Interesting article with tips for screencasting (uhm, online “movies of software”). Some of them are pretty good (e.g. “Bear in mind that the user’s eyes will follow the active cursor, so if you’re switching from clicking to typing, have the mouse pointer stop near where the text cursor starts”). Saw it on BoS forums.

Fluxiom, a digital asset management web application, has been released today. I’ll certainly try it and the reason is an incredible video they had released some months ago.

It’s amazing how I still remember that video. I wish I had the same skills in video making. I’ve tried making an introductory video for Magna CRM and discovered it’s harder than it seems. Things like Wink make the process easier, but real-time video with voice is tough.

PlanHack is a task management tool created by fellow mISV Jesse Kim (his blog is here).

Jesse is currently looking for beta testers, so if you’re interested download the beta and give it a try.

PlanHack is a downloadable web application, the same way Magna CRM is, so you need a Web Server with PHP to run it.

As I was writing in this post, PageRank was updating for http://rapidsignal.com/. It is now a little over a month since this started and the PR is now stable again (at least that’s what all PR tools report). Thankfully it stabilized on 6!

eZ Systems has released a new PEAR package (currently in alpha) to parse email messages. This tutorial by Derick Rethans shows how to use it.

I’m really interested in this as I want to implement email integration for Magna CRM (although there are a lot of features ahead of this).
