Must-Have Tools for Digital Professionals in 2021

Productivity

🐻 Bear

This is by far one of my absolute favourite apps to use. Bear is a very modern looking note-taking app. In Bear, you can create unlimited notes with great formatting options. It looks neat and the cataloguing system is superior. Each note is added to the catalogue through # ’s, and adding sub categories with / ’s. I use Bear for writing down quick ideas, writing blogs and using one note to save all thoughts on projects. Bear synchs between Mac and iOS.

🙏 Asana

A literal lifesaver, I manage most of my projects and to-do’s in Asana. Both for my private projects, as well as for work. Using Getting Things Done (GTD), I log my projects, save useful information and plan my next steps. This helps me to stay on top of things and use my brain for thinking instead of memorising. It works surprisingly well for my private projects. Sometimes I leave them alone for a few months and can then pick up right where I left off in Asana. Asana offers the best combination of customisation, flexibility, and pro features to take your workflow to the next level. Of course there are other great project management tools. I’ve found that the tasks, inbox, and projects in Asana are the best to keep track and plan ahead.

🚀 Rocket

Today, emoji are an essential communication tool. On our mobile devices, the way of typing emoji is pretty alright. However, on our personal computers it can be quite a hassle finding the right emoji to work with. That’s where Rocket comes in. It offers the same experience with emoji as Slack, but then in all other apps. Start typing the colon :, followed by a word and emoji automatically appear.

🧲 Magnet

Window management on the Mac can sometimes get messy. Resizing and moving windows around with the trackpad is time-consuming. Magnet is a Mac app that allows you to resize windows and move them around with keyboard shortcuts. And it allows you to snap windows in place, in the case that you’re using your trackpad again.
API Management World

API Management:

Is the process of creating and publishing web application programming interfaces (APIs), enforcing their usage policies, controlling access, nurturing the subscriber community, collecting and analyzing usage statistics, and reporting on performance. API Management components provide mechanisms and tools to support the developer and subscriber.

What can API management do for you?

API management is largely about centralizing control of your API program — including analytics, access control, monetization, and developer workflows. An API management solution provides dependability, flexibility, quality, and speed. To achieve these goals, and ensure that both public and internal APIs are consumable and secure, an API management solution should provide access control, rate limits, and usage policies at the minimum. Most API management solutions generally also include the following capabilities:

1- developer portal. A developer portal is a common best-practice for API management. Developer portals typically provide API documentation along with developer onboarding processes like signup and account administration. 2- API gateway. The API gateway is the single point-of-entry for all clients. The gateway also determines how clients interact with APIs through the use of policies. 3- API lifecycle management. APIs should be manageable from design, through implementation, until retirement. 4- Analytics. It’s important to know what’s going on with your APIs — which consumer or app is calling which API and how often. It’s also essential to know how many APIs have failed and why. 5- Support for API monetization. Monetize access to the microservices behind the APIs through usage contracts. API management allows you to define usage contracts based on metrics, like the number of API calls. Consumers can be segmented and differentiated access tiers, and service quality can be offered to different segments.

These capabilities are considered during the API’s design so that the API can use self-managed or cloud components to provide traffic control, security, and access policy enforcement. Well, designed APIs can be shared, secured, distributed, controlled, and monetized on an infrastructure platform built for performance, customer control, and future growth.

What is Digital Asset Management (DAM)?
By: Raul Tiru
Tags: Digital Asset, Martech, Marketing Tools, Tools, Digital Asset Management

Digital asset management (DAM) systems are gaining in popularity among marketers, designers, and sales reps. Why? DAM systems make it easier to manage your brand by structuring your digital assets more efficiently. But what is digital asset management? And why exactly do you need a DAM system?

What is Digital Asset Management?

Browsing through endless folder structures to find the right image — Your sales team who are ignoring your brand guidelines — Designers spending more time responding to small requests for assets than actually creating content. Recognizable? In most companies, digital assets are scattered throughout the organization leading to these kinds of situations.

With digital asset management, you can solve these issues by structuring all your digital assets. By doing this, you will streamline your marketing efforts, and save valuable time publishing your digital content.

Google digital asset management and you will find multiple definitions, but it all comes down to this:

Digital Asset Management allows organizations to easily store, organize, find, manage, create, distribute, and analyze all their digital content. It helps you keep control of your brand identity and improve your overall marketing performance.

In most cases DAM is performed by using a central source where digital assets are stored and organized. These central sources are called digital asset management systems.

What is a digital asset management system?

