Image Rotation in Photoshop
Wednesday, 13 October 2010 07:21
Need to rotate an image in photoshop? Suppose you have an image that for whatever reason is off-angle and you want it square, 90°.
Photoshop has a cool way of dealing with that.
Image needing adjusting:
Use the ruler tool and measure an angle in the image that you want to set to 90°.
Image > Rotate Canvas > Arbitrary
Photoshop kindly enters in the angle you need to adjust your image to:
And that’s all there is to it!
Joomla Update Manager

Kind of excited to find this. It's an automatic update tool for your Joomla install. Reminds me of the updater you can get for Wordpress. I just used it to update to 1.5.15 and it worked great!
I did run a quick Joomlapack backup before running it of course.
Here's the link: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/installers/9332
Color Theory

ColorSchemer is a handy color scheme generator.
You put in hex or rgb values and it creates a color palette.
I used it to come up with the palette for this site.
notepad.exe vs. .htaccess
Thursday, 07 October 2010 06:34
Danger…
I was editing an a .htaccess file via FTP (right click, edit this) and wanted to add a rewrite rule for a subdirectory to make it act like a subdomain. Saved the file, FTP threw it up, reload the page, then:
500 SERVER ERROR
Crap. This is a production website that I was trying to unobtrusively work in a development sub-environment on. There’s nothing quite like bombing out the entire website with an unusable .htaccess file.
I figured the problem was in my code so I quickly deleted what I added and resaved, ftp uploaded it and… still a 500 error!
Come to find out my Notepad decided to concatenate all of my apparent line breaks into unreadable supercalafragalistic chunks.
So instead of this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
It looked more like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
Solution: used notepad++ and fixed it. No more 500 errors and my rewrites work now too.
new site launch
Thursday, 30 September 2010 19:02
I’m very excited to announce the launch of my sensei, Harvey Konigsberg’s new website. It has been in the works since about late last Spring. I built it on the Joomla/Virtuemart platform. It features a totally custom template built mostly on my Zen theme. Over 60 artworks with large detailed images, are on the site and available for purchase.
The main goal of the project is to provide a way for Harvey to sell prints of his artworks.
You can see the site here: http://www.harveykonigsberg.com.
There is a link on the site to a blurb.com page where you can also purchase a copy of his book.
