Here’s my geeky and productive way to start off the 2012 Formula 1 season: Textexpander<\/a> shortcuts for Formula 1 driver names.<\/p>\n

I’ve blogged about Textexpander before: http:\/\/mattclare.ca\/blog\/2009\/08\/28\/textexpander\/ In short, with TextExpander installed on your Mac you can type short key-commands, like \u00e2\u20ac\u0153ddate\u00e2\u20ac\u009d which is automatically replaced with something like Thursday March 15, 2012 saving keystrokes and looking things up. I store handy E-Mail responses or marking responses in TextExpander shortcuts as well as things like HTML elements and other filler text.<\/p>\n

There is also the compatible MS Windows option: PhraseExpress<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the 2012 Formula 1 season I’ve taken the Formula 1 timing and scoring three letter short code abbreviations and turned them into a Textpander group. This should help me bang-out my tweets, blog postings, gripes and other comments about F1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
