Hey..
I've caught myself several times reading these ads, but I must admit that I'm a bit lazy to answer, it's definitlely easier to write one. Here it goes.
My motivations are not that extravagant, I'd like to meet someone with whom I could share interesting things and above all, to learn and develop different ways of looking at the world.
Since I don't suffer from the feminine usual discursive mania and don't have a particular passion for the sound of my own voice (which is nevertheless actually very pleasant), I've realized that my so interpreted connivance allows people to design my character as they want. It's very interesting, for sure, anthropologically speaking. I get the chance to learn with an acute subtlety the most diverse perspectives and angles with which humans can interpret things. But one day it becomes monotone, I get bored and leave. People don't understand, they ask why, and I ask them: why didn't you ask before...? Timing.
So... Sharing... Would be infinitely better.
Ah. Important distinction. I can speak a lot, when pertinent and in a context of dialogue.
Besides, about me... I study, I work when I have to, I've lived in several countries, travelled a lot, met lots of people from the most different backgrounds, I cry in every classical concert I go and in the end of most romances, copiously. I'm quite elegant and good looking, of course it matters. And I passionately love surprises.

Hope you're not as lazy as I am... :)

Cheers!

Many of the people I know working in the print world took an awful lot of comfort this week in this video hosted by Britain’s Penguin Books, which takes a palindromic look at the typical teenager and how they engage with media. (Though I gotta say — just because you care about reading does not mean you can’t care a little bit about what Lady Gaga is wearing.)

Watching it made me wonder how many other videos I could find out there with a palindrome twist, and the answer proved to be “quite a few.” The first thing that popped up was Weird Al Yankovic’s Bob, a clear homage to Mr. Bob Dylan:

Then, thanks to Future Shorts on YouTube, I discovered the Brazilian short film Palindrome, which shows us the ruin of a man’s life from a reverse angle.

And this short and simple look at modern life is an interesting palindromic experience thanks to the music, which twists around just as the footage does.

Clearly, there’s a lot of mileage to be gained from the concept — maybe we’re looking at the framework for the next OK Go video?

France 12-10 England

France duly won the grand slam, but not in the manner to which their supporters had become accustomed. It was England, gallant in defeat, who showed the ambition and enterprise with Ben Foden and Chris Ashton damning the national management for not being bolder sooner, but once again they were outsmarted. A rainy night in Paris was not the time to discover that handling was not taboo in rugby.

England scored the only try and came close to adding three more while France barely threatened their line, but the conditions demanded a territory game, something England belatedly came to realise and they brought on Jonny Wilkinson for the shoot-out. He kicked one penalty but was never in range for a drop goal as France claimed their fourth consecutive title in seasons after a Lions tour.

France had already won the championship courtesy of Scotland's victory in Ireland a few hours before, but they had made it clear all week that the title would be a mere consolation and that it was the grand slam and England's scalp they craved.

They were presented with two early opportunities to attack after Dylan Hartley's crooked throw into a line-out in his own 22 led to France being awarded a free-kick at the subsequent scrum. They took it quickly but settled for the very English option of a drop goal from the fly-half François Trinh-Duc.

England then decided to play like France. Toby Flood launched his back line from deep and Mike Tindall freed Mark Cueto with a long pass. The ball was quickly recycled, Flood threw a cut-out pass to Flutey who gave the ball in one movement to the debutant, Chris Ashton. He in turn shipped it quickly to Ben Foden on the left wing who had an unopposed 30-metre run to the line for Flood to convert, an example of how to create space without making a break.

The last time England had shown any swagger was when Flood played in the centre against Wales, and then only off turnover ball. Not even the rain put them off last night, Ashton twice breaking tackles only for his kick to be charged down by Clément Poitrenaud before England surrendered possession at the breakdown.

England's catharsis left France stunned to the point of catatonia. Flood went on a mazy run just outside his own 22 and it was Les Bleus who were applying the brakes, Trinh-Duc's long touchfinder winning applause from the crowd before Morgan Parra missed a long-range penalty.

England were missing Steve Borthwick in the line-out, even if their general demeanour more resembled that of his successor as captain, Lewis Moody. Simon Shaw's right shoulder gave out again after 15 minutes and he was replaced by the Stade Français lock Tom Palmer, one of five France-based players in the squad.

England's scrum started to go backwards, missing Shaw's ballast, and the role reversal continued as France, growing ever more cautious, crept back into the lead with two Parra penalties, the second after England's's front row collapsed a scrum after being shoved ignominiously backwards. The referee taking such a disdainful view of England's scrummaging was Bryce Lawrence, the New Zealand official who contentiously blew Phil Vickery off King's Park during the first Test between the Lions and South Africa last year.

