TextExpander 2.7 update→

Here’s an interesting bit:

TextExpander Touch
Coming to the iTunes App Store
August 26.

With TextExpander touch, you can compose email messages, notes, and tweets on your iPhone or iPod touch using your TextExpander snippet library.

I’m sort of afraid of this. I’ve wished for TextExpander on the iPhone but based on the iPhone software architecture I’m guessing that it will be a stand–alone app that I can email/type from and not something that hooks into any app. I can see some potential for having snippets available on my iPhone though.

UPDATE from their newsletter:

TextExpander touch will be available for purchase and download in the App Store on Wednesday. For a limited time, it will be priced at $1.99, 60% off the regular price of $4.99. We hope you’ll check it out!

Use Quicksilver for quick timed reminders→

I’ve decided to try Quicksilver. This timer tip (think: tea) is terrific… I wish there were a way to bind it to a keystroke or something. I also wish that some of the other advanced uses for Quicksilver (the ones that attracted me to it) would reliably work.

NOTE: Another way I can do this is to simply use Quicksilver to open the scripts included with Minuteur(stopwatch/timer app) which will launch the app and begin countdown.

I’ve been looking for an app that could generate a full website as a PDF (text remains searchable). Paparazzi! does just that. And it’s free. Serious. Found over at CreativeBits. Thanks goes out to Hybernaut for directing me to what he uses, which in turn let me change my search terms. UPDATE: I discovered that you can just drag a URL from Safari on the Paparazzi dock icon and it automagically creates the capture. Cool.

As I was noodling around with Offshoots I noticed CocoPad. It’s a velocity sensitive notepad specifically for tablet users to write down quick notes. It’s not perfect but it’s free and I’m happy I found it.
