Gif screencasts

I've been extremely impressed by webpages that have gif screencasts embedded in them. Today, since I committed to write some tutorials, I learned how to make them. I'm using Byzanz, which can be installed on Ubuntu easily: http://askubuntu.com/a/123515 You have to type byzanz-record to get it to run. And you need to specify a file name to record to. Other than that, you just run it.

There are some nice tips on how to limit byzanz to a single window, etc. here: http://primedotprog.com/creating-screencast-gifs-in-linux-ubuntu-14-04-lts/
