I got my callsign today: KB3RXM Now, to actually buy a radio. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, and I think I might be happiest with a home base station after all, even though I live in an apartment. I may buy a little portable station kit to build, but that will be secondary to the large fixed station. Now, I just need to figure out exactly what I want. Power is a pretty big deal since I think [...]
Idea I wanted to put images on my iPod Touch without using iTunes since, as most of us know, there is no good way to use it from Linux. It turns out there is a magic directory on the iPod Touch where it saves images from Safari. I simply looked at how it saved them, and applied it on my box here at home. Requirements Jailbroken iPod Touch (I used WinPWN), with OpenSSH installed and working (the root password is [...]
So, I found this today, and it is awesome. I wanted it in Bluecloth so I could use it in Mephisto. Here’s how. First, I needed to make it so I could still do normal images, but turn on coolness if I want. Here’s the goal I came up with for the grammar: [](imageurl.jpg “Scrolly Text at top” “photoslice”) Here’s the first test, with a single image: And now a set with a namespace: I did it by simply modifying [...]
So, I have all these JPEGs, and I want to know which ones are corrupt (specifically, ones that end prematurely). qiv will spit out the following to STDERR when it finds one: Premature end of JPEG file So, this is nice, except it’s entirely unscriptable. The solution I found was using the following script to the display the images in sequence: perl -e ‘for(glob(“*.png *.jpg”)){$output = `qiv “$_” 2>&1;`; if($output =~ /Premature/){print $_, “\n”;}}’ All this does is mix STDERR [...]
I saw this today, and thought it was hilarious. Basically, this is the main point of the whole thing: So I decided to have some fun.
Magic EXIF recursive tagging! Have you ever had your files all nicely nested in directories, but needed to change their EXIF dates? Here’s what I used today to do it: # Structure like this: 1997/08/Picture.Whatever Maybe Some Spaces.jpg # Delete the EXIF tags (DONT DO THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING!) find . -mindepth 3 -exec jhead -de “{}” \; # Make Fresh EXIF tags find . -mindepth 3 -exec jhead -mkexif “{}” \; # Set the dates according [...]
