Attempting to Add GREYCstoration to Gimpshop

1/31/2006

Hey, do you guys want me to add this plugin to Gimpshop? I think it would be great to have. Please let me know in the comments. I just have to figure out how to add it to the source… shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

I haven’t looked at the source or the readme files for how to integrate the plugin yet. It might take me a day or so to get it straight. It’ll probably delay the Gimpshop 2.2.10 release, but not by much.

Gimpshop 2.2.10 Almost Ready

1/24/2006

All thanks to a huge helping hand from Aaron Voisine, creator and maintainer of the original Gimp.app for OS X, I’ve got Gimpshop 2.2.10 running as a self-contained .app file. That means no messy terminal commands, just double-click and go. Currently working out some minor kinks, creating a new splash screen and attempting to add SVG functionality. It should be ready for download by the end of the week.

Fonts seem to be working just fine and it hasn’t crashed yet… No delay on launch. So far, so good.

This story proves how easy it is to profile someone’s reading habits.
Applefritter’s Tom Owad used some geekery to download every single Wishlist from Amazon. Then he ran some simple searches to uncover the subversives who read dangerous books. You know, books like Fahrenheit 451 or Recipes for Disaster (highly recommended for geeks like me!).
It’s even [...]

NotMTV.TV

January 18, 2006

My good friend and TechTV alumnus Tom Rowles has just launched a new site with an investigative report on the loudness of MP3 players and PSPs. It’s really interesting stuff and important, too.
After seeing this, I’m convinced that we (us Americans) are going to be a nation of deaf people in about 50 years. You [...]

The Last iPod Video Guide You’ll Ever Need

January 9, 2006

I was recently inspired to create a guide for Mac users who just got themselves a brand new iPod! We’ll go over all the options you’ve got and how to convert absolutely anything and everything: DVDs, TiVo video, messy AVIs, muxed MPEGs and more to iPod compatible video – all within OS X.
Along the [...]

Happy New Year!

January 2, 2006

Hey, sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve got a New Year’s resolution that’s got me posting at least twice a week. I’ve started a really long HOWTO. It’s taking a while because I got really ambitious with this thing. There’s all sorts of icons and pictures and whatnot. It’s a whole ordeal.
Anyway, I promised [...]
