New BartleBlog Feature: marketspeak!
Now, I don't know if this is useful, but I do think it's way neat.
Inspired by S5, rst2s5, and mootools I took an hour (or two) and hacked this neat little slide tool.
The goals differ from S5 in that I intend to write a frontend, so that you have a sort of very-poor-man's powerpoint, but also in that the output should be simple to embed in other pages so that I can eventually make this a part of bartleblog.
Check it out (click to go to next slide, move mouse to the top of the slideshow for controls):
There may be an artifact when you slide out the syntax-highlighted boxes, but I have no idea how to fix it.
Also, I have not tested it at all in IE, so if it fails there, don't worry, that's to be expected!
Next time I speak in public, I may use this :-)
And, as a teaser... this is the source for the presentation you just saw:
Why use BartleBlog ================== (If you are a nerd) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :author: Roberto Alsina <ralsina@kde.org> It's nerd-oriented ------------------ It's trivial to display source code, with proper syntax highlighting. .. code-block:: python from base64 import * def myFirstFunction(): print b64decode ('YnllIHdvcmxkIQ==') Even for things like shell sessions. Dammit, I am a nerd, I will try to add every nerd feature I deem cool. It does things simply --------------------- Wanna show a flickr photo? .. code-block:: rst .. flickr:: myPhotoTitle How about using openomy.com to share your files? And whatever else you can think of, it probably **can** be done. It's very easy to extend ------------------------ Really. It's simple python code. * The module to do syntax highlighting has 41 lines. * The module to do dynamic animated menus has 103. * The module to do calendars has 72. If there is a python module or web service to do what you want, hooking it into BartleBlog is simple. And it has kickass features --------------------------- Like online, embedded, animated slideshows! Like this one! Done with 65 lines of simple almost-plain-text markup! Ok, it's not fully implemented yet, because it needs some manual code, but the hard part is done! Or automatic SVN changelog display ( I admit that's *somewhat niche* ;-)) Now, who else has that kind of thing?
