We finished decorating the tree last night and made our tree top thing. We used FIMO and a sharp knife and it came out pretty well. Cooked it up last night, and glued the top and bottom together this afternoon. Once it dries, we’re sticking a star on top of it, and putting it on the tree.
Here are some terrible cellphone pictures because I’m lazy…
It’s Saturday, the kid is in bed, so…
We’ll be hanging out with our good friend Jim.
ImageMagick seems to handle transparencies better.
GD seems to handle animated gif thumbnails better — sure, it’s static, but it’s relatively clean. Imagemagick looks like it just barfs everything up when you try to use it with GIFs. Maybe I need to apply some hacks to Gallery2?
I Draw Too Much hasn’t had anything new in a while. I was futzing around with the watermarking feature (when it’s applied to transparent PNGs/GIFs, it screws up when you use GD). I’m not all that paranoid about it and I doubt that many people are going to try and steal my drawings, but whatever. I have the turtle copywritten, although to be honest, I’d really prefer if somebody stole it and made money off it so I could just sue them and not have to do much work. I draw too much.
Stuff I plan on doing:
- Aforementioned Gallery2 tweaks to allow different image processors on different albums.
- Better Wordpress/Gallery2 interaction; WPG2 or whatever it’s called is decent, but rather buggy and picky about certain things. I couldn’t get it to function properly/the way I wanted it to, so I’m going to write my own damn version. All I want is new images to appear in a widget!
- Clean up, genericize, and post the source code to my image hosting thing. Should I leave in the image display randomizer thing? It’s mainly geared towards forum signatures I guess, but you could use it in any instance that you wanted to have an image displayed randomly. Maybe I’ll just release both.
