Text of the page (random words):
printed at high quality with gimp print gutenprint these grew out of my older gimp plug ins to make it easier to generate and print cd labels though the newer gimplabels includes all the cd plugins as well that page also includes arclayer a plug in to bend text in an arc of a specified radius autocropall c a c plug in to crop an image paying attention to the contents of all layers not just the current one as discussed in chapter 11 of my gimp book little gimp scripts arrow designer an interactive python script that draws arrows surprisingly useful and hard to do in gimp any other way selection to wallpaper makes it easy to adapt one image to wallpaper for one or more different screen sizes starting with a selection of appropriate aspect ratio it copies the image crops scales and sets the image filename so you can save to the right place blobipy gives a rounded shaded bevel to the current layer or selection it s a little like drop shadow and bevel but the effect is somewhat more pronounced a good way of rounding text and making it more three dimensional save layers as patterns this is helpful for importing photoshop pattern files there s a gimp plug in available to load photoshop pattern files but what you get is an image with lots of layers since photoshop can store multiple patterns in a single file my save layers as patterns script can take this multi layer file and save each layer to your gimp pattern directory as a pattern usable by gimp reverse layers scm reverses the order of the layers in the current image very useful if you re doing animation or stitching panoramas with pandora it s included in gimp 2 4 but here s the script for 2 2 users stack scm turns the layers in the current image into an averaged layer stack where each layer s opacity is such that it contributes equally to the total allmodes scm takes an image and combines it with a background color in each of the gimp s layer modes i used it to generate figure 9 11 of my book beginning gimp from novice to professional paperproto scm is a script which takes a set of strings and turns them into a set of draggable buttons usable for paper prototyping or just magnetic fridge poetry inspired by sven s blog entry and described in my post to the gimp developer list colorcircles scm generates a set of overlapping rgb or cmy circles with appropriate layer modes to demonstrate color combinations used for figure 8 1 in my book fibonacci scm generates a set of golden ratio fibonacci boxes and a fibonacci spiral through them it s a work in progress neither flexible nor pretty yet mysphere scm from chapter 11 of beginning gimp is a slight modification of the normal sphere script included with gimp which lets you draw your sphere on a transparent background for pasting into other images autocropall c from chapter 11 of beginning gimp in gimp 2 4 this is no longer needed just use crop to selected combined with sample merged in the crop tool options mode dialog py gives you two new entries in the layer menu next mode sets the current layer to the next mode in the layer modes list try binding it to a key or keeping it visible by tearing off the layer menu while mode dialog gives you a window with buttons for every mode so you can try them in any order not that useful except as a demo hitting down arrow in the the layers dialog is good enough astronomy software moonroot moonroot linux x11 brings up a window showing the moon at its current phase it uses the x11 shape extension so you can put it on your desktop background without window borders and it looks like the moon hanging there on top of whatever background image you use astronomy mini apps in c javascript and java for browsers pdas and desktops small apps to show the current state of jupiter and its moons including shadow transits saturn and its moons our moon and mars they re intended to be small and light with little ui good for use on pdas or other low horsepower machines or for running in a browser new jupiter s moons in javascript both prettier and more feature full than the java or c versions shallow sky software for palmos and unix marslet a java mars applet java applets juplet satlet moonlet including zaurus packages marsmap palmos and x11 shows the features of mars tux meteor count meteors tux meteor is a quickie xlib meteor counting program i hacked up because i wanted to be able to contribute to the meteor counts going on for the big leonid storm and i didn t want to have to boot into windows to use the existing windows meteor counters oh yeah and it occurred to me that having a hot laptop computing away on my lap would be nice on a cold november night sky is a little planetarium program a la java applet show bright stars and the planets it has a difficult user interface and i ve trimmed down the star catalog because it took up too much space and took too long to download so it s not likely to be very usable to anyone as is just moon identify features on the moon just moon is an application for unix platforms including linux zaurus and os x for identifying features on the moon old now it no longer compiles since it needs outdated libraries lunar colongitude i wrote a little lunar colong program calculate colongitude at a given date or predict when in a given month a particular colongitude will happen e g when s the next time i can see the hesiodus ray or o neal s bridge the web page predictor here source tarball available on that page i also have a bunch of javascript code on the hitchhiker s guide to the moon to calculate the moon s phase and libration scripts and small programs note this list is incomplete and out of date see my github scripts repository for the overly large collection tweet play bird songs how do you find out whether that bird you re hearing is a cassin s finch or a bushtit i bought the stokes field guide to western bird songs a 4 volume cd set i ripped the four cds to disk you can t have mine they re copyrighted and it s an excellent set so i heartily recommend buying a copy getting filenames like barn_owl ogg of course you can use mp3 or whatever format you like then wrote a python script tweet to play them pass an argument containing some part of the bird name you want to match for instance tweet mock will play the mockingbird while tweet spar will display a list of sparrows from which you can either choose by number or type another string e g hou to play the house sparrow s song image processing scripts i wrote a collection ofimage batch processing scripts which do things like rotate resize make thumbnails and collect images together into web pages these work especially well when combined with pho this is now in its own imagebatch repository html slide presentations a javascript framework for html presentations for using a browser such as firefox as a powerpoint replacement for slide presentations a javascript html framework for ignite talks preso a lightweight python webkit script to display html presentations fullscreen without the overhead of a full browser eggtimer python tkintr is a little egg timer countdown application run eggtimer 15 your cornbread is ready and 15 minutes later it will pop up a huge red window showing your message any key or a mouse click will dismiss the window sounds like a toy i know but i find that i use it all the time and i keep tweaking it to be more useful i also have a different version eggtimer gui where you can set the time with a slider written for my linux planet article