How I’m doing all of these Windows Mobile screenshots

Published

on August 26, 2006

I’m using an application called Resco Photo Viewer, which comes with a “Screen Capture” app (there are others - this happens to be the one I use). I launch the screen capture app, switch to the view I want to capture, tap the button, and it saves it as a .PNG. It then opens it up in the viewer, where I have the option to send the image via email. I email it to my Flickr “upload by email” address, then view it at Flickr and drag it into the blog post I’m writing in Performancing for Firefox.

Simple, no?

Great tip, thanks. I’ve been using Remote Display Controller, which is part of the Activesync Powertools collection, and then grabbing the Windows screenshot. What you suggest works better.

XP on Eee PC 901 notes: It just feels FAST. I can’t believe I’m saying this about Windows. Suspend/resume takes about 4 seconds. Sweet! #

Since it launched, Google Chrome accounts for 5.07% of the visits to TinyScreenfuls.com. I knew I had geeky readers! #
Since it launched, Google Chrome has become the #3 browser to visit softwareblogs.intel.com (behind IE and FF). It unseated Safari. :-O #
@scaleovenstove Yes, for my blog, I definitely give more weight to feed subscribers than to site visits. Intention and attention count! #
@lyzadanger Yes, Macs are still rare at Intel, but that measures hits to our external ISN blog, from sw devs all over the world. #
@jmartens It doesn’t include Mobile Safari (iPhone). The numbers for that are lower. #

Continue to be amazed by the big battery and Atom CPU’s effect on battery life on this Eee PC 901. 3 solid hours of browsing, 60% batt left. #
Missing Full Screen in Google Chrome. It matters on the Eee PC’s 1024×600 screen. At least you can hide the bookmark bar with Ctrl+B. #

Thanks for the kind words/offers to talk re: my freakout last night. I’m OK. It happens from time to time. Life would be boring otherwise! #
@sircusa has a GREAT analysis piece of Google Chrome over at Ars. You’re sick of Chrome hype. Read it anyway. http://tinyurl.com/5nkhwt #
I’m reading Bruce Schneier’s “Beyond Fear” (finally). I love books that show me a new way of thinking. Tons of application, too (more soon). #
@bobuva Nice! Bruce Schneier is one of my Nerd Idols. Would love to meet him some day. #
@CarriBugbee Um, a good night’s sleep? And a pint of ice cream may or may not have been involved. #
Heh. Got Google Chrome? Type “about:internets” in the omnibar (without the quotes, of course). Welcome back to Windows 95! #
@chippy Hint: The internets are a series of tubes… #
Finally, a magazine available on Kindle that I might consider subscribing to: MIT Technology Review http://tinyurl.com/5brv8c #
Just noticed a glaring omission in Google Chrome: No “button” that lights up when a page has RSS feed(s) to subscribe to. Oops! #
I’m convinced that most of the world’s problems would go away if people listened to more rockin’ music. Also: Weezer Pork n Beans is good. #
@leahjones The wording of the Chrome EULA (that they claim rights to what you upload) is the exact same as YouTube’s EULA, FWIW. Still dumb. #
@jenvteal I have a couple of Twitter accounts for experimenting with groups, etc. (@pulseofintel, @intelsoftware, etc.). Many personalities. #

Dear Everyone that was worried about the Google Chrome EULA: They’re going to change it. You can relax now. http://tinyurl.com/6zhx4h #
Google’s excuse for the heinous EULA terms: “we reuse EULAs as much as possible”. That’s why the rights claim looks just like YouTube’s. #
@kellyrfeller Dude, you’re going to be on Oprah!? That’s awesome! Knock em dead! #
Dear LazyTwitter: In Mac OS X, how do I write an ISO image to a USB flash drive. Not copy the file, but image the volume. In Disk Utility. #
@billpearson Twitter status reports?! DO WANT! #
Hmm. Turns out I can’t make a Windows XP ISO into a bootable, installable USB drive in Mac OS X. Bummer. #
@sumwan I like iSquint or VisualHub for converting video files. Videora is good, too. VLC can do it with some hackery. #

Looks like Dell’s netbook, the Inspiron 910 “Mini 9″, has officiall broken cover (hat tip @jkkmobile): http://tinyurl.com/6yv5mt #
Dell “Mini 9″: Atom CPU, Ubuntu 8.04 or XP SP3, 4 or 8GB SSD, 512MB or 1GB RAM, Black or White, 1.3MP, .3MP, or no cam, $349, $399, or $449. #
@brampitoyo Yes, the Dell entry into the new “netbook” segment has been long awaited. Nothing stunning about the Mini 9, but it looks solid. #
I’m currently putting Windows XP on my Eee PC 901, so I can try out Google Chrome on it. Seems PERFECT for netbooks: fast shell for webapps! #
@brampitoyo I’m working on something of a “netbook roundup” for Intel Software Network with @jmoriarty. Will cover similarities and diffs. #
Got Windows XP running on the Eee PC 901, with Google Chrome, Firefox 3, Picasa 3, etc. It[s quite snappy. I’m impressed. #
I forgot that there are actually Windows apps that I like (Picasa, PuTTY, etc.) #
Will be putting Chrome through its paces on the Eee PC. It bills itself as a shell for web applications, right? So far, so good. #
Battery life under XP on the Eee PC 901 is still terrific. Even better than under Linux, I think. That little Atom processor rocks! #
@mtrichardson I know. But on Windows, PuTTY is the best SSH shell I know of. #
@Jmartens Picasa 3 beta came out this week. #

