Smarty Pants Coding - Coding with a touch of flava

It's been almost a month since I announced ImageWind.net, my current personal Silverlight project. I've really been enjoying working on Image Wind over the last several weeks and I wanted to put together a video showing off what Image Wind currently looks like.

A friend on Twitter turned me on to Screenr.com this week, and that is what I used to record this screencast. I would highly suggest checking out Screenr.com if you want to record something on your computer quick. It records the display and audio with no install (so long as you have Java installed) - really cool.

I'm trying to encourage people headed to PDC 2009 next week to post a bunch of pictures from their phones on Twitter so they can be watched in ImageWind. If you are going to post any pictures from PDC be sure to include "PDC" in the tweet text. Here is where you can find images posted with PDC in the text:

I still have about 20-30 items on my TODO:: list for Image Wind - some of which are pretty big changes. I hope you are checking out ImageWind.net every once and a while and staying on top of the changes being made via the change log. You can also follow @ImageWind on Twitter to stay on top of current work and to see some interesting images discovered via ImageWind.

I'm very happy to say that tonight I'm making public my current side project, ImageWind.Net.

ImageWind.Net is written in Silverlight 3, and is a real-time visualizer of the images being posted to Twitter via TwitPic. The stream of images is like a never ending circus of the internet - but watch out, you may not want to see some of this stuff.

The current beta doesn't have much in the way of options yet, but it does have some basic abilities including retweeting an image, viewing the tweet details for an image, and viewing the images in both thumbnail and full views. There is a lot of work left to do, and a good bit of work already done but not yet finished, so please stay tuned for future updates here and in the beta's change log.
