Hello Gimp!

Been using gimp for a few months now and it really irks me that gimp does not have the action capabilities of photoshop.... well I was wrong. It does have that action capability... BUT you have to write the script for it. No shortcut like in either photoshop or firewords where you just save from history. Eniways.... heres a script that will place "photographed by h20water" at the bottom right corner of images. ^_^ Save the code as some_filename.scm and drop it into gimp's scripts folder.


; An example script that writes a fixed string in the current
; image.
(define (script-fu-stamp-h20water img drawable)

(define text-float)

(let* (
(y_start (- (car(gimp-drawable-height drawable)) 11) )
(x_start (- (car(gimp-drawable-width drawable)) 120) )
(img_h (car(gimp-drawable-height drawable)) )
(img_w (car(gimp-drawable-width drawable)) )
(watermark (car (gimp-layer-new img
img_w img_h 0
"Watermarked" 100 0)))
)

;work with "watermarked" layer
(gimp-layer-add-alpha watermark)
(gimp-drawable-fill watermark 3)
(gimp-image-add-layer img watermark -1)

;set to b & w
(gimp-context-set-default-colors)


; Create the text. See the Procedure Browser for parameters of gimp-text.
(set! text-float (car (gimp-text-fontname img watermark
x_start y_start "photographed by h20water" 0 1 8 0
"Sans")))

; Anchor the selection
(gimp-floating-sel-anchor text-float)
)

; Flush output
(gimp-displays-flush)

)

(script-fu-register "script-fu-stamp-h20water"
"stamp h20water"
"stamp photographed by h20water in the current image"
"H20water "
"H20water"
"2008-03-07"
"RGB*, GRAY*"
SF-IMAGE "Input Image" 0
SF-DRAWABLE "Input Drawable" 0)
(script-fu-menu-register "script-fu-stamp-h20water"

Kitchen Updates + EP!!!!

March 2 marks the end of Janice's lease to her Tampines flat and I had to say goodbye to her kitchen, the one that I have become accustomed to using. Before we left, I was able to try making fried rice with ham and egg. It was edible but I kinda left out the salt so it was salt or pepper to taste. hehehe They said it was fine and to make it again... I did not eat it though because it would surely jack up my bad cholesterol level. hahaha Janice likes fried rice so I'll probably make this once in a while... at least I know what stuff I put in there. ^_^

We moved to our new place last weekend and I finally got the chance to cook in our "new" kitchen. I tried cooking shrimp with fried oatmeal... and Janice is currently sitting beside me finishing it off. hehehe yummy! I like the "old" kitchen but the "new" one I like better... will be posting pics soon.

Aside from moving and trying out new recipes, we joined the Hope church sports fest (will post pics soon) and I finally got my employment pass!!! Yehey!!! Now I need to find time (or inclination) to visit the embassy and poea. hehehe
