Fluid Images (aka fluid webpage layouts for images)
Whilst this immediately deviates from my original open source suggestion of what you could find on my blog, this really amazed me. You have to see it to understand it, but it is awesome! Now we just need someone to create an open standard implementing it…
Edit: Further investigation shows there is an open source C/C++ library called Liquid Rescale to do this and a GIMP plugin which can be installed in the Ubuntu gimp-plugin-registry package.
Hello world!
As I’m sure you’ve gathered by now I’m Greg, also known as fluteflute. What this blog will evolve into, I have no idea, but hopefully somebody, somewhere, at sometime will find it at least some of it vaguely interesting. Thats enough somes, so lets get down to business.
Basically, I’m interested in computers. Recently (well in the last few years) I discovered open source software – in the form of Firefox – at the time not differentiating it from plain freeware. Later, I discovered Ubuntu, and this lead me to find out more about the available open source software. So here I am now, extremely enthusiastic about all the exciting open source stuff out there.
Things I’m keeping an eye on range from the well known and established: Firefox, PHP, Python, Ubuntu, Debian, Wine, etc to the new and evolving projects such as Ubiquity, Ubuland and Gwibber. The list just has no end.
So, lets get started!
