I use tasker on android along with a plugin to automate turning down my screen brightness in the evenings, turning off screen rotation in a particular orientation for specific apps (IE I prefer to text in portrait mode since I can see what I'm replying to).
I've semiautomated setting up a new laptop using a private repo with my dot files with some bash scripts. Started with linux, now works with Mac os x (but won't handle linux well and I haven't gone back enough to make it worth case by case stuff).
I still have to generate a public private key pair, and some things on macs aren't perfect, but I have a todo list for the non automated things in the repo. I get going less on new macs nowdays since the keyboards are such crap (fingers crossed this year will bring better 13 inch keyboards), but everytime I do it I add something.