A DAM system is a single source of truth for all your digital assets. It is a solution that goes further than just a simple media library. You can streamline your marketing efforts, and save time publishing your digital content.

Managing digital assets without a DAM is a frustrating process, especially when you have hundreds and thousands of assets. Just think of all the different channels, formats, file types you have to consider. You want all your assets organized and categorized so they can be easily found, everywhere, anytime.

A DAM system gives you total control of who uses your digital assets and how. This prevents the inadequate use of assets that could damage your brand. You can also upload essential brand guidelines to your DAM system– safeguarding your brand identity company-wide.

How to turn your smartphone into a document camera with the new IPEVO Uplift

How to turn your smartphone into a document camera with the new IPEVO Uplift IPEVO Follow Dec 17, 2020 · 4 min read

IPEVO’s iDocCam app has transformed access to education and remote working around the world. Even during these unprecedented times, the app has empowered teachers with the ability to instantly share live images so that lessons continue uninterrupted. And with its unique features for the visually impaired, the app has allowed for inclusive and accessible collaboration across both the educational and professional sectors.

And now, IPEVO has enhanced the iDocCam app with the release of its hardware counterpart: the new IPEVO Uplift Multi-angle Arm for Smartphones.

Introducing the new IPEVO Uplift Multi-angle Arm

IPEVO’s new Uplift is a sturdy, but flexible arm that transforms smartphones into a highly functional document camera, especially when paired with the IPEVO iDocCam app. Below are the steps to transforming any cellphone into a document camera:

Download the free IPEVO Visualizer software to your computer. Download the IPEVO iDocCam app to your smartphone and connect it to Visualizer. Place the IPEVO Uplift to the most optimal place on your desk. The IPEVO Uplift is equipped with a metal base while its multi-jointed body is made of aluminum alloy, so it can be moved easily but will not wobble when touched by accident. Insert the phone into the smartphone holder, which is located at the end of the Uplift’s multi-jointed arm. To do that, please use the edge of your phone to support one of the clamps and carefully pull the other clamp in the opposite direction with your free hand. When the distance between the clamps is sufficient, please insert your phone carefully. The camera of your phone should not be obstructed by the Uplift’s body and should be facing away from the Uplift’s body. In order to capture a wider area, you can increase the distance between the camera lens and your desk by moving the Uplift’s arm into a more upright position. The IPEVO Uplift fits any cellphone up to 3.8 inches (98mm) wide.

With a head that rotates 360 degrees, users can switch easily between vertical and horizontal orientation. Users can also switch from showing their desk to showing themselves in an instant.

Real-Life Examples

Ross Morrison McGill is the founder of @TeacherToolkit and the “most followed teacher on social media in the UK.” He describes the IPEVO Uplift as both a cheaper alternative to a visualizer and “something worth having on your classroom desk.” Watch how Ross uses the new Uplift to enhance classroom learning:

Kathy Schrock, an educational technologist, often demonstrates how the new IPEVO Uplift and iDocCam App can be used for demonstrating a science experiment or basketball move, for creating a stop-motion animation or recorded video, and for showcasing a page in a book or textbook, among other things:

Everybody loves a torch for their cigar, but is great to know how to use it. This shows you how I use a triple torch to properly light a cigar.

We’re going to show you the proper way to light a cigar. Now cigars are tough to light they’re big they’re thick they’re made of moist tobacco. It’s not like lighting a cigarette, which has paper around it. The cigar fights the flame so it takes some time to get it going whether you’re using matches or one of these lighters, but whichever method you decide to use, there is a right way to light a cigar.

Now I have a cigar here that I’ve already cut and trying to use this Jobon jet flame torch lighter to light my cigarette. And this is a triple flame lighter that was built specifically to light cigars now. We will found it uses old technology flint spark.

The best design tool of 2020 is not what you expect

The best design tool of 2020 is not what you expect

For a while, I’ve been thinking about design tools and how much the design community becomes obsessed with them, myself included, of course. And because it’s that time of the year, I decided to write about it, more specifically, pick what I think is the best design tool. Spoiler alert, it’s not what you expect. José Torre Dec 15, 2020·5 min read

Many contenders…

When I first experienced design software I was astounded. A new world of opportunities had just opened in front of my eyes.

I couldn’t believe what was possible thanks to the magic of technology and tools like Photoshop, Corel Draw, and my personal favourites, at the time, Macromedia Freehand and Flash

17 years later I’m even more amazed, computers and digital tools have evolved to incredible levels, enabling creatives not just to put their ideas into practice faster, but also to make things that wouldn’t be possible otherwise.

