Email Automation
Many of us send emails from work to our home computer to remind us to do something. Why not have your home computer do it for you when it receives the email?
Mac OS X Hints has a neat tip that explains how to send an email from work to your home Mac computer to tell it to run a script. The example shows how to start a bittorrent download. But here are some other examples that might be fun:
- Tell Safari to save a bookmark
- Save a photo in iPhoto
- Add contact information to Address Book
- Add an item to your home To Do list
I'm sure that I'll think of many more, but the point is that it is easy to set up email automation and then use emails to trigger that automation. Be creative and see what you can come up with.
