Have a quick break and read the latest Dilbert strip straight off of Alfred.
 
This simple workflow downloads and displays the latest comic strip from www.dilbert.com.
 

 
Sample strip
 

 
Download the workflow and give it a go.
 
 

How it works:
 
Drop it into a workflow and set the options:
Prompt text - this appears in Alfred's main input window with the cursor flashing after it. It would have to be fairly short, something like, 'Are you sure?'
 
Responses (optional).
 
A list of values that the user can select from. These will appear in Alfred's search results. 
 
or
 
A script that generates the responses using Alfred's results XML format.
 
or 
 
Nothing at all, so the user can enter any value.
 
The action returns the selected value in {prompt}
 
And with your other hand, you could code up a nice conditional action to go with it ... 
 
 
 
 
 

Whoa! I only just realised you can set alternate actions based on the modifier key (option etc.). This will make a big difference to my EggTimer workflow.

Takes an input from one action and puts it straight out along multiple wires. On each of the 'wires' you can set a value. The action attached to the wire is executed if the wire's value matches the value of the conditional.
