Audio editing on Android

 This app is the "Audacity" of Android, although it does cost, AudioLab:
AudioLab for Android


If you're familiar with Audacity for Windows, this is its Android cousin.

I just replace a missing car remote for a very low price and relatively easy instructions for setting it up for my car.

A free markdown editor

So realized I needed a "ghostwriter."  Not that kind of ghostwriter.  So having most of my info-tech notations in text made me suddenly realize occasionally I will need a "markdown editor."  And "Ghostwriter" is a free "markdown editor."

AutoHotKey script to find mouse coordinates

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
#Warn ; Recommended for catching common errors.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.


; While CapsLock is toggled On
; Script will display Mouse Position (coordinates) as a tooltip at Top-Left corner of screen.
; Also allows to copy them (to clipboard) with a PrintScreen button.

#SingleInstance force ; only one instance of script can run

#Persistent ; to make it run indefinitely
settimer start1, 0 ; "0" to make it update position instantly
return

start1:
if !GetKeyState("capslock","T") ; whether capslock is on or off
{
tooltip ; if off, don't show tooltip at all.
}
else
{ ; if on
CoordMode, ToolTip, Screen ; makes tooltip to appear at position, relative to screen.
CoordMode, Mouse, Screen ; makes mouse coordinates to be relative to screen.
MouseGetPos xx, yy ; get mouse x and y position, store as %xx% and %yy%
tooltip %xx% %yy%, 0, 0 ; display tooltip of %xx% %yy% at coordinates x0 y0.
PrintScreen:: ; assign new function to PrintScreen. If pressed...
clipboard == %xx% %yy% ; ...store %xx% %yy% to clipboard.
return
}

Autohotkey is your WIndows superpower

 Autohotkey (AHK) is a Windows programming macro application to click the mouse or repeat keystrokes to your heart's content.  I just wrote this 6-line program to click "GO LIVE" button in Youtube, launched by Windows (Task) Scheduler at a particular time, because we kept forgetting to click the "GO LIVE" to begin our livestreams.  It is actually setup "in case you forgot" as "GO LIVE" becomes "END LIVESTREAM".  
The mouse coordinates are particular to the computer it was intended for and may not match your computer.