And the best part of it all is that we can only go up from here, tools will get even better, faster, and more accessible.

Now when I try to think about which one is best, my mind runs through a bunch of candidates like Adobe Creative Cloud, and their wide range of amazing tools, recently made even better by leveraging some of the iPad native capabilities.

Speaking of the iPad, Procreate along with many other drawing and animation apps have made digital drawing and animation so much easier, and enjoyable.

Figma and Sketch continue helping design teams across the world become faster and more efficient.

Framer, Principle, Origami and so many others help designers transform their designs into high fidelity interactive prototypes that allow them to test and validate their ideas.

Tools like Webflow empower designers to create not just a prototype but actually deliver a final product.

And let’s not forget things like Icons8, Unsplash, Blush and so many other useful libraries that help designers to pull together high-fidelity solutions faster than ever, or the uncountable amount of websites you can get mock-up templates from, that help designer get a feel to what their ideas would look like in the real world.

Lastly the classics, pen and paper, and any other equivalent, because for ages they’ve been crucial tools of ideation, sketching, and low fidelity design, and I think they will always be.

So… a lot of contenders. So many, that you may be thinking it’s impossible to just pick one, but actually it isn’t.

The winner

It’s pretty obvious what’s the best tool we have at our disposal, that just happens to be behind all the tools mentioned above, and more.

The best design tool is *drum rolls* by far *more drum rolls* your brain.

I’m getting ready for a show this weekend where I will be selling knives. One of the problems that I usually have is trying to decide which knives to take. Not sure who will be looking for what. I try to guess but it should not be all up to me. Trying to figure out what the buyer wants, and or what he’s looking for, is not always easy.

The buyer can help by having something in mind when they show up. If they don’t see something they are looking for, ask for it. Let us makers know what you want and if we don’t have it, we can make it for you.

Our job is to make sure that what we do make is quality. We spend a lot of time trying to figure out what’s the best knife. What will sell. What people want.

This doesn’t have to be hard. We can work together and everybody can have a good experience. We like to make what you want. You want us to make what you like.

Come see us at the show and we’ll make this work.

Breathing gives life…

A wine ‘aerator’ is a device that exposes wine to more air than it would otherwise be exposed to in an open wine bottle. When wine is uncorked and poured into glassware, wine compounds undergo a two stage process, oxidation and evaporation. Both stages help minimize unwanted flavors in wine and that is why people let their glass of wine ‘breath’ or use decanters. A wine aerator makes this process of wine aeration instantaneous.

Breathing is life.

Variety: The whole world is shifting to a digital landscape and that makes it much more important to expand your digital presence. Today, the things that aren’t digital are much harder to think about, than the things that are. Digital marketing exposes you to a wide variety of options that not only rely on buying, selling & advertising but to build a long-lasting relationship with your customer for the future to come.

2. Measurement: What you can’t measure is what you cant manage. This leaves every new business with a lot of room for improvement. Constantly testing out online strategies with A/B testing and other variables also make up for a lot of experiments.

3. Cost Effective: The cost of marketing online is quite efficient as compared to offline marketing. You can use real-time metrics to see, exactly how much ROI are you getting and what needs more of your time & attention.

4. Customer Relationships: Digital marketing helps to make your organization/corporation into a person that interacts with its customers. Digital space is arguably the best place for building relationships that turn into loyal paying customers for your brand.

One way or another, Digital space is the one that your business can’t afford to miss because it is the only thing that would cost more by leaving.

Steel and Leather

courtesy of author Larry Nowicki

There is something about the smell of newly forged steel. When you get a design in your head and can turn it into reality with heat and hammer there is nothing like it. Sure you can grind it but doing it with the hammer…

Forging and grinding go hand in hand. The grinding refines it. It makes it look, feel, and work better.

Fit and finish are part of the finished product. These skills together make awesome blades.

But that is just the beginning. The leather clothes make the rest of the package. It also has a smell. The scent activates the creative juices. The craftsman comes out and performs their skill. Design, function, fit and finish too are part of this craft.

Together they make a package that anyone would be proud to carry. When they work as planned they can be a dream come true.

I guess you can tell I like what I do. It is in my soul. It can be in yours too. It is one of the ancient crafts that brought humans out of the stone age. Its origins are still in our being.

Whether we are the craftsman or the user the feelings we get just handling them set things in motion. The visual appeal gives them form and function. The appreciation of tools well kept and the knowledge that they will do what they are intended to do is inherent. Enjoy this stuff.

It’s in our blood.