The rain fell ever harder but still England looked to keep the ball in hand. It was, perhaps, another example of the one-dimensional approach that has been their ruin since the 2003 World Cup, over-reliance on a gameplan. Too much of the match was being played in their half and two more penalties for scrum collapses gave France the position from which Parra kicked his third penalty.

Both England's props were feeling the squeeze and the hooker Hartley had been warned after his knee connected with the prop Thomas Domingo's ribs. It was one way of trying to sort out the problems in the scrum, but England conceded 10 penalties and free-kicks to two in the opening period, indiscipline undermining their new-found ambition and they went into the interval 12-7 down.

England made two changes in the front row at the start of the second-half, Steve Thompson and David Wilson adding bulk up front and getting the scrum out of reverse gear. England continued to seek space but they were most threatening when turning the defence by kicking: Care's chip to the line would have been taken by Foden had it not bounced into touch, while Ashton, a right-footer playing on the left wing while Cueto was a left-footer playing on the right, lost the race for his chip ahead with Poitrenaud.

England had clearly been told to play more in their own half, but kicking is not Flood's forte. He was hopelessly short with a long-range drop goal attempt and sliced a weighted kick towards the France 22 directly into touch. The visitors had at least stopped haemorrhaging penalties and their defence, apart from one move that saw the wing Marc Andreu threaten down the right, did not suffer from doubt.

Foden and Ashton, in contrast, were causing the defenders grief with their angles of running and footwork, but England were not turning pressure into points. Cueto's run into the midfield was not picked up and he had a clear run into the home 22: Flutey was outside him, but Cueto tried to step Poitrenaud and was nailed.

As the game entered the final quarter, France's nemesis over the years, Wilkinson, was brought on. He went to outside-half with Flood shifted into the centre in place of Flutey. It was now about points and when Julien Bonnaire boneheadedly took out Care at a ruck near halfway, Wilkinson brought England back to within two points with a 50-metre penalty.

England were now within a drop goal of winning. France had been 9-8 ahead in the last five minutes of the 2007 semi-final against England at the Stade de France when a Wilkinson penalty and drop goal turned the game. The crowd tried desperately to rally their side as Les Bleus looked to set up camp in England's half, but nerves and hands betrayed the new champions.

Wilkinson kicked deep, hurting his shoulder after leading the chase, and France four times ran from deep. Bonnaire blatantly entered one ruck from the side but was not penalised, though after Julien Malzieu had been hauled down on his own 10-metre line, James Haskell, not long on, flopped over the top.

France gave away a penalty of their own through Jean-Baptiste Poux. Wilkinson's kick only made the halfway line as the countdown clock reached zero. England were forced to move the ball, but Cueto's knock-on ended the game to the relief of France and the anger of the England manager, Martin Johnson, who came on to the field to remonstrate with the officials over a quick line-out four minutes from the end, which saw Wilkinson gain 60 metres, but that was not the reason England lost.

Unless you have been living under a rock all this while, you would have known about the Google Nexus One smartphone that is touted to be a “superphone” by Google, as it squares up against the almighty Apple iPhone which has a worldwide legion of rabid fans, ready to come to its defense any day. Well, the Google Nexus One also has a different moniker, where it is known as the HTC Desire – previously known as the Bravo. Guess all of the hardware specification will more or less remain the same as the Nexus One, as this model will retain more than a handful of quality features to keep you hooked to it. More on the HTC Desire will be explained right after the jump.

The handset itself will run on a rather well executed alliance between the Google Android operating system as well as the HTC Sense user interface which enables users to customize multiple home screens with web feeds and other content that one would find most relevant. Apart from that, you will always be in the loop since the HTC Desire allows you to receive a continuous stream of comments, photos and status updates on popular social networking sites including Facebook and Twitter. To contact one of your friends is a snap, since all possible avenues of communication will be offered, ranging from email to SMS, Facebook and calling. With a virtually endless amount of downloadable apps from the Android Market as well as Google services such as Google Maps, Google Search and Gmail, the HTC Desire sounds like a truly complete handset for any smartphone user.

Hardware-wise, you get a 3.7″ AMOLED touchscreen display with multi-touch capability, offering an above average web browsing and multimedia experience. HTC has also thrown in an accelerometer that makes it a snap to rotate the angle of the display, while a proximity sensor will set the display to standby mode whenever you are entertaining a call, so that there won’t be any accidental selections of options. A 5.0-megapixel camera with autofocus and an LED flash lets you snap quality photos in a jiffy, but don’t expect it to hold up as well as a regular consumer class digital camera. It really depends on which carrier do you want to get tied down to in the UK with the HTC Desire, but most of them often throw in a free gift to make the deal all the more enticing.

