Cheers, that could come in handy.

(Firefoxy types can also use the Save Text Area extension.)

Excellent! (Now if only del.icio.us was up so I could bookmark it...)

Somebody should come up with a way to store bookmarks on your local machine. Bonus points if you could actually integrate it into the browser, with something like a menu command or a keystroke.

jjg, Quicksilver has a del.icio.us module, accessible via a few keystrokes. Unfortunately, since I had my computer shut down over the weekend, the cached catalog is gone, so I still cannot access my bookmarks.

Silly rabbit, Browsers on OS X don't crash!

jjg, maybe a few years afterwards, you could give it a snappy name and rebrand it.