Glass Donut

Photo by Nina Mercado on Unsplash

Pain has never tasted so sweet,

The way my tooth would break

Like an ivory fort castle—crack!

As if it was glass itself,

I shatter in oxblood jam, like my favorite

Sugary donut,

The nut is colored by my

Hot breath, white as snow, like a

Sugar glaze, a powdery donut, the taste of iron,

The taste is hard as silver, a melted

Aluminum, this pain of volcanic comfort,

I am in a sugar high, killing my

Insomnia to full wakefulness, being here is a treat,

What a treat, hard on the lung,

But a good snacking.
Using Scala in IntelliJ
Tags: Scala, Lessons Learned, Tools, Data Engineering

As a python programmer who kept using VScode, I felt lost when I started to work with IntelliJ to code in Scala. There are three key features to help building a scala project going smoothly: “Create a project”, “Add Framework Support” and “Project Structure” settings.



Create a “.IDEA” project or “sbt” project?

Both would go. I prefer to go with .IDEA with a simple try out project, while using sbt for more complicated projects and writing test cases at the same time.

Official Link: How to create SBT project

Cannot find “Scala Class” in the menu?

Right click your project name → “Add Framework Support”. Choose to add right version of Scala (Source)

Scala Compiler or SDK went wrong

On top right of IntelliJ there is a small folder sign, click it to go to setting for “Project Structure”. You can choose version of SDK there.

Scala REPL

In any script right click mouse can choose “Scala REPL” to start it in terminal.

Using test folder in sbt project

I set up testcases according to this link: Test Scala with SBT on command line.

It works. But after I did an upgrade of IntelliJ, it stopped working. Turns out that the version I was using was not stable version, so the dependency of scalatest was not registered in “External Libraries”. I have to downgrade the version of IntelliJ.
F37 Collet

Are you having any doubts about the f37 collet? Want to know the effective impacts involved in it? If yes, then have a look at this article to find out the benefits of using f37 collet. In general, a collet is a most effective type of chuck which can form a collar around the object or tool which is being held clamping in a most secured place. It can be most effectively useful for certain smaller items where standard chucks are unwieldy and inefficient. The collets can have various benefits at these sizes in a top-notch manner.

Benefits of f37 collet:

Though collets are having various narrow or wide clamping ranges, there are certain collets which consist of internal pads. These internal pads are replaceable and it is an added advantage of this product in a most effective manner.

It is readily available for you in various sizes which can completely reduce the work holding cost to the next level. There is a lot of benefits involved in this kind of process when making use of this kind of process. Hence you have to be very sure while using these collets for your own process.

Basically, the collet is accurate and secure; it is mainly because the grip of these collets can make the tool closer to the part which is being machined. Hence you have to take note of this kind of process.

The standard chucks can able to project the tool beyond the chuck which can affect rigidity in a most advanced manner. In various secondary operations, the collet can grip around the parts periphery results in more rotational concentricity. This produces the most extraordinary rounded part which is possible with a certain jaw chuck.

Effective process of f37 collet:

This f37 collet is the perfect option to turn at top spindle RPMs which is being less effective than the jaw chuck. The centrifugal force of this collet mainly tends to lessen the clamping force on the jaw chuck but it will never affect the collet seriously. It is the added advantage of these factors in a top-notch manner.

On the same basis, being less massive, the acceleration is very much faster for the collet. In this kind of process, the lathe spindle weight control will never be the best solution. Instead one can make use of the collet which is considered the most effective choice in a top-notch manner.

The changeover time in this collet is most effectively reduced and it can be the better feature of this f37 collet. When compared to jaw chucks, this collet can take very little time to change without any issues.

How To Get The Most SEO And Web Traffic Benefits From Blogging
Tags: SEO, Blog Traffic, Tools, Free Traffic

The best way to get people and search engines (which means more people) to your website is by getting relevant inbound links. If you have some spiffy new gimmick on your website this may be easy as everyone will be linking to you.

However, with a basic, solid web page the process maybe much more difficult and slower. How do you get people to link to you?

The best way is to empty your wallet! Ok, just kidding, but first we will learn how easy that is.

For example there is a pay for blogging service that will cost you at least $5 per blog post (ie: per link) and maybe $25 or more. Now that will eat up your budget, and fast. These paid blog links don’t come with any guarantee. You might get lots of visitors and you might not get any at all.

Pay per click is another great option for spending all your money. This will bring you visitors for sure and you’ll know how much each one costs. That’s it. There is no long term benefit. The ads show for only as long as you pay for them. When your money isn’t on the table, you don’t exist!

