Description

This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.

The script is here:

#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"

Virtual Hosts on nginx (CSC309)

When hosting our web applications, we often have one public IP address (i.e., an IP address visible to the outside world) using which we want to host multiple web apps. For example, one may wants to host three different web apps respectively for example1.com, example2.com, and example1.com/images on the same machine using a single IP address.

How can we do that? Well, the good news is Internet browsers

"How do I get started with Node?" is a commonly heard question in #Node.js. This gist is an attempt to compile some of the answers to that question. It's a perpetual work-in-progress.

And if this list didn't quite answer your questions, I'm available for tutoring and code review! A donation is also welcome :)

Setting expectations

Before you get started learning about JavaScript and Node.js, there's one very important article you need to read: Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years.

Understand that it's going to take time to learn Node.js, just like it would take time to learn any other specialized topic - and that you're not going to learn effectively just by reading things, or following tutorials or courses. _Get out there and build things!

Service Worker - offline support for the web

Progressive apps - high-res icon, splash screen, no URL bar, etc.

Progressive Web Apps: Escaping Tabs Without Losing Our Soul

This is a simple LINQPad script I wrote one day to load test some large SQL servers. Maybe it's useful to someone. The basic premise is defining your queries once, including which ID patterns to fetch (at the bottom), and load test a mixture. The script defines everything needed in one place, then fires up the command-line linqpad runner to run many queries at once.

Params up top:

const string LinqPadPath = @"C:\Linqpad\lprun.exe";
const bool runSequential = false;
const int defaultThreads = 1;
const int defaultIterations = 2000;
