Vncrec
Recently I was pleasantly surprised to find that there's an excellent article about
vncrec on Linux Gazzete. vncrec is a enhanced version of vncviewier to record
a vnc sesession. I spent just a couple of days to modify vncviewer to record
RFB events to a file and then play the recorded file. The software didn't get
much attention when I first wrote it more than a couple of years ago but
it seems it became a little bit more popular this year.
As always, cool things about open source software is that other people who think the software cool sometimes contributes features back to the software. Features like converting the recorded session to series of image files or directly converting recorded file to mpeg movies are provieded by others. And those are what made this "I wrote this just because I thought it's cool" piece of program to a 100 times more useful software.
It never attracted enough people to build a development community around it but it's nice to know the software is used somewhere in the world.