RandomDorm is a new site that's following in the footsteps of the explosively popular random video chat service Chatroulette, but adding its own twist: it's for college students only. To use RandomDorm, you need a .edu email address or a Facebook account with a .edu address as the primary email. RandomDorm is also limited to the US right now (it's "geotarded," as Lee is fond of saying).

Despite the word "Random" in the name, RandomDorm definitely offers a much smaller variety of characters than Chatroulette. Half the fun of Chatroulette is meeting pranksters and talking to folks in other countries. Randomdorm is definitely about as heavily male as Chatroulette, but so far I've noticed much less full frontal male nudity. I consider this a plus, but tastes may vary.

What might really help RandomDorm take off is the dating angle. Chatroulette has gained unexpected traction as a matchmaking site, with people even posting Chatroulette missed connections all over the web. Well, take that and narrow the pool to college students ... it's bound to be a dating goldmine. No surprise, then, that RandomDorm was developed by the creators of GoodCrush, a matchmaking site.

Très souvent , je trouve mes idées d’articles sur d’autres sites (bien souvent consacré aux logiciels privateurs) ou dans la presse papier. Pour ce tutoriel gimp , c’est dans un magazine consacré a Photoshop (que je n’ai pas acheté , presque 15 euros) qui m’a inspiré. L’effet a déja été utilisé dans des pubs avec aussi des sportifs en mouvement. Le but sera donc de supprimer le fond pour ne garder que le sujet et créer une sorte d’aura lumineuse. (un peu comme dans un certain dessin animé qui passait au club do’)

Je vais donc tenter de refaire quelque chose qui ressemble a ce que j’ai vu dans cet onéreux mag tout en utilisant gimp et mes connaissances qui sont ce quelles sont      (je ne suis pas un pro)

Voici un petit exemple de ce que l’on peut faire dans le même style :  (c’était un essai un peu raté)

Pour mon tuto, j’ai utilisé les éléments suivants :

- la photo de ce sportif disponible ici

- les brosses gimp (.gbr) que vous pouvez trouver sur trois pages deviantart : aurora / edge / odysee

Comment installer les brosses sous gimp ?

Sous linux, c’est très simple ! (hihi) Un dossier «Â brushes » se trouve dans le répertoire caché .gimp2.6 de votre «Â home ». Placez les fichierz .gbr dedans et redémarrez gimp.

Sous windows, il faudra chercher dans program files/gimp/gimp2.6/share/brushes (je ne me rapelle plus de l’arborescence exacte). Placez les gbr dedans et le tour est joué.

J’avais oublié de le préciser , quelques connaissances de bases de gimp sont nécessaires.

C’est parti !

 

Première chose, il faut charger la photo du sportif et commencer a supprimer le fond. C’est l’opération la plus longue et franchement la plus chiante. Il faut de la précision et de la patience (pas trop mon truc la patience). Pour éviter non pas de faire une fausse manipulation sur le détourage (c’est inévitable le mauvais coup de souris) mais pour revenir en arrière plus facilement , j’opte pour le masque de calque.

Pour commencer :

- Ajouter le canal alpha sur le calque contenant l’image chargée

- Créer un nouveau calque et placer le en dessous de la photo, il va nous servir de fond noir par la suite.

- Ajouter le masque de calque a la photo en laissant l’opacité complète. ( clic droit sur le calque / Ajouter un masque de calque)

Le principe du masque de calque est simple , on peint en noir les zones de l’image que l’on veut cacher. Si l’on a fait une boulette , il suffit de repeindre une zone en blanc pour qu’elle redevienne visible. Pour gagner du temps, je sélectionne des zones du fond avec la baguette magique puis je resélectionne le masque calque et je remplis cette sélection en noir. (menu Edition / remplir avec la couleur de premier plan)

Une fois rempli de noir la sélection celle ci devient transparente ! Toutes les zones plus chiantes car trop complexes comme les trous entre les cheveux devront être terminées avec un pinceau blanc a bord flou.

C’est un vrai jeu de patience !

Voici une zone a ne pas oublier ! Avec la baguette magique et quelques coups de pinceaux, elle sera effacée très facilement.

Voici le gros avantage du masque de calque. Comme vous pouvez le voir sur l’image précédente, la baguette magique a débordé sur la jambe. Ce n’est pas grave du tout car il suffira de repeindre en blanc sur le masque pour corriger. Ce petit travail est largement compensé par le temps gagné par la baguette.

