Recent gnome’s project, gnome-do, is awesome!
For anyone not aware of it, you just time almost anything you want to do, and gnome will..Well, Do it! I’ve tried Queen, and the music started playing, a nick from a friend, and the conversation is open with pidgin, some page I’ve visited, and I get there imidiatly, and lots, lots more!
Try it out, it’s easilly and fastly installed!
