batch converting Nikon .NEF images to greyscale JPG
Run this in a directory of .NEF files to
* create a directory "mkdir bw-jpg-greyscale-lightness"
* convert each image to black and white with auto exposure, colors, white-balence, etc.
* save each image as a JPG to the "mkdir bw-jpg-greyscale-lightness" directory
Written by yours truly
#!/bin/sh
mkdir bw-jpg-greyscale-lightness;
for file in *.NEF;
do ufraw-batch $file --out-path=bw-jpg-greyscale-lightness --wb=auto --exposure=auto --black-point=auto --color-smoothing --grayscale=lightness --out-type=jpg;
donelucid eclipse autocomplete doesn't appear right: solved
Go to System > Preferences > Appearance, choose the theme you want, click "customize", and change the background and text colors for tooltips. You can do it real-time and see your changes, which is great.
Seems like this is a core ubuntu bug, in my book.
adding aliases the easy way
I'm always forgetting the syntax..
echo "alias drush='~/drush/drush'" >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profileGoing commando with flex on ubuntu: mxmlc, fdb, fcsh
No, I did not just sneeze at you. These are the names of the commands you should get to know if you're a bleeding edge Flex developer.
In a nutshell:
mxmlc flashcard.mxmlTo get more advanced, specify the path to output the compiled swf to, and mark for debug:
mxmlc -library-path+=libs/as3corelib.swc -debug=true -output=bin-debug/flashcard.swf src/flashcard.mxmlInstalling PDT on Eclipse 3.5, Ubuntu lucid 10.04
I couldn't get this working for a while. I had a stock eclipse setup from the Ubuntu repository that I had put Flex Builder in. Next went to install PDT but couldn't get it working whether through a repository, through the eclipse update site, etc.
I didn't realize you need to run eclipse as root to install plugins. and it provides no error message telling you the installation was a complete failure- it just fails to write the plugin files silently. doh!
Here's how to get it working:
- start eclipse as root - sudo eclipse
- Help > Install new software
ubuntu lucid: flex builder w/ sdk 4 on eclipse 3.5 gallymead. no.
UPDATE: I gave up on this approach and moved back to Eclipse Europa 3.3
Much to my dismay, there were just too many bugs trying to get FB to support 3.5 correctly. I had it mostly working, but there are unresolved issues with the ProblemManager Class that caused consistent "internal build error" messages and generally completely unacceptable error reporting.
I don't know about you but the scope of my Flex work is such that I need top-notch error-reporting. And I really don't like having to apply multiple patches to get my IDE to a half-functional state.

This saved me a bunch of time downgrading from 64-bit to 32-bit ubuntu:
upgrading Flex builder linux to alpha 5, on 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10:
OK. So for anyone else having this issue, when Adobe decides to piss on us Linux Flash developers again:
This time it was making my Flex Builder Alpha expire. First it took hours ( and two unhelpful Adobe reps ) to realize that there was a new alpha available for Flex. I thought they were trying to make me buy a license. So I figured, oh, cool, it'll be a cinch to upgrade. But I was incorrect.
