On the latest episode of Automators, Rosemary and I get to talk to J. -F. Brissette, who really loves to automate. From automating Screenflow with Keyboard Maestro, to using the Terminal as a launcher, as well as regular expressions and looking into combining Dropbox and Chronosync, this episode will definitely teach you something—even if it’s only about finding opportunities for automation!

The latest episode of the Automator’s podcasts is now available for download. In this episode, we go back to basics and talk about text expansion. I joke in the episode that text expansion is a gateway drug or automation, but that’s really kind of true. Just about anybody can do text expansion and as you start to get your mind around some of the more powerful text expansion tools, you’re going to find a lot of ways to use it.

The thing I like about this episode is that we not only talk about the basics, but we move into the advanced. No matter what level of usage you are at with text expansion (or if you’ve never used it at all), I think this is a great episode to help you move the ball little further down the road toward getting your work done faster and more accurately.

Rosemary and I aren’t looking to vanquish Thanos. Our endgame is to show you how automation can make your life so much easier. We just want to enhance your super powers. You don’t have to wear a cape, but there is an awesome Automators Assemble! hoodie and t-shirt now available at Cotton Bureau. You may not always be able to display your prowess as an automator, but you will definitely be able to show the world your keen fashion sense when you sport this hoodie or tee. Shop soon, though. They’re only available for a limited time.
