In an effort to become more efficient, I have undertaken an initiative to automate many common tasks. Therefore, I would like to ask other geeks about their setups and share mine thus far:
* Emacs. For those who know, this should speak for itself as I've got quite a collection of elisp snippets and plan to collect keyboard macros as well. Do any other users feel like contributing? * Rake tasks. Utilities for doing common tasks like cleaning up my files (nuking tempfiles, esp) broken out by specific use case. Rake allows you to specify dependencies as well, which helps to keep things in order. For example, I always clean up before I backup a directory but don't want to have to remember it. * IFTTT. One of the most awesome things to write robots for hooking actions on various services together. For example, if tomorrow's forecast includes rain, I get a text message the night before. I also get sports scores and notifications about free MP3 albums on Amazon. https://ifttt.com/ * Gmail canned responses. Exactly what it sounds like. Turn it on in Settings > Labs I'd really like to expand this list. Does anyone have pro tops? -- Jonathan E.
