A little silence never hurt anybody
So I thought I’d write a little post letting everyone know that I haven’t forgotten about them. I’ve been a little busy with working on a Rails blog that I was going to be creating, and have had a few web design projects I’ve been trying to get finished up. Hopefully I won’t be much longer! I have a few cool things for you to check out while I’m away. The first one is called Synergy. It’s a cool open source utility that I’ve been using at work to connect all my computers (6 in total) together with the ability to use 1 set of keyboard and mouse. The second is called iShowU. It’s a cool little screen recording utility that I just purchased to help with creating some screencasts on a Mac. It’s about 20 bucks and gives me a clean looking file that through the use of a few programs I can convert the MOV file to an AVI file so I can edit and produce in Camtasia Studio. Hopefully sometime in the near future Camtasia Studio will be for a Mac. But until then, iShowU will do the trick for me.
I hope to have a new screencast up soon that will show you Synergy (at least on each side, Mac and PC), and maybe one that shows you a few things about iShowU. I have a list of some ROR screencasts that I’d like to do, but I’m finding that I need to really just record and then splice together all sorts of pieces to get a screencast. Maybe I’ll have the option soon to create shorter ones with the use of Jing, iShowU, and Camtasia Studio.
