The Little Software That Could…Not
Is this for real? Here in the Groopik office, we’re beginning to wonder if we’re living a new twist on the famous children’s story – The Little Engine That Could. It goes something like this….
Once upon a couple weeks ago, we were really excited about this nice “train” of step-by-step video tutorials we have scripted and ready to “pull up the hill” (which means, post on our website, for you literal folk). These tutorials will give members, group leaders and administrators everything you need to know to be an expert Groopik user. So we’ve asked (I believe the count is now at) five different “engines” (screen capture software) to pull these tutorials to their destination. Each has given us a different reason as to why it’s not able to complete the task. Now we believe we may have found the “Little Engine (software) That Could”. However…we’ve watched it slowly chug down the video rendering track, and we even help it say, “I think I can, I think I can….”, but just before it “reaches the top of the hill” (renders a very nice video), it crashes every time. So…we contacted the little engine’s maker, and he said he knows it has problems, and that hopefully with a little elbow grease he’ll have this little engine working properly by the end of this week. So, the moral of this story? We’ll be patient with the engine (software) maker and pray that we’ll reap what we sow.
