Screen recorder

Never ceases to amaze me the interesting things people do with open protocols.

vnc2swf - Screen Recorder is an open source screen recorder that captures screen motion through the VNC protocol and records it to a flash movie.



I just finished using Camtasia at work to creat 30mb .avi files.

Use any WLAN mPCI card in your Thinkpad

IBM Thinkpads have a check in their BIOS to make sure all wireless cards are factory authorized.

Here's a way to get around it so you can use any card you want:

Excellent website

If you're going to have a website, it should aspire to be like this:

Parsing Command-Line Options

There's the venerable getopt and linux style getopt_long(), but popt seems to be a nicer version. For applications with argument lists that look like they're for a compiler popt lets you define aliases. However these are all GNU/POSIX routines.

In delphi land the paramlst unit is pretty good, but leads to a cluttered application program.

Seems like there's a WIN32 getopt from Chris Sells, with an attendant .NET port This also has one of my wishes- automatic usage generation.

I think the ideal solution would specify the command line arguments (and here's the big key) and their usage in a separate, spell checkable, file. You could then run a utility on this file to generate the routines for accessing the command line args.

CVS--Concurrent Versions System: Moving a repository

Moving a CVS repository isn't a major feat. The only thing that references the repository are checked out files. It is easiest to cvs release -d all your checked out working directories, then just move the repository directory tree.

Just make sure working files are all checked in first.

I saw serveral news group snippets regarding find -exec and a little scripting so you don't have to cvs release -d. But that seems like a PITA.
