I’ve decided to make a switch from where I’m hosting my blog. I would like to encourage everyone to visit my blog here instead. I will be using this domain for something in the future, but TechTalkNews.com as we know it will be discontinued. I’d like to thank all you faithful viewers and hope that I will see you at my new blog site where I’ll still be hosting much of what you’ve found here.
With air pollution, traffic and gas prices all on the rise, it increasingly makes sense to consider how environmentally friendly a city is before moving there.

So this is really just a test post, but I wanted to show you what the proper way of contacting TechSmith’s Technical Support department.
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.
