The easy way of “Show me how!”

Have you ever had the need to show someone how to do this and that, its easy you say – just click on “browse” and then select “This and that” and then click “ok”…  You as well as I know that the person in the other end will say, where is that – no I don’t show that…  in other words, a Video is worth a thousand words..

Introducing; http://www.jingproject.com/
This is a very easy and simple “screen grabber”, it will allow you to make screenshots and screen’videos’ in a second, and best of all allow you to share these with others instantly (via the something called Screencast)..

for a live demo of a video capture (there is no sound here, but that’s only because I did not have a microphone nearby)..

For now the service is free, but I suppose that will not last forever. The driving force behind the product is Techsmith, known for products like SnagIT and Camtasia Studio.

I use Jing for documentation all the time now.

“Cross reference” your E-Mails

Xnobi 3
www.xobni.com If you as I recieve and send a ton of mails daily you quickly loose ‘the big picture’, when did you send that mail to whomever@whereever.com well, here is a plug-in for Outlook that will assist you in “data-mining” your email contacts.  It is very simple and cool, but also somewhat hard to explain in a simple manner.

Basically, once installed you can click on any mail and the plug-in will immediately give you a lot of information about the sender (what ‘contacts’ you have in common based upon CC’s in e-mails between you, a list of the latest mails to and from this person and finally a list of files exchanged in e-mails to and from you and this person)..  Go to www.xobni.com website for a more detailed presentation.. 

I’m sold to this concept.

Neat DVB-T TV Antenna gadget

Flagpole
Now I receive TV via a Cable provider, but many still use their old analog antenna’s on the roof.  In 2009 or 2010 the terrestrial broadcast of analog TV signals will cease in Denmark, and be replaced by purely digital broadcast DVB-T (at least for the national channels), thus the time is right for replacing those old “bird catcher antennas”, but why not make it an aesthetically pleasing experience at the same time!?! – let’s face it antennas are not gennerally that pretty..

Along came www.tertek.dk with a cool antenna to mount on the top of your flagpole :-)   nifty, the Danish IT magazine www.pcworld.dk tested the product and were very pleased with the result.

One concern I have though, what about lightning?  But hey, they must have thought about that and added a fuse or something..
