lies some strength in knowing which sites are hype at a point of time.
A Tool like CopyWrite with LATEX Support would be quite amazing
