I do not know how I ever survived before I found TM. I used it to cut  
my teeth on XML, my shell script writing, and now I actively added  
using it for posting to my blog. The more I am doing in TM the  
better. I was talking to a non-Mac person about TM and he stated it  
sound a lot like Emacs. Without making war in editor land I said  
sorta but not sorta. I don't have to get carpal tunnel to use  
TM.  ;-). I currently have a .Mac account and I placed by GTD project  
up there. when done updating I HUP the sync agent to make sure the  
iDisk is in sync (Sharing information between mini at home and my  
roaming powerbook).

I look forward to your changes and additions to the Bundle. Like the  
author of FMP stated. "I love the lazyweb". I be interested to if  
anyone else other than what I have seen in this months thread if they  
have made any feedback or come up with ideas. I think the integration  
of FMP will be a great enhancement.

This week has been kinda weird for me. I have found my self utilizing  
the append to text file feature of quicksilver to generate a grocery  
list of items I need when I go shopping. in GTD I had an item to go  
shopping the weekend. What would have been really cool would have  
been able to link the grocery list to the action item of going  
shopping. ( I can see it but have just cracked the cover of the  
Programming Ruby book )

Keep up the good work.
