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:

rotatutorial-01

Use the ruler tool and measure an angle in the image that you want to set to 90°.

rotatutorial-02

Image > Rotate Canvas > Arbitrary

rotatutorial-03

Photoshop kindly enters in the angle you need to adjust your image to:

rotatutorial-04

And that’s all there is to it!

rotatutorial-05

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!

I made a tumblr blog. I wanted to see if there’s a way I can get my tumblr feed to create posts in Joomla.

If this works out I’ll be posting through here and maybe link this up with my twitter account.

Old man Winter was pretty quiet most of the season until this week.

I managed to dig the mailbox out. The box was popped off and under a couple of feet of drift. Now I can receive bills! Hooray!

I took my aikido black belt test back in May at the Spring seminar in Monteal. It was hosted by Aikido De La Montagne. That was my second trip up to that particular seminar. This time I brought my wife and kiddos. Except for tromping through the rain a bit we had a great time.

The video was taken by my son Remington. It's kind of blurry at times because the camera is very temperamental.

Oh and I passed! :D
