Dutch master remixes and JS object pitfalls posted: Fri 2013-08-30 17:51:35 tags: daylogs, tech
I guess I wrote my own collaborative content management software to host daylogs. With blackjack. And hookers. In fact, forget the collaboration. I'm an unabashed fan of remix culture, so when I happened across a retouch of Vermeer's painting, "Girl with a Pearl Earring" stylized as a "selfie", I posted it to my gesischtsbuch, and Frank Smith responded with a link to worth1000.com where graphic artists and 'shop hobbyists do a lot of that sort of thing, and much more.

Keeping my fingers crossed that the double Ch13 payment last month gives me a month's wiggle room. I made a payment for this month anyway but just on principle.

cropping and joining images in GIMP posted: Tue 2013-08-27 20:38:19 tags: tech
I retired my investment in Photoshop 5.0 (ahem) when I discovered the "GIMPshop" package. But it turns out the Windows port of GIMP has become polished enough to use without the "shop" skin, so I quickly went straight to the real GIMP. Adapting from other graphics-manipulation software is not seamless. For example, if you opened an image file in MS Photo Editor or P'shop, and you wanted to make a new file with just a select portion, you'd use the rectangle select tool, select your selection, find the "C...

So much to do, and so little will to do anything.

Chicken tenderloins pan-cooked with sliced black olive, frz spinach and broccoli, and Classico jarred cabernet marinara sauce, all over whole wheat thin spaghetti
