I was trying out this software called JingProject. Basically it’s a software to capture your screen. Not only image, it can also make video, capturing what you’re doing in your computer. And it’s totally free!
And here’s my first video called : How to Plurk!
Quick review:
I think it’s a great software! However the sharing option baffled me. I wanted to keep a copy of my capture in my hard disk and I also wanted to upload it into screencast.com. However, after saving a copy in my hard disk, I pressed the button to get it uploaded into screencast and it just refused to do so!
Another disadvantage is that the output file can only be in swf. Most of video sharing websites don’t support uploading swf.
So…
What do you think about Jing? Do you guys have any similar software to share?
This is not a pun. I WANT SAMSUNG INNOV8 RIGHT FREAKING NOW. NOW!!
Ahem.
Ok, so I was invited to the Samsung’s first blogger night (after shamelessly e-mailing Daniel from Samsung to be included. WAHAHAHA. Srsly!)
I arrived late because I had class until 7 PM. After class I hurriedly checked gothere.sg for directions hahaha!
Apparently Vivocity is quite big I spent quite some time trying to find the Samsung Flagship store.
I finally found it and quickly sat on a sofa beside Rinaz and listening to the presentation. Was quickly impressed by the specifications.

I mean, seriously, 8 megapixels? With smile shutter and blink shutter? I WANT. My current camera Sony DSC T70 has it, but then it will be great if my phone has it so I don’t need to bring 2 gadgets (heavy!).
And the great news is.. It uses Symbian S60! Woohoo! If there’s one thing that always makes me hesitant to “jump ship” from my current phone manufacturer, it’s the operating system. I’m so used to Symbian and I think it rocks. Plus, using Symbian means opportunity to add applications developed for Symbian. Yeay to Symbian!
So after the presentation, came the most exciting part : The Game! (and when you remember about it, you lose)

Anyway, we were supposed to take 3 pictures with our cameras (remember they asked us to bring camera in the invitation?) about the things that inspire us about Samsung Innov8.
The entries were then pasted together on this board..

