Set Alarm with Quicksilver and Automator

Advertisements

In my article, Two Secret Features of Quicksilver, I've discussed how to use Quicksilver to set a delay before running application.

Roughly, I believe you've already known how to create automator application to speak text which have been discussed here. In case you don't want to waste your time creating the application, I've created an application to only speak up "Time's up!" when it's launched; It can be downloaded here.

Let's say you want your automator application to alarm you two hours two minutes and two seconds later, then these are what you need to do :

  1. Highlight the Automator Applications, i.e. Time's Up
  2. Invoke Quicksilver and pass the object with keystrokes Command-G as discussed here
  3. Change highlight to Quicksilver action by pressing Tab (additional)

  4. Press Control-Return to change into alternative action
  5. Choose Run After Delay and Set the additional info to 2h2m2s

  6. Run the action and wait for that particular time to "hear" the result

Does this still work if you let your Mac go into sleep mode to save electricity, reduce global warming, and cut back on how much mercury you're putting in my fish and chips.
