Just seen this productivity util from the Maxivista guys. PhraseExpress - http://www.phraseexpress.com/ Its a phrase/expression expansion tool that works in any application (not just msoffice) to expand any phrase/term into a full string... eg: you type bbfn and it is automatically expanded into bye bye for now Plus - its free for the personal use edition!
Random thoughts on software development & the interweb, home automation, media centres & gadgets and other interesting stuff...well interesting to me anyway