Maintenant, on peut remplir le calque du fond avec une couleur noire. L’image commence a prendre une bonne tournure ! Encore un peu de patience et on accède au plus amusant.

La chevelure est une partie délicate de l’image. Il faudra sortir le pinceau pour éliminer au mieux les zones encore vertes.

(une partie a ne pas oublier)

baguette magique !

On remplis de noir et on corrige au pinceau.

Si on passe un coup de baguette magique sur le fond noir on peu s’apercevoir qu’il reste des pixels a effacer. Bien faire le tour pour tout éliminer avec un pinceau noir.

C’est pour ainsi tout bon pour le détourage. Il peut rester un peu de vert tout autour du coureur. Pour réduire ce défaut, j’ai une petite combine.

Sélectionnez avec la baguette le fond noir autour du coureur avec la baguette magique. Allez dans le menu Sélection / Adoucir. Mettez 4 pixels. Retournez ensuite dans le menu sélection et choisissez Agrandir , mettez 2 pixels. Puis remplissez en noir par le menu édition / remplir. Le fait d’agrandir la sélection va rogner tout autour du personnage et «Â manger » un peu du vert restant.

Ceci fait, créez un nouveau calque et placez le entre le calque fond et celui qui contient la demoiselle. Remplissez ce claque de bleu.

Ajoutez un masque de calque complètement noir. (transprence totale)

Sur ce nouveau masque , peignez avec un pinceau blanc tout autour du coureur. Le bleu d’origine va apparaître.

Toujours le masque de calque sélectionné, allez dans le menu filtre / Flou / Flou cinétique et appliqué ce effet avec une longueur de 200 et un angle de 90°. On peu réduire l’opacité du calque pour voir une aura plus ou moins forte. Pour changer la couleur de l’aura, il suffit de sélectionner le calque entier et de remplir avec une nouvelle couleur.

Créez un nouveau calque placé en dessous du coureur.Utilisez les brosses «Â aurora » tout autour en faisant attention de ne pas créer quelque de répétitif. Jouez avec plusieurs brosses pour obtenir quelque chose d’équivalent a l’image suivante. Changez également la taille de la brosse pour diversifier les motifs.

Créez un autre calque et utilisez les brosses edge et odysee pour donner un impression de vitesse.

Voici le résultat avec la totalité des calques visibles :

Merci d’avoir lu jusqu’ici et amusez vous bien avec gimp.

To help out the adoption of WebGL, the Khronos-backed API originally started by Mozilla that seeks to let web developers tap into modern graphics processors via the web-browser natively, has caused Google to get into the graphics driver game. WebGL binds to OpenGL ES 2.0, and with the Microsoft graphics drivers being more DirectX-optimized rather than OpenGL, Google's playing to Microsoft. Google wants more users to be able to use WebGL, particularly when running the Chrome browser, so they have just announced the Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine. The objective of ANGLE is to just take the subset of the OpenGL ES API exposed by WebGL and to translate those extensions into their DirectX 9.0c equivalents...

Okay, before you get too excited about getting some magic invisibility cloak like Harry Potter, you should know that so far, this technology has only made one thing invisible: a bump on a gold bar.

Yes, it is a bump that is only 0.00004 inches high and 0.0005 inch across, which you probably wouldn’t see in the first place, as it can only be seen with a magnifying glass.

Still, it is a start, and these researchers at Germany’s Karlsruhe Institute of Technology was able to cloak this tiny bump, could prevent its detection at nearly visible infrared frequencies. I’m not talking about camouflage, but the cloaking effect was visible in 3D from all angles.

How do they do it? Well, the cloak is a “a structure of crystals with air spaces in between, sort of like a woodpile, that bends light, hiding the bump in the gold later beneath”. As you might have guessed, size does matter when it comes to turning something invisible, and “cloaking larger items with that technology is not really feasible”.

In other words, we are a long way away before our vehicles can cloak like the Romulans on Star Trek. Still, I am experiencing both the wonder and horror of knowing that we have invisibility technology, even if it is still in its infancy.

RaeMote is a N900 desktop widget that turns your N900 into an Apple Remote that can control your Mac Mini, MacBooks and iPod docks via IR. RaeMote has been developed by Thomas Perl and is available for download in the extras testing repository. The widget works as expected and has surprisingly good range.

I was able to control my Macbook from around 5-6 meters away without having to align the device and this worked from wide angles as well. Here is a video of the application in action. If you haven’t enabled extras-testing, here’s how to do it.
