Tool Sharpening: June 1, 2014

Sunday, 1 June, 2014 — development improvement

For some background on what’s going on here, see the first tool sharpening post

This week was slower than previous weeks. I’ve been sick the second half of the week and just being moderately productive Thursday and Friday was a challenge. Excuses aside, here’s what’s new, this week:

OmniFocus

OmniFocus 2 was officially released. The new release has presented an opportunity to make some adjustments.

• Created some new custom perspectives
  • “Fast Actions” for items that I can complete in 15 minutes or less
  • “Oldest” shows items by order of creation. This will be useful for looking at items that have been lingering for weeks, months or longer and make a call about whether I’m ever going to carry those actions out and, if not, delete them
• Set custom icons for all of my custom perspectives from Josh Hughes’ set

Instapaper

Not a developer thing, but bear with me.

• Updated token so favorited articles will post to my Pinboard account. I’d like to do some link blog mining using this workflow as a starting point
• Renewed my Instapaper subscription to gain access to full-text search
