A Weblog written, styled and hacked by Joel Moss
Ryan Carson just posted a small tip on his blog about how he improved his email productivity using TextExpander for the Mac.
Using a mix of keywords and/or keyboard shortcuts, TextExpander slashes the time it takes to write an email, especially if it contains lots of content that you repeatedly use. Perfect for writing support emails.
I didn’t need to look for for a Windows alternative. The QuickText extension for Thunderbird does exactly the same thing. Just define your shortcut, along with its own keyboard shortcut and keyword. Then write your email - very quickly!
Another genius product!
My name is Joel Moss, a web developer and all round nice guy, living in Manchester, England. I am currently working full time for ShermansTravel.com, but I fill whatever spare time I have with lots of good and wholesome "stuff"! Like developing my own ideas; such as Tooum, contributing to the excellent CakePHP framework, and doing more work for ShermansTravel.
So this is my blog - my soap box! Here I attempt to share my likes, my dislikes, and my opinions. As well as providing some occasional respite from the daily crap we all endure. Enjoy ;)
