QuickSilver

QuickSilver is an amazing tool for OS X. It combines power of command line with beautiful OS X user interface and adds its own clever and subtle magic.

New version of Ruby MQI

Thanks to Chris M for his question about Ruby MQI. I finally posted new version of Ruby MQI -- Low-level Ruby interface to WebSphere MQ.

"http://mqi.softwaretrenches.com/source/ruby-mqi-0.2.3.tgz":http://mqi.softwaretrenches.com/source/ruby-mqi-0.2.3.tgz

This version is very close to what one of my clients is using for monitoring their MQ environment. Unfortunately, they have to run it as a service under Windows. Running it under Linux (RedHat 7) gives segmentation fault.
