Ruby and Quicksilver: Executing Ruby one-liners with Quicksilver

To plug Ruby directly into your brain, take three short breaths, mutter a prayer to Matz, and then follow these instructions:

Prerequisites: Mac OS X Panther or greater and Quicksilver

Download this humble Applescript

\#<using terms from application "Quicksilver"
    on process text t
        do shell script "ruby -00 -e '" & t & "'"
    end process text
end using terms from

Unzip the script and copy it to `~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions/`
Restart Quicksilver

Once you’ve plugged in, Ruby is just a blink away:

Invoke Quicksilver (`CTRL-Space`)
Type a period (`.`) followed by your one-line stroke of genius, such as:
```
\#&lt;\[ "in", "me", "plug" \].reverse_each {|x| print x.upcase, " "
}
```
Press `TAB`
Type until `ruby` is displayed in the second pane
Press `Return`

The results of your Ruby one-liner (‘PLUG ME IN’ in this case) are placed back into the first pane of Quicksilver for your digestion.

Thanks to bsg for the inspiration.
