This weekend I used Snapz Pro to make my first screencast. Call me lazy: I did it in one take and there’s no audio, but I think the result is pretty good for a first try. It’s also given me a couple of ideas for more online demos to do soon.

Thanks to Jonathan Rentzsch for twitter-coaching me in screencasting and for compressing my video.
By now we’ve seen plenty of toy demos of the various scripting language bridges to Cocoa. The word is out that scripting languages can be used to build significant applications, but the gap between demonstration and reality still seems wide. Also, it’s not easy to compare and qualify bridges. Microbenchmarks miss the point; as a developer, I want to know “can this bridge go all the way with me?” And, “if I get stuck, then what?”
Are you getting tired of waiting for Wil Shipley to release Delicious Library 2?
I hear that he is adding the ability to publish your library online. But why wait? Here’s a web server that you can inject into Delicious Library and start sharing your library today. It’s primitive, but you can easily customize it to your heart’s delight. It’s the same web server that I used in my screencast, and it is built using NuAnywhere, which ships with Nu and NuHTTP, a reusable web server component that I wrote to plug into Cocoa applications.
