What If Dr. Seuss Wrote Technical Manuals
Posted on November 16, 2008 in Corel Photobook
Here is something I've found on my hard drive in a very old archive, Even though I didn't write it I thought I should revive, What I have found to be delightful and full of lots of charm, But if you've seen this post before, I do not mean no harm ! If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort, and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report! If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, And the double-clicking icons put your window in the trash, And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash, Then your situation's hopeless, and your system's gonna crash! If the label on your cable on the gable at your house, Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse, But your packets want to tunnel to another protocol, That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall. And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse, Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, 'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang! When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk, And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary RISC, Then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM, Quickly turn off your computer and be sure to tell your mom!
My Top 5 Open Source Software Picks
Posted on November 10, 2008 in Adobe FrameMaker
As promised, I have compiled a list of open source software. After thinking about it for a few seconds and in an effort to not overwhelm anyone, I decided to only list those software items that I use on a daily basis at my job. This will demonstrate the real-world usability of these packages. It should be noted that all of the packages I am explaining below are available for Windows, Linux, and MacOS X. OpenOffice.org – Think MS Office, only without the $500 price tag (not sure exactly what it costs). OpenOffice contains a word processing application equal to MS Word, a spreadsheet application equal to MS Excel, a presentation application equal to MS PowerPoint, a layout application similar to MS Publisher, and a database application that is almost on par with MS Access. In fact, the word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation application is almost 100% compatible with MS Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, respectively. In the area of macros, I believe that StarBasic (comparable to VBA in MS Office) is capable of doing most common automated tasks. But for the average small business, I feel that OpenOffice can provide a superb alternative to MS Office. GIMP – Adobe Photoshop has become an “industry standard” in the world of graphic design, be it for print design or web design. I should mention that of the commercial software companies out there, Adobe is one of my favorite. However, spending $1000 on a suite of software that I might or might not use every day is an investment I'm not ready to make, especially since I'm not that good at design. But the Open Source community has come through again and provided a tool that, in my mind, is 99% as capable as Photoshop for editing photos and creating pixel based artwork. It's the GIMP (which stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program). The GIMP offers many tools for image manipulation and adjustment. Some of the more advanced ones are: image level and curve adjustment, Gaussian Blur and Unsharp Mask. It is easy for a novice computer user to get lost in the complexity of the GIMP. It is again my hope to post a tutorial on some of its basic functions. Inkscape – Again, Adobe holds the market in vector graphics editor with their Adobe Illustrator software package. And again, the Open Source community has thrown a punch back at them with Inkscape. If you are unfamiliar with Adobe Illustrator, you might wonder what vector graphics is. A vector is a mathematical term for a line, thus vector graphics is artwork that is created through the use of lines. In vector graphics software packages, like Inkscape and Illustrator, lines can be given texture, shape, colors, and some other cool effects. The advantage to vector graphics is amazingly enough the same downfall of pixel based artwork (the GIMP does pixel based): the inability to make an image larger without losing quality. That is, you can take a piece of vector artwork and increase the size of it indefinitely. Therefore, vector graphics is extremely useful for printing artwork or when you need multiple sizes of the same piece of artwork. In all of these basic areas, I have found that Inkscape is very comparable to Illustrator. Audacity – Most computers have a plug-in on their computer for a microphone, but I imagine that the majority of people don't use it. This might be because there was not an easy-to-use, inexpensive recording software package. Audacity is this software package. The Open Source community again came through and created a very robust software package that turns your computer onto a digital sound recorder. In the same way that you put a cassette tape in the recorder and it the record button, when you click the record button in Audacity it begins recording every sound your microphone picks up. When you are done recording, you can save your recording as a WAVE audio file or an MP3 audio file instead of fumbling with those tapes (you must some additional software to save as an MP3). A couple cool features of Audacity is the ability to do multi-track recordings and add special effects to your recordings. Audacity is very comparible to any audio recorder I have used that you have to pay money for. OpenClipart – Unless you are a extremely creative artist (which I am not), if you want to add some flavor to a document or presentation you reach for a piece of clip art. OpenOffice, unlike MS Office, doesn't come with a complete clip art library. Don't worry, because again the Open Source community has come together to create an extensive library of vector based (Inkscape) and pixel based (GIMP) artwork. The library contains many categories with hundreds of pieces of clip art. If you want to place a piece of clip art directly into OpenOffice or whatever application you are using. If you want to tweek the artwork a little bit before you use it, you can open the vector based artwork in Inkscape and save it as a pixel based piece of clip art. This might seem confusing, but I plan to do a post on this vector-to-pixel conversion process. cheap corel draw cheap microsoft office