Ok I forgot to take a picture of my own submission Nevertheless here it is, created by ScrapBlog. Haha. I RULZ.
And.. And…
I didn’t win. Sighness.
Anyway, it was a fun night. It has a relaxed atmosphere and I enjoyed myself. It was my first blogger event ever and well, what an event! It’s not big or extravagant and stuff but it was fun, to the point, and no fluff.
I’m aware of the fact that Google stores cookies in my computer. Not only that, they keep track of my search history. They scan the e-mails I sent and received. All just to “display relevant ads” to me.
I can’t say much. I’m forever indebted to Google for their marvelous search engine and online AJAX applications such as Google Calendar and Google Docs.
But this time they scare me.
Please do explain to me why does this ad appear when I’m currently using the software advertised? (You can see it in the taskbar in my screenshot, the one with the blue icon.) Do they look inside my computer process too? Taking note of what software I’m using, how long I’m using it, and such other stuffs?
Maybe next time they can look inside my media player and take note of the music I’m listening (can be seen here though) and what video I’m watching.
Geez. Talk about privacy.
Maybe the following video is right after all.
Anyway, sorry for the lack of posts. Hell week is upcoming ongoing. Gonna have 3 exams this term, not 1 like the previous term. Argh.
Just randomly browsing Firefox Add-ons this morning and found out that one of my favourite add-ons, Performancing For Firefox, has changed into ScribeFire.
For you who don’ t know yet, PFF (now ScribeFire) is a full featured text editor attached in Mozilla Firefox which can post the thing you typed directly into your blog (after being configured, of course).
And for my fellow bloggers who is still using B**gs*o*, I’m super sure that you all are going to love it. Like, LOVE it. I know the pain of logging in (that failed) and even if you can make it, the pain of publishing (that failed…too) since I once used that system. Ever since it upgraded into the said-to-be-not-beta-anymore version, I heard it’s getting worse. Lucky I have converted to Wordpress before I’m forced to upgrade. ScribeFire removes all these logging in and publishing hassle in an instant!
Hmm, so.. What’s changed in ScribeFire? I don’t really see significant changes. Maybe it’s just that the buttons have changed color into orange, which IMHO don’t really match the whole interface which is kinda blue-y.
Using ScribeFire is really a no-fuss, hassle-free thing. Its icon sit at the bottom right corner of your Mozilla Firefox and pops up instantly when you click on it.
And voila! A full WYSIWYG editor right on your browser! Even better than Wordpress’ WYSIWYG, to be honest
What’s more? You can add Technorati tags into your post instantly, you can bookmark the posts at del.icio.us using the very same tags, you can also send trackbacks and pings instantly, just from that one window of ScribeFire.
Actually I wanted to post up a tutorial to set up ScribeFire, but really, I have more important things to attend to. Like… Coding for my project? So I assume you guys are smart enough to use ScribeFire heh heh
My friend Martin was sent this e-mail as seen below.
I asked him to forward it into my e-mail, in the middle of BGS class. ha ha
I dunno but it’s somehow ambiguous to me.
Especially this very line.
If you’re thinking of upgrading to Vista, you’ll probably need a new computer.
Seriously, what popped into my mind at the first time is :
If you’re thinking of upgrading to Vista, duh? Your computer will break down. You’ll probably need a new computer.
Whoopsie. Turned out the phrase can also be interpreted in another way. See this for more info.
Heh. I just know that Mac can run Windows and Microsoft Office (thx martin for the info). Brilliant. I never eyed Mac before because my specific school (means the School of Information Systems) is so in love with Microsoft. Oh FYI, I have Microsoft softwares for free because of that, including the Windows Vista. Mwahahahaha. So far I’ve downloaded quite a lot of softwares from my e-academy. Including Project (for the sake of project management’s project. Never used it again though), Visio (damn crucial for my Data Management class. Those E-R diagrams), and OneNote (the shared workplace feature is my substitute of MSN Messenger.Oops. Windows Live Messenger).
Omigosh. So many links. And I’m doing this in a middle of BGS class. Ha ha. Signing off.
BY THE WAYYYY
anybody to buy me a MacBook? =D (hover over the link)
Messengers are undoubtedly my medicine for boredom. Guess that explains why I have 4 messengers installed on my stupid slow lappy.
MSN Messenger is surely the most widely used, yet the most lousy, IMHO. Yahoo Messenger is more stable, yet there are too many people who prefer MSN Messenger or just don’t know that Yahoo Messenger exists. Skype is the innovative one, aiming to provide free calls for everyone, very stable, even though I think the sound quality still doesn’t defeat Yahoo Messenger’s.
But my favourite is still Google Talk aka GTalk.
I know, I know, it doesn’t have nudge/buzz feature like MSN or YM that can serve as a powerful tool to bug somebody who is just too busy to change the messenger’s status to “Busy”. It doesn’t have cute emoticons like YM nor allow us to make customized emoticons like MSN. But the stability, the voice quality, and the transfer rate are just superb.
But actually this is the premier reason why…
(some names and other stuffs are blacked out to protect privacy)
See? In a quick glance, would you know that I’m actually chatting? Thus, GTalk is the perfect messenger to use in the middle of the class. :p Coz even the TA (Teaching Assistant) sitting right behind you won’t know that you’re actually chatting, not researching about Boolean (as you can see I’m opening a Wikipedia page of Boolean).
Even better.
GTalk is embedded in Gmail.
At a quick glance, do you know that I’m actually chatting?
The chat box is on the bottom right. See?
I’m not encouraging you to chat in the middle of the class though. =P
Tired of YouTube? Or Yahoo Video? Or any other videos videos site?
Try VideoJug! They have loads, and I mean it loads, DIY videos which can help you to do, ahem, things.
My fave is the food category! It teaches you how to cook some very interesting dishes. Lasagna, Apple Crumble, Moussaka, hmmm it revived my girlish side!
And just for the example, (view more by visiting the site) here I post one of their how-to videos.
Enjoy. And I mean it. Enjoy.
I dunno why but I can’t post the video. Ergh. Sucks. I think it’s the Wordpress post editor. Ergh.
I spent quite some time trying to find the Samsung Flagship store.
Nevertheless here it is, created by ScrapBlog. Haha. I RULZ.
