Jetscreenshot Captures, Uploads in Two Easy Steps. Sort Of.

by Lee Mathews Aug 22nd 2008

Ever on the lookout for a better screenshot application, I decided to give Jetscreenshot a chance. It's available free right now, so I figured it was worth a shot (pardon the unintentional pun).

Like other similar apps, it's a small download and doesn't consume much in the way of CPU or memory while running, and it hides out in your system tray waiting to grab an image. Use its settings screen to add your FTP server details and http path, and you get three-click screen-to-server captures.

That part impressed me.

What didn't was how Jetscreenshot started to freak out when I tabbed out of its capture window mid-edit. It didn't re-appear, and there's no option on the system tray icon to pull up your last capture. Still, after exiting and re-launching the program, it worked just fine again.

For quick screenshot chores that require minimal text overlays or MSPaint style arrow drawing, Jetscreenshot is a capable choice for Windows users. How does it stack up to your favorite grabber? Try it out, comment, and let us know!

Those are some of the most bogus testimonials I've ever read.

No way dude, they look TOTALLY authentic. ;-)

I ignored them and tried it anyways...

Screenshot Captor from DonationCoder works just fine for me, thank you.

Vista has a nifty, basic screenshot capture tool already built in. Click on the Windows/Start button and start typing "Snipping Tool" That's the program you want.

The screenshot link is broken and the Vista snipping tool kept crashing on my computer from day 1.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