gui programming in python for beginners create a timer in 30 minutes pyblosxom plug ins and helper scripts i use pyblosxom for my blog and i ve written a few pyblosxom plug ins and helper scripts to make that easier assorted small scripts bdump long ago before linux even existed unix had a nifty program called od octal dump for viewing binary files you could say for instance od xc and it would dump the file as hexidecimal and characters and it would line up the two lines so you could follow the file from printable characters to unprintable ones unfortunately the gnu folk got hold of od and in their wisdom changed it so that the bytes no longer line up so you can follow the hex or the characters or the octal or whatever but heaven help you if you want to relate two or more of them there s a program called xxd part of vim that does a slightly better job but it isn t really as nice as i want either and it s such an easy thing to write so i did in python bdump c x and d indicate character hex and decimal does anyone ever want octal any more default is all three langgrep python is a little hack that helps me figure out how to do things in various scripting languages by grepping in only files of a specified language so if i can t remember how to use find to search within a string in python i can say langgrep python w find bin or usr bin if i don t have a lot of python programs in my own bin trivial but very useful i d wanted something like that for years pathmatch python searches for patterns in your path the which command can search for complete strings but you need pathmatch if you ve ever wondered what volume control programs do i have it s probably called something mix or something volume something just type pathmatch mix volume and see the answer randomline python chooses and prints one random line from whatever it s given as input you can use it for all sorts of things like printing a random quote from a file but i use it to set a random wallpaper on my desktop like this xsetbg fullscreen border black find home backgrounds randomline killtips kill any errant tooltips that buggy programs have left visible i had a problem with certain programs leaving tooltips on my display that wouldn t go away so i wrote a python xlib script that can close any currently open tooltip or similar override redirect window in x killtips dotback backs up my important configuration files dotfiles to a tar file without getting lost in backing up voluminous crap like the firefox cache you do have to spend some time making a list of what files and directories you care about miscellaneous fiddling neighbor the april 2002 atlantic had an interesting article called seeing around corners describing population dynamics in terms of cellular automaton rules trying to explain why neighborhoods tend to become segregated by race or other factors it was a fascinating article but i questioned it and decided to whip up my own simulation my results did not match those of the authors in fact i found much less tendency toward segregation than they did my simple ca simulation written in c displaying in xlib is here neighbor tar gz it s written as a framework that makes it easy to write new apps for other 2 dimensional ca rules and as an example it includes a bare bones implementation of conway s game of life animatch i had a bunch of handheld photos which i wanted to stitch together into a short animation of course the rotations and positions didn t all match i looked for a program that could help and couldn t find one so i wrote one run animatch on a list of files from a terminal window you ll need to save the output later you need to choose two control points in the image which will be fixed from shot to shot as animatch shows you each image click on the left control point then the right one when you ve chosen the right control point on the last image animatch will spit out a long list of image magick commands for rotating and translating each image save these commands to a file edit as necessary back up all your images then run the script animatch is very rough it s a one off i wrote in a day and it lacks documentation and polish it would be better done as a gimp tool use at your own risk but by all means let me know if you re using it and hit bugs or have a feature you d really like animatch tgz bookmarklets and other browser stuff see my two linux planet articles simple bookmarklets the power of the command line in your browser and roll your own custom bookmarklets in firefox part 2 javascript bookmarklets for a description of how to use my count words bookmarklet see the linux planet tip quick firefox tip word count bookmarklet see also kitfox in the next patches section patches to other software xbrightness i didn t write xbrightness but i found it very useful for adjusting brightness on a monitor that doesn t have hardware brightness controls particularly with some updates mikael magnusson made then some other changes i added later they re all described in this blog posting software brightness control in x11 i never heard back from the xbrightness author so i m making it available here xbrightness mika akk by the way if you grabbed an earlier version back when i first posted the blog entry now it clips at the top and bottom of the range rather than wrapping around i haven t updated the version kitfox this is long obsolete a collection of assorted patches i make to mozilla firefox locally to make it work more like the old lamented mozilla suite the patches are against a full firefox development tree but might be useful to binary users who want to change specific javascript or menu files xchat don t hard wire key bindings xchat drives me crazy it has a key binding dialog but a lot of its key bindings aren t settable through the dialog and are compiled in and can t be un done in particular for people who like to use emacs readline bindings to edit text you can t even though xchat sees your gtk key theme because ctrl f is hardwired in the c code to pop up a find window whether you want one or not there are several other hardwired key bindings i change like the ctrl i i keep hitting accidentally that detaches the current tab and then i have to reattach it and go hunting for the magic keybinding to move the tab back to its normal position anyway i ve been building my own xchat for years and here s the current patch i apply to it xchat 2 8 6 diff exmap make it build i wanted to try exmap for showing memory use on my system but it totally failed to build and the patch in ubuntu bug 284863 wasn t enough i had to fix quite a few other things and also install libpcre3 dev libpcrecpp0 and libgtkmm 2 4 dev libgtkmm 2 4 1c2a here s my patch exmap 0 10 patch for ubuntu jaunty and kernel 2 6 30 4 obsolete scripts these are no longer useful or maintained but included for historical purposes vol python gtk is a fast and simple volume control app written in pygtk the normal gtk volume control program changes its name seemingly monthly is it gnome volume control gtkmix gtkmixer gnome mixer or what and in any case it s slow to start up and creates a rather large window all i need is a single slider for master volume something which starts up quickly enough that i don t miss too much of the beginnings of audio or video clips but that didn t seem to exist except as panel applets for specific window managers vol calls the command line program aumix under the hood which means that you need the commandline version of aumix and not ...
