I just released delicious2safari 1.1. It has much improved download code, and should be a lot faster than the previous versions. In addition, delicious2safari now identifies by its own User-Agent identifier.
Thanks to Joshua for fixing the del.icio.us API problems so quickly 
It seems there is a problem with the del.icio.us API (which is used by delicious2safari) that will bring down the del.icio.us database when a user with several thousand bookmarks tries to download them through the API calls. Joshua has therefore disabled the affected API call for now.
Unfortunately, this also means delicious2safari won’t be working for now. While the API troubles are being sorted out, I’ll be working on a new version of delicious2safari to reduce the load for the del.icio.us server even more. To be notified, when that update becomes available, please subscribe to the RSS feed. Thanks for your patience.
I’ve made a small update to delicious2safari. It has improved downloading code,
so it puts less strain on the del.icio.us server. Please download the update
here.
I’ve written a small application to import del.icio.us bookmarks into Safari. It is particularly useful if you’re using Quicksilver: Once those bookmarks are in Safari, Quicksilver will index them and they become available in Quicksilver just like regular Safari bookmarks!
Here’s a screenshot, the download can be found on the software page.
A big thanks to everyone who answered my Cocoa questions and provided feedback on earlier versions
I think every single person I’ve talked to after they switched to the Mac platform has asked this question. It’s particularly difficult for people with German keyboards since all the characters Unix people and programmers usually need such as tilde, backslash, braces, and brackets are not printed on the keyboard and only accessible using Option or Option-Shift. But fortunately, Mac OS X comes with a little tool to help you figure out where all those keys are:
Keyboard Viewer.
It can be enabled in System Preferences / International / Input Menu. This will automatically place the Input Menu (that’s the little menu with the flag icon) into your menu bar, containing an entry for Keyboard Viewer. In Keyboard Viewer, just press any of the modifier keys (Shift, Option, Option-Shift) to see the key mappings.
If that was too fast, here’s a little movie to show you how it’s done.
