So I hate the default Apple signature. “Sent from my iPad” to me sounds extremely pretentious. No one cares what device you are using. Obviously you can change the default email in ‘Settings’, but being a designer I enjoy having a custom signature for people to view. Anyways, I adapted the current tutorials for iPhone CSS/HTML sig for my iPad, and here is the end result that you will be (more…)
What they say:

What they really mean:
We read a book that said we had to be at least a $90 million company in five years, so we reverse-engineered the numbers.

Macros – Software For Optimizing Your Life
0 Comments | Posted by bt in Technology, Web Power Users
So I work for a software engineering company that requires a multi-step login process. I was tired of clicking the same buttons over and over again every time I needed to login, so I looked for something that would make my life easier. What I found was a sweet plugin for Firefox called iMacros, made by iOpus.
It allows you to record keystrokes and link clicks so that you can easily automate tasks you perform on a daily basis. Also, I haven’t experimented with it, but iOpus has a bunch of other optimization software, so be sure to check out your site.
Any feedback on additional tools is appreciated.
I’ve been doing this for a couple years, but if you haven’t heard of MacHeist, you should definitely sign up and start checking it out. Here’s the link: MacHeist Signup!
Basically how it works is you sign up (which, did I mention, is free), then you get to do some sick online missions that lead to registration info for free copies of premium Mac software. Last year, I finished about 2/3rd’s of the missions, and I got over $150 worth of free software! Plus, at the end, you have the option to buy the yearly software bundle, which is a $400+ value for around $50.
Overall, one of the coolest (if not the coolest) ways to get mac software for free online.
PS. Check my twitter (http://twitter.com/thinklime which should also be in my lifestream) if you want the coordinates for the first copy of free software (Daisy Disk, a sick hard drive space management tool).
