Tip Of The Day (1) : Screenshot 

first install imagemagick : 
sudo apt-get install imagemagick

then open in terminal the folder containing your pictures you want to resize, and then type the following : 
for file in *.[picture extension]; do convert $file -resize [size you want] [new-name]-$file; done

example, for .JPG files that you want to resize in 800*600 (the file will be sized to fit in a 800*600 frame without destroying ratio)
for file in *.JPG; do convert $file -resize 800x600 resized-$file; done

Your resized pictures are now called resized-*.JPG (original pics are not overwritten) ie : 
DSCF2248.JPG is now called resized-DSCF2248.JPG

Now you have forum-ready pics, for fast upload and quick sharing ;)

CCFL : some experiments

A while ago i took apart some screens with CCFL backlight, and then did nothing with it.

It's time to change that ! 


What is used : 

• Old PSU
• CCFL inverter bought in a electronic shop
• Some CCFL took from screens
• some electric wire
• soldering iron
• soldering tin

the CCFL tube is longer than the Inverter can handle, that's why i played with it,with a smaller one i got a geeky desk light.

here is the lighting circuit : 

here is the result : 

And in the dark now : 

Ok, This was pointless ... but that was fun to play with