You can buy links all over the place and again this may end up costing you a pretty penny, you may or may not get suitable results but when you stop paying the results (good or bad) stop. You gain nothing for the future.

Now blogs are a great way to get visitors and develop a long term return. Blog posts tend to stick around for a long time. The trick here is to get people to blog about your website without forking over a bundle of your hard earned cash.

A great idea is to become a guest blogger. This would be where you write blog posts for other people’s blogs. Read: your links on someone else’s website for free!

This puts you in the drivers seat for a couple of reasons. First you have control over exactly what is said. Secondly, if you do a good job you may have the opportunity to make regular blog posts. That will build an audience on the blogs for your writing and turn into more and higher quality traffic for your website.

The key to being a great guest blogger is to write short (3 to 6 or so paragraph) posts that are interesting, informative, humorous and relevant to the topic of the blog (and your website). Of course they should have a link to your website. Don’t over do the linking. Don’t make it sound like an advertisement or something you just cut and pasted from your website.

A few minutes to compose a couple of well thought out paragraphs could do wonders for your web traffic. Keep looking for guest blogging opportunities and never use the same post for more than one blog. One post could bring a lifetime of traffic.

This may well be your most effective way to developing quality web traffic and enhancing your the SEO for your website(s).

Anyone want to hear Morse code from our sentences?.

Can morse be used by anyone to encode the written word?.

Morse code is a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters.

These are standardised sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes or dits and dahs.

Morse code is named from Samuel F B Morse, an inventor of the telegraph.

Morse can be heard throughout our site generated from our poems.

It can also be seen as it appears by clicking on the help icon on the play morse button.

Our music is more relaxing though 😀.
Installing geopandas on macOS

A short guide to install geopandas on macOS to process Shape files.

Install Proj and Geos

brew install proj geos

Install GDAL

Since there are no prebuilt binaries for macOS, we’ll have to build from source.

https://gdal.org/download.html#development-source

Compilation will take a while, so be patient.

Install pip packages

After GDAL completes compiling, cd out of the directory until you’re in the directory containing GDAL in my case it’s ~/Downloads (which is where I cloned the GDAL subdir source)

Now locate the parent directory of the gdal-config binary. It has to be the parent directory otherwise the pip install will fail.

export GDAL_CONFIG=$(\

find $(pwd) -name gdal-config \

-exec dirname {} \; \

)

Now install the pip libs:

Level up your software engineering skills with these 10 little known tools

Docker: use containers to develop faster and better

I hear what you’re asking. I thought we were talking about little known tools, no?

Yes, docker is certainly not the most obscure tool there is, but it is however heavily ignored. I can guarantee that you could’ve used docker for almost all your previous projects, but most people don’t. They think it’s just a knock-off of virtual machines.

The way docker works is that it creates virtualized environments where you can do anything you want. So far this is pretty similar to a VM. However, the way they achieve it is vastly different. Docker’s containers don’t operate in the same way since you don’t have to allocate specific physical measures for it to work. It doesn’t spawn its own kernel and it also doesn’t require large disk space in most cases.

You can use premade images to develop in all sorts of languages or spawn actual databases that you can use in your projects, or even work with full-fledged Linux distributions, and this is just scratching the surface.

Here’s an excellent quick video about docker in 100 seconds:

All in all, there are thousands and thousands of different resources that a developer can use, and this is the beauty of this field. Our article barely covered anything, but it served to showcase that you can always improve your workflow because once you stop evolving your skills as a software engineer, you will certainly become outdated sooner or later.

Dear readers

We have packaged a simple tool to provide word rhyming using pure web browser-based technology.

Enter some text to see what comes out!

Yours sincerely, POSOWOCO



Anyone know that rhymes are used by poets and occasionally by prose writers?

Or how well they produce sounds appealing to the reader’s senses and unify and establish a poem’s stanzaic form?.

Is Rhyme, also spelled Rime, the correspondence of two or more words with similar-sounding final syllables placed so as to echo one another?.

Would you always use rhymes when you are writing poems and need some ideas for endings?.

Where in poems or short story quotes, can they take place digitally (on computer, online)?

Or it can they just be done with paper?.

Does rhyming can give rhythm to a poem or is it the other way around?.

Can the tool on this correspondence help you in generating ideas?.

A rhyme is a repetition of similar sounds in the final stressed syllables of two or more words.

Most often, this kind of perfect rhyming is used for effect in the final positions of lines of poems and songs.

A rhyme may also variously refer to other types of similar sounds near the ends of two or more words.

A synonym is a word, morpheme, or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word, morpheme, or phrase in the same language.
