So here I am working up lots of companion programs for the course books I use in my language school with Primary kids. Fairly mundane and humdrum, but the fact that my school features some tatty old Pentium 3s running Ubuntu and sporting my content reinforcement programs sells the bl**dy place.
However I am greatly assisted by the following: 1. A Belkin Nostromo n52 gamepad; http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=157024 The best 40 bucks I ever spent . . . Personally, I can't be bothered with computer games, but the Nostromo Speedpad can be programmed for any menu command you like - and makes a fantastic difference with Runtime Revolution; and has saved my wrists and shoulders. 2. As I program on a Mac for delivery on Linux I usually take screen shots of text fields that are not to be editable and import them into RR. By setting the ScreenShot format to PNG on my Mac I don't need to spend buckets of time changing graphic format with Preview of GIMP - just import directly. 3. I have 2 monitors so that I can drop out of RR and work with GIMP or somesuch else on the other monitor while keeping my current work stack in full view. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
