    According to my postulate “Don’t do what a computer can do for you” I want to automate my blogging. Why write if a computer can show what you’re doing. I need a program that sits in the tray and takes screenshots every couple of seconds and uploads it on a website with a gallery. Is there a software like that out there? If not does someone have spare time to do something like this?

    1. I know ZScreen can with a button press take a screenshot and upload it to ftp, but I don’t think you can set it to do it periodically. Still, it’s open source so worst case it would just need that functionality rigged up to a timer.
      Or, for super hacky fun times, make a small program or script which sends out an event for printscreen being pressed every so often :)


    2. Need I remind you of your Second Postulate, Master-in-Training Marcinkowski? Write it yourself, hell, integrate your physics engine into it, too. You could have the little tray icon realistically react to mouse input.


    3. I think he has more interesting stuff to code and there is lots of it.


    4. the point of bloging is the personal touch from the author,ideas,thoughts, updates and not bullshit from his screen. we don’t want to see what you wank to.

      So we could see L-D source code as you are writing it? 😀


    6. Quite honestly, screenshots won’t inform us fully. You need something like StatSVN to let us know how many lines of codes and what updates you’re making specifically every time you build.


    7. “we don’t want to see what you wank to.”. Bullshit I say.

      Seriously, the whole idea sounds very absurd. How is a person viewing the images supposed to actually UNDERSTAND what is being done, when the only instance of such information resides in developers mind?


    8. I’ll make it. Should only take a few minutes in C#


    9. I think you should transform this blog into a monthly web-based magazine on the development of link-dead, but keep the blog itself for humanities and arnold classics etc.


    10. I found a neat program called timesnapper and icyscrean. Both have the functionality.

      I want to expose my development. Which would mean showing code and the game while I’m actually testing it. Looking at the game tells you more than my little blog updates. I would comment it from time to time of course. Maybe this would be a cool feature for a blog premium member ($$$).


    11. “($$$)”

      I will not like you.


    12. shitpickle

      “blog premium member ($$$)”

    13. Hehheh. The reaction made me laugh.


    14. “blog premium member ($$$)”

      Your a good troll.