Upcoming Topics/Computer Art Samples
Posted on November 08, 2008 in Corel Photo Painter
UPCOMING TOPICS I be cognizant most of you are set since surfing centrally located, being the Pensacola New Journal featured us today, together with I significance you might analogous a preview of SOME of the topics coming done with separating the upcoming weeks. Recall whim geting our daily quizzes, including (disclose the hasp hopeful the left.) There are a lot topics not pictured, same in that candle painting, scratchart, painting onward clay hunks, foam cutouts, paper mache, wood besides foam door hangers, sequin shirts, textile painting (on shirts together with canvas totes) painting gourds, woodburning along with painting setup wood (petrol pencils) besides sport skills equaling considering sketching, statue, acrylic painting, watercolor painting, etc. ALthough O'Malley took a bit of skill to "doctor up," good art skills aren't usually required for computer generated art. (Yes, you heard correctly.) Computer generated graphics are a LOT of fun, as you can tell from our cat, O'Malley. I KNOW you long to dabble on someone's picture and turn them into a toothless, bearded pirate...you name it. (My husband quickly removed me from the computer chair when I asked how he'd look in a pink tutu...) If you're getting a graphics program, the one I use is Corel (Draw, Photopaint.) COMPUTER ART SAMPLES Let me give you an advance peek at the upcoming topic, computer art. We'll get to that in a week or two. I'll show you what you can do, using simple outlining in black, and the press of a few buttons. Take a look at this simple picture, it's about to change drastically. Here we go! :) I outlined the flowers in black, using the mouse. I didn't care if my lines were perfect. It takes a bit of practice to keep your hand steady using the mouse. Start practicing! :) The picture below wasn't quite completed with the black outline, I did all the flowers. Using Corel Photo Paint, I went to Effects/Contour/Edge Detect/Edges Soft (level 100) and pressed a button. Voila, with only 4 clicks of mouse, see my masterpiece? Here's another one. Effects/Custom/Alchemy/Brush Strokes. Your kids will LOVE doing computer art for the front of their folders, and everyone can make great cards! (I'll be providing images, be sure and right click and save them IMMEDIATELY if you want them.) Alchemy reminds me of abstract pastel chalk pieces. What do you think? And for a bolder approach, here's Effects/3d/Emboss. MAILING LIST REMINDER So, if you'd like to keep up with the arts/crafts projects, local art events, etc, you can get on my mailing list for this blog. When a new topic is posted, you'll get a reminder. That's helpful because posting isn't on a schedule. I am going to try to post at least once a week. BTW, I do not share email addresses with others, they are for blog notification only, and there is no solicitation. Just email me at haldagobay1@bellsouth.net with "Haldago Bay Blog" in the subject line. If you'd like to email a friend and tell them about this blog, just go to the end of this article and there's a small envelope with a black arrow on it. Just click on it and fill in your friends' email addys. Thanks for spreading the word :) Feel free to tell me what topics you'd like to see featured; this is an interactive blog. I would love to hear from you! And if you have images that you think others would like to use when they sketch, paint, or do computer art, send them in the BODY of your email. I'd also love to publish photos of your arts/crafts! If you find great images on the internet in photo albums, let us know about that, too. FROM ME TO YOU YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE AN ARTIST TO DO THE PROJECTS, and I will be drawing simple items for you to download and print out, and locating good images for you from the net that you can use. The projects allow for flexibiility- you make it as easy or difficult as you want. All the projects (note ALL) are do-able by children. I select the ones my kids have enjoyed, and the activities that were the most popular when I did craft sessions at several Michaels locations, and during private lessons. Don't be afraid to email me anytime you have a question, because I'm here to help.) So, relax and have fun, you have a blog pal to guide you along! If you have an art activity such as the one below, just email me. If you sell arts/crafts and want to send a picture, I'll consider posting it. It is at my discretion. I'd like to help the LOCAL crafters get noticed. LOCAL NEWS:MOSAIC CLASS One of the local nurseries (Garden Gate) is having a mosaic class. Let me tell you briefly about Garden Gate before I discuss the class, because it's an awesome nursery and if you're in the Pensacola area, you should stop by. Emily makes a wonderful effort, year after year, to rescue butterflies. Picture above are Monarch caterpillars. Their numbers have declined by millions for several years in a row, due to natural catastrophes. Give Garden Gate a call if you find these caterpillars in the winter as the milkweed plants they eat are usually without leaves. Below is one of seven monarchs we hatched, as we fed/protected them in our bathroom. All seven fluttered happily away when we released them in April. Now, back to arts and crafts. In the Garden Gate newsletter, I found this and thought you'd like to know about it. The Garden Gate classes do fill rather quickly, but this was just announced Thursday night (Jan 5th) so you are informed early enough to get a spot. "Mosaics - The most fun of all our classes! Take out your aggressions with a hammer on tile and ceramics, and create something beautiful for your house or garden. Come learn the art and craft of mosaics and take home something you made in class
