Okay so I haven't updated in a while. First things first. The music.

This is Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. It's from an awesome movie called Once. Check it out.

So a few things have changed. The sale of the hotel is going to take a little longer than planned. The new buyer has changed their method of purchase to save of taxes, whereby she sells off one of her other properties to pay for this one. Long story short, it means the sale will definitely go through, it just won't be fully resolved until about June. So, it's kind of good and bad news.

On to the toys. Lifehacker has its own set of productivity tools to help people get stuff done faster. My favorite of these it Texter, which I have playing around with and love. It�s a text replacement program. You set a hotstring for a specific block of text that you use repeatedly, like email addresses, signatures, phrases etc, then choose the activation key.

Example. I�m using texter to write this entry. I have set the hotstring pcopy to the activation key �tab�. So when I type pcopy into any text field, browser, text editor, anything.. And hit tab, it replaces the hotstring with this

{text from my clipboard}

. I use it for all sorts of html tags that I need to repeat. I even use it for passwords. It�s a great way to have a long, complicated password. I created a password with letters and numbers that�s about 14 digits long. I set it to the hotstring pw. So when I want to log into websites such as bank accounts or other websites where I want my password to be hard to guess, I just type pw into the password field and hit tab, and it fills in my password.

It�s an awesome program and it�s free. Check it out. Can be found here -> Texter (Windows Only).

Hm. Interesting program...

You should get a camera so we can see pictures. :D
