Add border to images from command line using montage.

Adding a border to the images from command line is quite simple. But if you have couple of images in a directory that you want to add border to then it may become quite painful 🙂

So what is the solution. You can simply use a one liner to do the job for you.

for i in *.jpg; do montage -geometry 720×576 -background black -quality 100 $i conv-$i; done

The process of creating a custom “Manufactured and Supported by” logo involves two parts.

Types of DNS records

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">Type: A – Point subdomain.domain.com to a hard coded IP Address. Most direct and straight forward option, also note any change you make in the FreeDNS program is reflected on the internet and made live immediately. The only way you will not see immediate results is if you have cached a query on your computer by looking it up PRIOR to configuring it in the FreeDNS program.

Open-ID integration for login.

I have been thinking about this for quite sometime now. So here it is finally. I have integreted OpenID login for my blogs, what it would basically mean is that you would be able to see the stats for my site after logging into to my blog site with your OpenID. You are not bothered with captcha if you are logged in.

I think that should make leaving a comment more simpler. Comments please. 🙂

Windows visitor more than Linux visitor :)

I installed the StatPressCN plugin sometime back, just for fun and to see the stats on the visitors of my blog. Yesterday I was reading a blog entry(dont remember whose), who mentioned that the number of visits on his website was more from windows and thus I thought I will check out the stats on my site. Guess what 🙂
