Stick figure animations are fun to watch and if you have ever wondered how it is done, then here is a software for you. The above animation was made using a free tool called Pivot Stickfigure Animator that allows you to create stick figure animations easily. The program comes with some pre made stick figures like man, cowboy, horses and a few others. Load any background image and insert the figures into the scene. You can move the sections of the sick figure and easily create a chain of animation frames that can be previewed as you go. You can use more than one stick-figure in the animation, and even create your own stick figures using an easy to use visual editor that lets you assemble objects out of lines and circles. Set the animation speed, canvas size and save your animations as GIF images.

Pivot Stickfigure Animator is very simple and it's interface is easy to understand. You won't find lots of tools and actions here, and yet it's capable of producing animations of surprising complexity. As with any creativity tools, whether be it Photoshop or a simple paint program, you will have to spend some time understanding how it works and will require at least some basic skills to produce a decent animation.

There is a group at MSN for Pivot where you can ask for help from other users. Enjoy these stick figure animations I found at the said group. Click on them to watch the animation.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website.
