Holy S***! That's what I uttered when I stumbled on the following link: http://www.bestechvideos.com/tag/meet-the-gimp GIMP Video Tutorials! About 130 of them! I am downloading one right now! Got GIMP on my RIG, so hope to do some good! P.S. I actually have used GIMP regularly for scaling/ cropping images and applying various filters (and creating hideous versions! ). I also have used GIMP to put text atop images and create cool banners etc.

source: http://frederic99.blogspot.com/2007/10/resizing-pictures-in-batch-under-linux.html Hi to all! I have discovered a very easy way to resize a bunch of pictures using Linux. First, you need to install imagemagick: [CODE] sudo apt-get install imagemagick [\CODE] Then, what I did was to copy all the pictures I wanted to resize into a temporay folder. Finally, using the command line, I went to the previous folder, and typed the following: [CODE] mogrify -resize 800x600 *.jpg [\CODE] and all the pictures were resized. Of course, you can choose any size you want. Instead of"mogrify", you can use "convert" which does not replace the picture but instead creates a new one with the desired size. You can also rotate pictures. For instance: [CODE] mogrify -rotate 90 picture.jpg [/CODE] where "90" is the number of degrees you wish to rotate picture.jpg. Here is a link with more infos on imagemagick: http://polishlinux.org/apps/grap...

Ok! I am in a buoyant mood today, and Anna Hajare and Nokia aren't related in any way that I know! Nokia has rolled out Symbian OS PR2.0 codenamed Anna.   Nokia X7 and Nokia E6 with Symbian Anna Nokia X7 Symbian Anna Home Screen Nokia E6 White Now the updated interface looks better but lets hope it's more functional (than the old). But still I can't help feeling it's too late for Symbian!

A nice article comparing Windows and Linux Device Driver Support: http://www.zdnet.co.uk/blogs/the-open-source-revolution-10014902/windowslinux-driver-support-comparison-10022178/?s_cid=42 So is  Linux has Device Drivers Problems a myth only? Not exactly, but looks like the Linux and Open Source Community has got systems in place that help user get at the solution in a better way than that of Microsoft. Perhaps because at times Microsoft blames the hardware manufacturer and vice versa.

For last few weeks all I am doing on my laptop is editing some documents. The work is boring, very regular and doesn't need more than 10% utilization of my brain. Sucks! But they say "not everybody shall climb everests, most will run home to office and back! And it will be boring!" So it's some quite time - I start the machine, put up the headphones, queue up coupe of albums in Totem and open the two documents - one a scanned copy and the other is the digital one. And then I go on typing, and typing and ........

I think creating a website was never so easy! I knew about google sites for a while but I never gave it much than a glance. But I recently felt a need to setup a portal for myself like a startup point for all my separate threads that have spawned in all 10 directions. (12 if you count "inside in" and "outside out" - I have trouble with these two!) But I spent some time on google sites and this is what I managed to get to.
