Bowmont Park in February ‘06

Bowmont Park in February ‘06Originally uploaded by iambryan2007

A cold day in February of last year.  This photo was taken during an early morning hike at Bowmont Park in Calgary Alberta.

So what is this all about anyway?

… so really… what is this all about?

Well I have decided that my soapbox is ready.  This is going to be the home of my blog for the timebeing as I look to find a more permanent host and domain in this blogosphere.

ScreenCasting: The Jing Project and UltraScreen Recorder

 

I recently came across the Jing Project.  It is being setup by Techsmith (the folks that bring you Camtasia Suite for screen capping and creating wicked training vids).

The tool is cross platform (Windows and Mac – doesn’t look like linux is in the works) and allows you to create video and annotated screen captures and either save them (swf for video and png for pictures) locally for manual embedding in websites, attachments to emails, etc… or you can share them via a short URL to screencast.com (a user ID is required to store items).

Such a fine specimen of technical writing is below.  lol, yeah right.  If I were staying in a hotel and I read that I think I would have ended up locking up my laptop and crying myself to sleep.  Even a technically literate person would find themselves in a bit of confusion
