Previously I was having problems with Ubuntu dropping wifi connections and failing to reconnect, to solve this I wrote a script which would kill the network-manager and then connect using iwconfig commands (here). While this works fine, it felt a little hacky, having to have a script running as sudo constantly in the background […]
I wanted a cheat sheet which would display pretty nicely on my Kindle 3, I found a bunch of great ones but none were formatted well to fit on the Kindle so I went ahead and compiled my own from the most useful stuff I found on the others. I’ve put in commands for […]

Remember this Photoshop CS5 sneak peak showing off it’s latest and greatest feature Content-Aware Fill a couple months ago, well it turns out a reasonably old plug-in for GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) named Resynthesizer seems to work just as great and because it is what it is, it’s free and open-source.
Installing on Ubuntu 9.10/10.04 install:
sudo apt-get install gimp-resynthesizer
or for the Source/Windows/Fedora Core 4 versions see the download section.
Once you have it installed, it’s simple to use really just select something on your image that shouldn’t be there and right click on the selection Filters -> Map -> Resynthesize.. and up should pop an options box, these settings are pretty standard and will get rid of most things given that they aren’t too big. It’s best if you’re not getting the results you want to play around with the settings yourself to get to know them better.
Click after the break for an example with step by step guide. Continue reading HowTo: Install & Use Resynthesizer for GIMP

The power cable for my Acer Travelmate 5720 started playing up, it started by turning on and off just while I was typing and so I checked it out just in time to catch it smoking. So I quickly removed it from my laptop and the wall and took it outside to cool down […]
