Aargh. Only works in 10.8.x - I like new tech but I see no need to upgrade beyond 10.6.8 at the mo' :(

I'm not trying to be jerk but, why?

I stay on OS X 10.6 because later versions drop support for PowerPC (Rosetta) applications. Many programs - abandoned programs and games - do not have Intel versions. And some games have Intel versions, but the Intel version costs money or is incompatible with previous saved games. I use these old programs rarely, but like to have the option of opening their files or playing those games.

Such applications include Airburst Extreme, the Fountain Music iTunes visualizer, Marble Blast Gold, N-Ball, Noise, SilverCreator v1.5, Sonic Robo Blast II, Super DX Ball, Super Phoenix, Water Tower, and Wire Hang Redux. There may be some plug-ins for various apps I'm forgetting, too.

Could anyone recommend a good/free program for making these kind of animated gifs that record your computer (like the one on Shuttle's homepage)? I've been trying to add the same kind of thing to my site but I don't know how to do it.

I used the built-in Quicktime Player to do a screen recording. Then I used an online mov-to-gif converter. I had a hard time getting it down to a decent size, though. Hope that helps!

I've heard and seen many good things about LICEcap[0]. There doesn't appear to be a Linux install, just so you know.

If anyone needs something similar for Windows, use https://gist.github.com/arnehormann/5975783 and put all shortcuts with a folder into the quickstart part of the taskbar. The hta file I link to is html with visual basic instead of JS - executable on click, pretty compact, shows a dialog. Don't know if this breaks in later Win versions though, I wrote this some years ago and it worked fine in Vista...

Or even better, right click putty on your taskbar in windows 7 and all your profiles are listed.

Maybe I should have upgraded before switching to OS X :)

My approach still has one advantage: I have 60 user/server combinations and can order them by user/rack/whatever by using subfolders. And it's possible to assign custom icons, which I never did...

True. I only connect to two hosts and ssh on from there so non issue for me.

I use ffmpeg to record my desktop and convert the output to animated gif.

I'm not sure about OS X, but FreeBSD and Linux distros should have ffmpeg in ports/repos.

There's also byzanz for ubuntu.
