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...

"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.
Later on in the evening, she mentioned that she had received an email from Annie (my sister-in-law who I love)...

Truth Exists....Right?
PoeticIntensity
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 ...

For some people the latest release of a gadget means improved response, better software, and more functionality. For others it's simply a way to say &qu...

One thing that I often think about while pondering the Gospel is how blessed I am to live in a time where the fulness of the Gospel is available - and not only available, but I was born into a practicing family, and have made the life choices necessary for me to continue worthy to obtain the blessings given to God's c...

In this day of rampant immorality and addictive pornography, parents have a sacred responsibility to teach their children the importance of God in their lives. Those evils, so highly destructive of divine potential, are to be strictly shunned by children of God.
When a child needs correction, you might ask yourself, “What can I say or do t...

The scientific method can't prove everything.
PoeticIntensity
Okay, okay... I do understand that there is a ton of good that has been brought about by the scientific method, but seriously, people; is that the *only* way to prove something is true? Wow. In my opinion, we've really limited ourselves if we think that's the only way to "prove" the truth of something.
I just (finally) finished D&C 76, an...

This was the last talk given in the April General Conference of 2008, and President Monson did a wonderful job.

Not having watched many talks given by President Monson as president of th...

"Thank heavens for time."
The reason I say that, is because if it weren't for time, we'd never get over our sicknesses, and holy crud, I'm about done with this one.
Today was the first day Sarah really felt good enough to be home with the kids happy, and healthy for the most part, and if she...

Because the last temple trip my ward went on the youth did not behave themselves like they should've and they go...

Good times.
