Screencasting Code Reviews is Hard

I’ve been trying to record myself performing code reviews for The MarkUs Project.

It’s a lot harder than I thought it’d be.  The screencasts are really only useful if I’m saying what I’m thinking, and I’m finding it difficult to maintain stream of consciousness and perform an effective/thorough review.  The last few times I’ve tried it, I find myself blurting an expletive, stopping the recording in frustration, and then starting the review over so that I can do a good, proper job.

I think this is going to take more practice.
