Daring Fireball Projects: SmartyPants - 1 views

  •  
    "SmartyPants is a free web publishing plug-in for Movable Type, Blosxom, and BBEdit that easily translates plain ASCII punctuation characters into "smart" typographic punctuation HTML entities. SmartyPants can perform the following transformations: * Straight quotes ( " and ' ) into "curly" quote HTML entities * Backticks-style quotes (``like this'') into "curly" quote HTML entities * Dashes ("--" and "---") into en- and em-dash entities * Three consecutive dots ("...") into an ellipsis entity "

      Need to review because Rita suggested it.
  • Enso lets you do common computing tasks easier and faster than ever before. You get a huge productivity boost and a simpler digital life.
  • Enso is dead simple to use. You just hold down the Caps Lock key and type an Enso command, which is displayed in a translucent overlay. Once the command is typed, you simply release the Caps Lock key to activate it, and the overlay disappears. If you type fast, it all happens in a flash. For instance, to launch the Firefox Web browser, you just hold down the Caps Lock key and type "open firefox." To look up the meaning of the word "proclivity," you just hold down the Caps Lock key and type "define proclivity."

  • My friend and colleague, Tech Director Jen Hegna over in the Byron (MN) schools developed this set of guidelines for the staff in her district. (She was motivated, she said, partially by posts here and here on the Blue Skunk. Cool!) Anyway she's given permission for me to share her work here and says readers are welcome to use and adopt as well:     Guidelines for Educators Using Social Networking Sites August 2009 (DRAFT, DRAFT, DRAFT)

Convert Microsoft Word to plain text - Jonathan Hedley - Live from Sydney - 1 views

  •  
    "Convert Microsoft Word to plain text Most of the time when I'm writing content for the web (for this blog, or a forum comment, or whatever), I'll write in Microsoft Word for the spell check and other features that aren't in a standard textarea widget, and then I'll cut and paste into the form on the site. The problem is that this carries all of the high characters ("smart-quotes" and the like) that MS Word makes straight through to the site - and most sites aren't set up to handle them. They expect plain ("Latin") text. A solution: this script converts text copied from MS word into plain text. Paste your input into the top box, press clean, and the input will be scrubbed and sent to the lower box."
