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...

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 ...

Fun Updating With Gentoo
PoeticIntensity
I just thought I'd jot down an experience which may be of some benefit to others, even if only to provide a few laughs.
About 3 years ago, I built my brother a computer and he was just as sick of Microsoft as I was, so I told him about Linux. He wanted it, so I installed gentoo on his box for him. I updated it probably 2 or 3 ti...

Wow, it's been a long time since I last studied my scriptures.

I googled a bit and found this gem of a tutorial on how to do precisely what I needed: I'll pos...

2nd Nephi : 8
PoeticIntensity
As I read this chapter, I found the question in my head, "why was Nephi prompted to put Isaiah in here?"
One thing I'm noticing in this chapter and the last, is the writing style of Isaiah is quite starkly contrasted against the writing of Nephi. It's wildly poetic.
I enjoyed this chapter as much as I did the last. I didn'...

Mustang GT vs Neon SRT-4

So a little more than a year ago, I took my mustang out for the first time on the Salt Flats. I had a blast out there with my good friend Steve.
On the way home, Steve had some problems with salt lining his rims, causing some tire imbalance, so we got off the freeway, I showed him what the problem was, and as I was getting back on th...

In Jacob 4:1, he states how hard it was for them to keep plates, due to the difficulty in engraving. Well.... With that in mind, I asked myself, "How important is J...

The part I liked most about this chapter...

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