…Let’s See if This Works! I just spent the last day putting together some Drafts actions and iOS Shortcuts. This is just a short test to see if the process works. Then I will document it all. Image test:

…how I have been missing this app?! This will be short. Months ago someone recommended the Drafts app to me so I installed it. They had told me how awesome it would be and how helpful it would be with my growing use of OmniFocus. Well, not so much…until now! I recently picked up an iPad Pro for work and have been using it a ton. I was watching some random YouTube videos on various tools for the iPad and stumbled upon a video playlist around Drafts 5.

This is a quick post to document the process I use to auto-log SecureCRT sessions. I like to automatically log all sessions that I open, just so I have a record of all my keystrokes. It also helps when doing discovery operations so that I do not have to repeat logins to collect information that I may not have felt was important previously. This post will lay out how to setup aut logging for all sessions globally. This is also geared toward Windows, but the same logic can be used on any platform. Only the folder structures will change. ...
