pathway creators like Matan(IsraeliRedDragon), Perishing Flames, Tech Geek and others! The widget feature the
recording from most recent to least for any member you add to the settings. Download here or visit Apple's widget page.

Um, sorry Windows users! You have to wait for Gates to catch up!

Waaaait a minute

*tried to understand*

So basically you download this and you can see form your desktop a certain member's latest video uploads?
Awesome, but sometimes I upload like 10 vids in a row heheheh.

Quote:User: lists all videos by a user.

Oh my... 245 videos and still going higher.. hmmm... I think I'm a great source lol!

@ Tech: Wow, thanks for the Widget site. I didn't know about that resourse and the widgets look very professional.

@ Matan: Yes, Matan I have the YouTube widget set to your member name right now since you have the most recordings. All 245 are shown in Widget and of course I have to scroll to see them, but it's a lot easier to sort this way than through the YouTube site itself. There's a feature on the Widget to view the 'recently added', so I won't miss an upload.

@All: I guess I'm wrong. Some Widgets work on Windows too(see Yahoo site above). Makes sense since they are JavaScript and CSS.

@perishingflames, thanks for correcting me. I guess I have to 'get with the, ahem "program. " '

Here's what's up with me:

1.) MarbleMiniGolf level at concept stage. Some super ideas just came to me out of the blue, but I have the whole level 'thought' out. I just need to design it. I'll start on paper this week. I'm not sure if I'll submit 2 levels OR 1 incorporating both ideas( windmill and dino). I know how I'm going to make the custom .dif too! If it works like I plan, I think the community will enjoy the level(s). I'm hoping to have some miniGolf gameplay and have the player feel like they are at the mini Golf course for real.

2.) Sort of a top -secret project which involves the application Blender. Don't know if I have time to work on this project, but I want to try something interesting.

3.) I'd like to make a Widget that's specifically for the MarbleBlast community. I'll use the Yahoo Widget Engine so Mac and Windows can use it. Haven't decided what it'll do yet.

Oh yeah, 4.) Petitioning Garagegames to grant Matan Associate status.

Man, I love this YouTube Widget. I instantly see when Matan creates a new recording.

Yeah If matan becomes an associate...then he can ban annoying people who bump tons of topics, and just plain make stupid comments. Lol. Beware Luke.

Oh yeah and one thing I don't like that much about Youtube is that when Matan makes a new recording and uploads it, it won't show it for a while (for me at least) even if I've already been provided a link to it (that works). Oh yeah and once I view a from the toolbar with new vids, it won't show up again for hours-days. Lol.

While Matan is really helpful around the marble blast forums, I don't think he's Associate material. Typically Associates are given associate status for posting tons of resources in a very wide range of development areas. Examples include writing tutorials on development with TGE, TGB, etc.... Btw, associates are not moderators, only GG employees can delete posts etc...

Oh yeah and what was that other screen recorder someone mentioned not too long ago...I checked it out, it was sweet. I forgot the website. I forget the name though. Has an X or Z in it lol

@ perishingflames, It might be SnapZ Pro X by ambrosia(the recorder)

@Bob, I might have got carried away with the Associate idea. I think I realized it's for developers, but it would be cool to have some special status for really helpful people here at our forum. Kinda the way Apple has status for members at their discussion forums who are helpful.
