Mummy, what’s Santa doing?

I got a great Christmas card today with a great stamp on it.
Now I might be wrong, but is that not Santa shitting down a chimney?

Creating shadows with Imagemagick

I needed to create drop shadows on around 200 images. I didn’t really like the idea of doing it with Gimp as that would have taken hours! It is really simple to do it using Imagemagick

convert
\( +clone -background black -shadow 80x3+5+5 \) +swap -background white -mosaic

I needed to convert a whole directory, so it’s just a simple case of wrapping it around a loop

for a in *.jpg
do
echo $a
convert "$a" \( +clone -background black -shadow 80x3+5+5 \) +swap -background white -mosaic "shadows/$a"
done

HSBC – Make the right choice

I received this e-mail from HSBC earlier today telling me that I’d given HSBC my e-mail address but not the permission to use it. Yes that’s right HSBC. I haven’t given you permission to use my e-mail address.. SO DON’T FUCKING USE IT!

When you’re alone, and life is making you lonely, You can always have downtime

Wahoo, I’m back! You’ve probably noticed that Deaconsworld has been down for the last few days. I’m really sorry about that, but everything back and working now.

Pipex have upgraded my line from 1Mb to 2Mb but things didn’t go well as they allocated me a new IP range. All sorted now though. Thanks to Suzanne in Business Retentions.

Anyway still having problems with e-mail or their website please drop me an e-mail.
