M3U2iTunes has been updated to 1.1 in order to fix a file association problem with Mac OS 10.4.6.

(Thanks Tim!)

StoryGrinder has been updated to version 0.8.8 with the following changes:

• Support for Spotlight based search of Scrap Box items
• Added "Get Info" support for current document
• Added the ability to set a title for scraps
• Added the ability to cancel the load of cached items
• Refreshing a cached item will now show a confirmation dialog box
• Fixed a bug where adding a URL from an AppleScript would not always force the item to load and be cached

Out of these, I find the Spotlight search from within the Scrap Box most interesting since you can now not only archive web pages but actually search their content.

I've been spending the last couple of days recovering from my Karate Black Belt grading this past weekend. After several months of preparation, it's a huge relief to have it done and over with (successfully, of course). Now that I don't have to worry full time, I'm expecting to be able to return my attention to other less all-consuming pursuits.

Thanks, of course, to those who helped me get through it with passive and active encouragement (and threats). You know who you are.
