Presentations are done after solving photoshop issue

Another late night, trying to get everything finished up for tomorrow. I learned a difficult lesson about working with gif in Adobe Photoshop CS3. I made a gif animation and saved as only gif, forgot to save the raw file and I needed to reedit the animation and Photoshop CS3 only open it as one frame.

From back in the days, I remember Photoshop allowing you to open already created gifs using image ready, but that feature is gone in CS3. I did some goggling and found out that the option is back in CS5 after user complaints. But I only had CS3 and I needed a solution. So, I started searching and found out that, I might be able to use Quicktime to load it into Photoshop as video.

So here is the solution.

I downloaded and installed latest version of Quicktime from Apple's site. You don't need pro. This will enable the following option to import in Photoshop.

Files > Import > Video Frames to Layer

Browse to the folder where the gif animation is and type in *.gif into the file name field and press enter. You can now see all gifs. Select one and load. Make sure you select make frame animation tick mark and click ok.


The final presentation is ready, now all we have to do is practice and dress nicely.

Presentation Proofs

Started on the presentations tonight. Can't believe how long this is taking, it's 4am and I am still not done, Making charts and gif animation is proving to be difficult, I lost my touch with graphics. Presentation 2 and 3 are complete. Presentation 1, which is mine is still in progress. I made a nice diagram/animation that explains what how the secondary architecture works for the common folks.

80% complete presentation in pptx

I am including the link to the 80% complete power point so rest of the folks can start practicing their voice overs.

Poster Proofs

The class voted and Design 5 Was selected, except top banner was to have a light colour and fonts needed to be bigger. I just finished updating the template. Now its time to start putting on the graphics and text together for all the poster. I am switching from Photoshop to Power point because of printing requirements, also it will be easier for other students to edit their own posters.

First up is Koji Build System for Fedora ARM:
Just needs another diagram about how koji hub works and it's complete.
update: Diagram created from Chris' sketch.





DXR:









Koji Cert Creation:









SheevaPlug Configuration








Intro poster: More information is required before creating a poster. I will be doing some research tomorrow.

Koji builder poster: There isn't any info at all here. Needs updating.

Dead tired. These posters took longer than I thought it would. Time to sleeeep.

Pick a design you guys like or suggest something else and I will create it. Also send me all your info and screen shots if its not on your wiki. If you also taken notes on paper or drew diagram, scan and send them to me and I will create digital version for the poster. Thank you.

High from Higher Speeds

Mid week task.

One thing I quickly discovered; that compiling using make takes forever. I mean depending on the build, but anything bigger than a text editor demands a coffee break and throw graphics (GUI apps) into the mix and you will need to go for lunch.

To speed up the process make can run parallels processes. This is done by using the -j# option after make. I tried default, j4, j6 on source code of nano.

time make -j6

The fastest time was achived by j6. Lesson learned; use -j option to avoid caffeine addiction.

First Couple of Builds

The task is to build two packages.
-one is nled source
-second one is wireshark source

Building and installing the nled from source file was pretty easy and brings back memories from ops235.

$ tar -zvf nled_2_52_src.tgz
$ cd into the directory created
$ make



No need to install nled. Just run from the program directory ./nled


nled now running

Next is wireshark
I chose to build wireshark because it has a configure file and I can use it for my security class.

$ tar zvf
first i ran the ./configure but it returned with errors for dependencies. So, read the README file and downloaded all the required libraries. Ran the ./configure file again, but still an error. This was caused because it needed the developer libraries libpcap-devel not just the libpcap

yum install libpcap-devel

$ ./configure went through without any warnnings.
$ make
$ make install

make took forever. Gotta try the -j option for make next time. Make install (had to be root).

$ wireshark



FINALLY!!!

First Post and Tasks.

Hi everyone, this is my first blog post. This blog was created to track my progress for SBR600 class. Software development world is new to me, so I am excited see how things are carried out.

Our class will be mainly focusing on the Fedora Project and I am looking forward to try, observe and learn new things. So, hopefully I can contribute something worthwhile in the long run.

The first tasks include:

-installing a IRC client and getting on one of the seneca channels. Conversation posted below.
-Setting up this blog
-setup with fedora project
-setup myself at seneca cdot wiki
-Add myself to the SRB600 winter 2010 class




I lied. There is no conversation. No one was online at 2am. But here is an example. You get the point.
