Screencasting — the not-so-ancient art of recording the computer screen for the entertainment and enrichment of others — has evolved into quite a Hydra of options.

Dilo looks up words at web dictionaires and shows the English/French/Spanish or German translation of that word. It is kind of comparable to “Babylon” for Windows, but uses a public web-dictionary instead of having a local one.

Back home since Wednesday. Rotated to clean up flat for birthday party since and partied successfully. More visitors tomorrow.
