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"

How to get a free StartSSL.com SSL certificate

I'm writing this up from memory, so errors may appear.

This has been updated to use SHA256 certificates.

Start

Go to http://www.startssl.com/
Click on 'Control Panel'

compile shared library:

$ cc -shared -fPIC -Wl,--no-as-needed -ldl -lpthread -Wl,-soname=forward.so -o forward.so forward.c

Run standard redis server in separate terminal

$ redis-server

Edit on GitHub links for Sphinx

Create _ext/ and _templates/ subdirectories.

Move edit_on_github.py into the _ext/ subdirectory.

Move sourcelink.html into the _templates/ subdirectory.

Add the following after the import sys, os line

This list now exists over at http://juliepagano.com/blog/2013/11/02/101-off-limits/ and will be updated there.

I keep saying that impromptu, unwanted feminism 101 discussions are exhausting and not a good use of my resources. Then people ask what I mean by 101, so I'm starting to make a list. This list will change over time - I recommend checking back.

I highly recommend checking this list before engaging with me about feminism if you're new to it. It'll save both of us a lot of time and frustration.

Diversity in tech

Women aren't equally represented in tech because biology

Nope. This argument is bad and the science does not support it. Unfortunately, every time you say this out loud, you are contributing to cultural problems that do decrease the number of women in tech.
