Publishing pictures to the web
May 17, 2008
Something that I've always found to be a pain is grabbing screenshots, resizing them, uploading them, and then adding them to blog posts. In fact, I've mentioned it before. More and more I'd like something that at least makes it easier than it is now. Time to put my thinking cap on!
Update: May 19: I bit the bullet, and after five hours, I've got this working. It took a bit longer than I had hoped, but the end result is pretty slick. I can grab a picture, resize it, put a border on it, and add it to a blog post in about 15 seconds.

Processing.jsMay 9, 2008
Who knew you could create pretty pictures with Javascript? The just-released
Processing.js does just that, and does it very well.
This also interests me from the standpoint of tightly integrating something like PVL into a programming language, such as the language Lemur that I've been working on. It has always annoyed me that it wasn't easy to create pretty pictures using programming languages.
First wiki articleMay 9, 2008
A few years ago, Matt Langeman introduced me to the notion of
wikis. A couple months later, I wrote a wiki for work, since there was no easy way to create or edit documentation. And so, over the last 4 years, I've created about 400 wiki documents at work. But I've never contributed a wiki document on the wider Internet... until today, of course :)
