Textexpander comes as a handy osx tool: it let’s you create textsnippets being called by a hotkey, you can call and paste into any textfield… this is especially handy for textsnippets you need regulary (say standard email etc.). What is neat is that you can define variables which then can be filled in via a dropdown or textfield:
It’s really worth the money.
Depending on your php and MAMP version you’ll find your pear installer somewhere like here:
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.6.2/bin
cd into that directory and install your pear packages like this:
sudo ./pear install Net_SMTP
You can find a db of all available pear packages here: https://pear.php.net/packages.php
I always found it a bit frustrating to copy/paste feeds to feedly manually, so I stumbled upon this workaround, it works quite well, as there is no official chrome extension of feedly:
1. Install RSS subscription extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rss-subscription-extensio/nlbjncdgjeocebhnmkbbbdekmmmcbfjd)
2. In options (chrome://extensions/ – click on options near “RSS subscription extension (by Google)) : click on “add…” button, put “feedly” in “description field and “http://www.feedly.com/home#subscription/feed/%s” in URL field.
3. Select feedly and click “Make default” (or optionally if you use only feedly, delete the other options it will be immediate when you click on icon if you have only one reader)
4. It’s done, now when visiting a website which provide RSS, you have a RSS icon in the multibox, clicking on it open Feedly and at the top of the feed, you have a “+Add” button letting you add it to feedly. Clicking on it open a dialog which allow you to select the categories.
(found here)
After a click on the „star“ the feed URL is pushed to feedly, and you just have to „+feedly“ there – pretty easy.
You may remember the old, chunky Wacom Tablets, designers and illustrators were using with their Apple PowerPC G4 in the late 90s. Then the iPad came and some years later Bamboo Paper, a digital Notebook, made by Wacom (or acquired?!)
O
You can buy a pen as well (I got the solo), which really makes sense, though you can use it with your fingers also quite well.
Bamboo really changed the way I keep notes and even make concepts or presentations and use my iPad in a productive way. As I am into Keynote for presentation stuff, hand-drawn illustrations really give them a personal and individual touch – and it’s super simple.
You can organize your work into different notebooks with different paper styles – there is no OCR but I don’mind because I haven’t seen that working anywhere in a useful way yet.
You can share either single sheets or a whole notebook directly in your Dropbox in a Bamboo native format or as PDF.
