Start the Singing! Jing 1.4 is Out the Door!
Posted on Friday December 14, 2007 by Mike Curtis
My Favorite Jings, the music video! We think you’ll find this post which is unlike any other on our blog. When you have a bunch of folks working on a project so intently and for so long, something’s bound to give. What started off as a couple goofy stanzas somehow evolved into a video montage with lyrics performed by TechSmith’s own Renu Taneja. Don’t ask how this happened, we’re not entirely sure. (Maybe the Friday afternoon after a long release week had something to do with it?)
We do know that if you want to meet the Jing team in a new light, check out the music video. Oh--and we apologize if this song gets stuck in your head and friends and colleagues start giving you strange looks…
My Favorite Jings
Performed by Renu Taneja
Lyrics by Mike Curtis
Yellow ball sunshine and endless good feedback
I’ll play with Jing until I get my Wii back
Cute little arrows and captures with bling
These are a few of my favorite Jings
High scores in Summing and videos playing
I give you a mock up- see what I’m portraying
You can use Screencast (www.screencast.com) we don’t attach strings
These are a few of my favorite Jings
I love embedding FTP and blogging
Video voicemail- less on the phone calling
We work with Flickr and all that it brings
These are a few of my favorite Jings
When the apps crash.
When the link’s bad.
When you hate my idea.
I simply remember my favorite Jings
And then I don’t feel so bad

I just installed Jing 1.4, but I can't create a user account when prompted at first load.
There is an error that says "Could not create user account. Please try again"
I have even re-installed but still the same error.
Why?

Hi Kerri,
My hunch is there are some characters in the display name it doesn't like. For example, it can't include spaces. Here's the list of unapproved characters: http://screencast.com/t/cucV9gbFi Hope that does the trick!

Inspired by your song, I made one of my own, which can be found here: http://tcmtechnologyblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/little-fun-for-finals-week.html
Although I just realized that I didn't manage to get Jing into the song... but I did get in SnagIt and Camtasia!
