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?
That slideshow is freakin' sweet. Very smooth and very konqi friendly :-)
Thanks :-)
For some reason it stutters on firefox, but works smoothly on IE and Konqi.
If I generate it standalone on a page, it works ok on Firefox, but I get artifacts on both Firefox and Konqi.
Works like a charm on IE6, too... brilliant!
Very nice!
You might want to use
"cursor:pointer" for the links in the toolbar (so that the cursor changed to indicate a link).
Great idea, I didn't know how to do that!
