Welcome to Episode 63 of my podcast. The view from the crow's nest. I hope you're very well, and thank you very much for joining me. So, on today's episode, it's going to be a rerun of yesterday's episode because basically what once again all I've done is work on audience ninja for our team of our two clients, and it's just been a whole day of doing that again. But there are a couple of little things that I did do today which I thought were really quite cool and I wanted to share with you. If these might be the sort of things you'd like maybe they're not. I spend the huge part of my day in my work, no matter what I'm doing, actually, if I'm on the computer then I'm working usually in browser windows, unless I'm recording music or doing something specific like photoshopping stuff or whatever, then I'm working in browser, and a little while ago, like a month or two ago, I started using the Microsoft Edge browser, not something I would normally do I would have laughed at myself, if I thought of that, you know, a couple of months before I said I would never use a Microsoft browser. Nonetheless, I tried it and it is blazingly fast. So that in itself is already good, but today I was on a bit of a mission, as you know, always trying to find the equal or better results in less time so I'm always looking for more efficient ways of getting stuff done and be more organised. And so today I was looking at my browser extension and tabs kind of game, because it occurred to me that sometimes, and you may be like this if you're working. You know, I might have 15 2030 browser tabs open across different windows, you know, and you're flicking back and forth between them which is fine, but then you start losing track of where you've got documents open or this open although open, and I thought there must be an extension that kind of gives you like an overview so that you can just go to one extension and it shows you all the tabs that you've got open in a really useful way. So, today I managed to find that extension. And then I managed to find another extension that I'm really geeking out here and this is probably boring as hell for you so I apologise if it is but I found another extension, which gives me very easily, an overview of all my extensions not my browser tabs, the things that are open but my extensions. And what's really cool is you can group them into almost like workspaces So what I mean by that is, the more extensions you've added to your browser, the slower the browser becomes. But most of those extensions, you don't need them very often or you only use them on certain sites, you know if you're shopping or something like that, whatever it might be. So this allows you to basically at the click of a button switch between groups of extensions that you've personally grouped together so you might have one group which is for shopping when you're looking for the best deals and automatically entering discount codes and stuff like that. Or it might be research you know when you're researching something on Google and you need to track keywords and all of this or doesn't matter whatever it is point is that allowed me to now better organise my extensions and remove all the ones that I don't use every day and put them in their own groups that is and so my browser is quicker had I more organised. So that was my second bit of geeking out on the browser. The third thing was finding out you could add shortcut keys, you know like Ctrl P is print, so you can add a shortcut key to any, any browser extension that you want. So, basically those two browser extensions I just mentioned are now shortcut into alt one ought to so I can get to the really easily anytime I want without having to find them. So that immediately organise myself a lot better. And the last part of my geekery was in Microsoft Edge they've been banging on about thing called collections and I've kind of ignored it for the last couple of months and I thought well let me have a look at that
