My that I’m gone so the heat will now be turned off as my GPS indicates I’m away from home. Leaving for the airport – Hitting the road is pretty simple. Its now reflected on my Apple watch which is handy when I’m at my gate. So I check in, select my seat and add the booking to my wallet for later. That will be handy later.įlight Check-in – I fly Thankfully they have updated their app. I just need to check in via the app and select my exact room preference so I get a good one facing the park. ![]() Hotel Check-in – I’ve already made a reservation at the Hyde Park. Its Sunday evening and I’m in Galway, Ireland. Every week I travel and life is demanding so I use a series of tools, services and devices to keep me on track. I work with BT in London but I live in Galway in Ireland. I decided to take a step back and look at my digital day Infact, products and services now make our lives so easy we take incremental progress as granted. Often were disappointed, particularly if the technology is new but ever more increasingly we are delighted. This is precisely what brands advertise to encourage you to buy their products. My core belief is that technology should solve problems and add value in our lives. thats fine and choice and opinion are both wonderful things to have. Sometimes people like to tell me they prefer Android over iOS, MacOS over Windows. I’m passionate about what I do and I’m also an advocate of the connected age we live in. Keeping abreast with emerging technologies and user behaviour is my thing. I’ve spent the past 16 years involved in Mobile and Fixed communications making decisions based on data before it was even a thing. The error is likely happening because of some restrictions from Apple’s sandboxing technology or the fact that the alias came from Dropbox – Yoink 2.0 is capable of resolving aliases and, in fact, it worked fine with a file that was originally stored on my Desktop.Its pretty well known that I work in tech. One issue I had (and already reported to the developer) was with an alias I moved from Dropbox to my Desktop, which didn’t resolve correctly in Yoink and displayed a permission error. The interface has been redesigned to have more linen and the app can be assigned a keyboard shortcut more positions for Yoink’s window have been added and files shouldn’t be lost anymore if they’re moved from their original location. Yoink 2.0 brings a couple more interesting additions besides improved drag & drop. Yoink’s new drag & drop system works with almost any app and any kind of content – you won’t be able to preserve the exact formatting of a rich text document when copying, but it surely works very well as a lightweight solution to quickly save plain text files. How about quoting someone else’s words on your blog (and this is something I’ve been looking forward to)? Drag text into Yoink, fire up your blog’s editor window, drop text. ![]() Want to tweet a famous quote by The Beatles? Drag text into Yoink’s shelf, open your client of choice, and drop your previously copied text. ![]() textclipping once imported in Yoink, and you can easily re-export everything to the Finder, or into another app that accepts text, such as TextEdit or Twitter’s compose window. Rich text from a web browser is converted to. In my tests, besides dropping content from apps into Yoink’s shelf, I’ve copied links, text and images from Safari and Chrome, and successfully watched Yoink create text clippings and full copies of the images ready to be pasted anywhere on my Mac, both in the Finder and other apps. In accessing content from apps, Yoink has become more than a simple tool to temporarily store files that need to be moved around full-screen apps – think of Yoink 2.0 as a secondary, visual clipboard that can accept almost any kind of file you throw at it. Yoink 1.0 undoubtedly offered a quick and elegant way to move files around apps and desktops in an intuitive manner Yoink 2.0, released today, is a huge step forward that now allows the app to accept almost any kind of input from OS X, from text to images and web clippings from any app. In its first version, Yoink was primarily meant to provide a better way to move files from the Finder to full-screen apps – that is the reason the app was built with Lion APIs from the ground up. Yoink doesn’t “copy” a file, or multiple ones, to its shelf: it only acts as a bridge between the original file, and the destination of the drop. Yoink is a drag & drop assistant for Lion, in that it provides you with a virtual “safe zone” to temporarily store files - or rather, links to them - you want to move from one location (say your desktop) to another space or full-screen app. Back in September I reviewed the first version of Yoink, a utility by Eternal Storms Software that greatly enhanced Lion’s drag & drop support by adding a virtual “shelf” to the side of your screen to store temporary files you needed to move elsewhere.
