gerbils

February 20th, 2010

after blodgett contemplating this picture:

it thought that it would be good if babies were called gerbils. they seem to have many gerbil-like qualities, the word gerbil also suits well the concept of sprog.

pure green

February 8th, 2010

blodgett have completed work on a most useful utility, it determine which of your pictures are most green.
vague apologies this amazing feature currently *nix-only as blodgett rather lazy with file paths

cods they are here:
http://blodgett.doof.me.uk/real/greenify.py

to use:
0) save script to disk, e.g. into home directory
1) open terminal
2) type without the quote marks the following:
“python greenify.py [image folder] [output folder]”
where the part [image folder] should be replaced by the path to the image folder you want scanned
and [output folder] should be replaced by the name of the folder you want the results in.

note! all subdirectories of [image folder] also searched!

for example, say blodgett has pictures in
/home/blodgett/pictures/artwork
and wants to put the sorted ones into a folder called ‘green’ in its home directory. blodgett would type:
python greenify.py pictures/artwork green

whereupon the folder called green would be magically created and filled with artworks, greenest first! yay!

“apologies, one was morgenblatting”
