Jing Desktop Recording and Sharing Application
Feb 29th, 08
/ 1 Comment
I stumbled upon this application called Jing through Slickdeals.net which is free. It is a program for the OSX or Windows which records a video or takes a still shot of your desktop.
The best part of it, is that after it captures, it uploads it to Screencast.com to share. You can also set it to upload to Flickr which I tested to put the picture above or FTP or to a File. (I captured this post.)
It then automatically puts the URL to your capture on your clipboard to share easily.
Here is a video capture I uploaded to test – http://www.screencast.com/users/LESLIEx317537/folders/Jing/media/4cbdf76d-a860-409b-9780-67e2a876e725
I Eat Tweets – The Twitter Application I Wrote

I wanted to try to write a Twitter App for my Windows machine. I was inspired after seeing a application for the mac called Twitterrific. I worked on it in WPF first and couldn’t get the task bar icon to control the WPF Tweet window so I decided not to use any WPF in my app. I originally wanted to use WPF because it has nicer windows and smoother fonts, but I guess regular windows forms will have to do for now. A few of the things I wanted to include like hyper linking links in tweets I didn’t have time to implement. Maybe in a future update. To download and find out more about my Program and programs – click here to visit my web page www.LESLIEx317537.com and click on I Eat Tweets under the link category Programs. I hope you enjoy and find some use for the program. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to drop me a email. Enjoy! .LES |
Windows Live Writer – New Microsoft Live Suite

Microsoft recently released a whole new suite of Live services and programs for Windows XP and Windows Vista. A new MSN Messenger Live, Photo Gallery Live, Windows Mail Live, and Windows Live Writer Suite. If you use Vista, the new Photo Gallery Live won’t look much different from the existing Windows Vista Photo Gallery, but it has a upload to Flickr option that makes it easy to upload your pictures right from the gallery.
As I write this post, I’m using the new blogging program from Microsoft called Windows Live Writer. When I first ran it, it asked me if I want to setup a new Blog using Microsoft’s Live Spaces service or if I all ready had a existing blog somewhere else. I host Wordpress on my own web site and not on Wordpress so I thought it would be slightly more complicated to setup.
It asked me some information like my Blog URL and my username and password. Right away it detected what type of blog and started up this neat interface which I am testing out now. Now I can easily post to my Blog using my PC. Thanks Microsoft Live.

Well I got my Leopard Up-To-Date DVD in the mail today and proceeded to upgrade my existing Tiger install.It took about 1 hour and 15 minutes and when it was done, the only thing that didn’t work right were the Yahoo widgets.I’m going to try to reinstall them later.I’m still playing with Leopard and running a Time Machine initial backup as I write this post.I’ll have more to comment about it probably in a few days.
Cryis Demo for PC was released over the weekend also. I got a chance to play it for 30 minutes or so. The game is amazing, the graphics are top notch. I’ll have to buy the full version when it is released on November 16th. The game utilizes the newest graphic technologies using DX10.You can find more about the game here and download the demo here.
Google Rolls out IMAP for Gmail

Google started to roll out IMAP access on some accounts in Gmail.
So far, one of my three Gmail accounts has had it enabled. I set it up with my computer and iPhone. Now when I get email and read it, move it, or delete it, in one place, it does the same for the other device since the mail is stored on the server and is synchronized using IMAP.
You can find out more about Gmail IMAP here.

On October 18th Ubuntu released 7.10 Gutsy Gibson.
Ubuntu is a Operating System like Windows or Mac OSX, but is free and maintained by the community. It also run more efficiently on older machines than XP, making a great choice for that old machine your not using.
I upgraded from 7.04 Fiesty Fawn and it seems to be running pretty well. It has better bluetooth support I can tell so far.
You can download and find more info here.
