stuff stuff and stuffity stuff
6 Dec 08 - No Comments - bullshit - dev, nerd, php, stuff i need to doImageMagick 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.