Headed to Emma’s kindergarten open house this morning to meet her teacher. She starts on Thursday! #
Got Google Chrome, installed in my Windows VM. Now, if only I had time to play with it! This is shaping up to be a busy day! #
I’ll agree with everyone so far - Google Chrome is FAST. Even in a Windows virtual machine, with a bunch of other stuff running. Impressive. #
Retweeting @blogan: Google Chrome’s “Inspect Element” feature is like Firebug. Very powerful. Developers should love it. #
@trishussey You’re right. Google Gears makes the Eee PC a much more capable little system. I use Google Docs as my offline office suite. #
The fact that I want to use Google Chrome made me finally switch back to Parallels’ Coherence mode, so I can put it on my big monitor. #
I can’t believe that ChromeSetup.exe is only 475KB. It didn’t seem to be a downloaders stub. Is it really that small? #
The next big question I think the Google Chrome team needs to answer: extensibility. How about compatibility with Firefox extensions? Plz? #
Got Google Chrome? Type “about:memory” into the Omnibar. I love that it compares FF and IE’s memory footprint if they’re running. #
What other hacks are there for Google Chrome? I tried about:config, which doesn’t work. Is there a list somewhere? #
Ooh. Google Chrome just informed me that the Flash plugin crashed, and was killed. Browser stayed up, though. Nice. #
Showing @bljarv a tweet from inside Ubiquity. #
@jmoriarty I haven’t had any problems with Chrome CPU usage, but I’m running it in a VM, which has a lot of CPU overhead anyway. #
I think I’m having an anxiety attack. Mildly freaking out re: just about everything. #

At the Oregon State Fair. Yes, we’re insane. #
@SarahCofer Yes, we’re at the fair for a little longer. Where are you at? #
@TheBigTomato We’re having a great time. Thanks for asking, and nice use of Twitter monitoring! #
@SarahCofer Sorry I missed you! We were by the Lego table, but way before I got your tweet. Fair was awesome! #
What I’ll be doing tomorrow: Playing with Google’s new web browser, Google Chrome. The implications of this are HUGE. Really huge. #
I daresay that Google Chrome is probably the most impactful news we’ve heard in software this year. Besides maybe the iPhone App Store. #
@templestark I haven’t seen anything that says Google Chrome won’t work on Mac. It’s open source, based on WebKit (which powers Safari). #
@templestark I see now. The initial beta will be for Windows, but Mac and Linux versions will soon follow. Sucks, but not surprising. #
The Google Blog says they used parts from WebKit AND Firefox when building Chrome. I wonder which parts? I can has Firefox extensions plz? #
Reading the Google Chrome comic book. Some very interesting stuff about how it’s parallel/multiprocess. Take note, @tersteeg! #
Chrome does some nifty stuff with memory management and has its own task manager view, too. Cool! #
“Chrome bot”: Google tests tens of thousands of real world pages using its crawling infrastructure. Within 20-30 minutes of a new build. :-O #
@ericskiff Yes, Google is releasing a browser called Chrome tomorrow. It’s on Digg, and Google released the news via a comic book. #
@mmoney The Chrome comic book is definitely worth reading. A lot of good, fundamental info in it. It’s very “Google”. #
Chrome’s new Javascript virtual machine, V8, is independent from the browser, so it can be used in other projects. #
Chrome’s address bar, called “Omnibox”, offers search suggestions, and full text search over your browsing history. That is very cool. #
And it captures the search boxes from sites you’ve been to, so you can search, say, Amazon or Wikipedia, later directly from the “omnibox”. #
Interesting security features in Chrome, too. Like popup control and process jail. Each tab is its own process, with very limited permission #
And Google Gears is built into Chrome. I love Gears - it’s super useful to access stuff like Google Docs offline. Now it’ll be baseline. #
@cdibona, Google’s Open Source dude, is all over the Chrome comic. I actually recognized his face before I saw his name! #
Some screenshots of Google Chrome: http://tinyurl.com/6rgbgz #
@segphault Yeah, that could happen. But it’s open code from the start, so if it’s good, people will make it happen. Trust @cdibona! #
@LeStew I don’t think Chrome will ever unseat Firefox, just like Firefox hasn’t unseated IE. Even though it’s better. #
