ericd.net v. 7.0 ☃ brrr

I use QuickSilver all the time now, and part of that is for application launching. So I don't have anything in my dock anymore. But I'm on my wife's laptop and I noticed something after 10.5.5 that I don't think was there before - live resizing of the dock.

The separator in the dock used to allow for some right-click menu items and bringing up preferences for the dock, but now if you rollover that divider, you get a resize icon. Resize the dock up and down and it's done. No need for any menus at all.

Pretty cool - I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere yet.
