Texture Extraction
orson
(how-to)
Using The Gimp to remove low frequency data from an image.
When I take a picture of something I would like to use for texture, there is often a slight change in the color across the entire image. I want to keep the detail, but make the overall color even across the image.
This is a picture of dusty rain marks on the hood of my car:
It is l...

Job Market Down?
PoeticIntensity
This might be the only "current events" post I ever do, but something has been puzzling me for the past 6-12 months.
Last night, I watched the last half of the democratic candidates' debate on TV, and although it wasn't mentioned much, there were still a couple of references to a "downward economy", and the need for "job...

So, he arrives here with his beautiful car out front, with the driver's door wide open. I say my goodbye's to the family and head out to th...

"Posting Forms to Sessions" - Trick
PoeticIntensity
(how-to)
Any web developer who has been in the craft for more than a couple of days realizes how often forms are used in web development. Well... Where forms are used, form methods are used, and one of the crazily irritating problems with forms using a "POST" method is the fact that when the "back" button is pressed after lea...

Building a Computer
PoeticIntensity
I guess I just take for granted all the tips 'n' tricks I've learned over the past 10 years I've been building my own systems (along with most of my family's and friend's computers), so with that thought, let me try to explain how I build computers.
First off, this article is intended for those people who are not necessarily tech-wizards, but ar...

Yesterday, my wife spent some time setting up her "my space page", which I absolutely refuse to do for myself, and when she got it done, she was pretty happy with herself. I helped her with some images and that was that.

Sadly, lots of problems exist with the world today. I guess it's human nature to create problems, and ya know...? I'm alright with that. Problems need to exist in order for life to be life, right? Yup... The eternal struggle for self-improvement, or whatever.
Anyway... One thing that irks me quite a bit, and a...

So I made a mistake recently. A mistake that I knew at the time I shouldn’t make, but did anyway in the interests of “friendship”. The mistake was entering into a purchase “arrangement” for a car that I owned outright ( and didn’t have much use for) with a co-worker who is/was down on his luck. You’d think ...

Alma : 38
PoeticIntensity
Of course, verse 1 immediately reminds me of verse chapter 36 and what I wrote about that. But then, verse 2 held just as much interest for me. First off, it seems that Alma talking to his three sons in these chapters has something to do with his being old enough to die at any time. Yet, Alma's words talk about him having great jo...

I wish I could describe to you how much gratefulness is in my heart for whoever is in the skies who loves me. The prophets say He is Jesus Christ - and I believe them. This being up there loves me more than I can possibly comprehend. There is no way that words can describe to you, whoever you are, how much I want to learn to love Him.

Good times.
