So i have to admit that one of my favorite new applications is Screener. What screenr allows you to do is to easily, quickly and painlessly record a desktop session, whether you are on a Mac, PC, or linux computer using a java applet (which is pretty fast).
Once you record your screencast, you can then manage and administer your own channel similar to a Youtube or Vimeo channel. You get the benefit of a sleek player that clearly distinguishes itself from the rest, simple and has basic sharing capabilities.
Here is a demo by Netuts of an editable list that takes advantage of HTML 5 and the localStorage attribute and works with compatible browsers. Continue reading

I much like every other developer has cursed Microsoft for bringing the ever, non-standards compliant Internet Explorer Browser suite to the world. Fortunately the pain of dealing with Microsodt based browsers has lessened but some pain at times is undeniable.

It seems one of the highest keyword searches in Google is “jQuery Google Maps” so i figured i may as well continue and make a series of plugins that make Google Maps and jQuery play together.
This time is the jMapping Google Maps plugin. So here is the usual skinny on the features and background:
If you have ever had to work with PHP the luxury of becoming used to simple things like request parameter processing can be lost. Sometimes you have no alternative if you are working with a simple HTML file.
Hence comes in this nifty little jquery plugin, it allows you to grab parameters from the url and then process them accordingly. One way that this could be useful is if you wanted to detect a page state or to display or hide an element depending on the state.
You can download the plugin here and its also fairly light too which is good.
Here is an example of the source, its relatively short so i am posting it here and you can give it a try: Continue reading
