A google image search feature you probably don’t already know about.

This is a Google image search feature that I found and is one that I use all the time.

Let say I wanted to find some images of people related to the gnu project. Well if I did a image search I would get all kinds of pictures of gnu programs, the mascot, all kinds of things that I didn’t want. Well Google has been working on a face recognition features to filter out any image not containing a image. Here is an example on how to use it.

Click here to see a normal image search on gnu.

See how you get all kinds of images.

Now click here to see a face image search on gnu.

See how now you only see images containing faces.

The only way I know how to access this feature is by adding “&imgtype=face” to the end of the url.

So I turned the origional url of,

http://images.google.com/images?q=gnu

Into…

http://images.google.com/images?q=gnu&imgtype=face

Pretty easy to do, and very helpful.

The only thing I wounder now is what other imgtypes there are…

Enjoy,

How to make a comic.

September 11th, 2007

Every wanted to make your own comic strip? Well this short tutorial will show you how.

First visit the Stripgenerator. This is a really cool web app that has pre-made characters and objects to allow you to quickly put your content together.

When you have your comic finished, hit the publish button, then on the next page, right click on the image and save it.

The only problem with the comic now, is the url on the side pointing to where you made it, well I’ve written a little app to take care of that.

Just download the StripTrimmer, then install it. After it is installed run it. It will ask you for the comic, find it and hit ok. It will then ask you for the number of panels in your comic, 1, 2, or 3.

In this screen all you do is type in what you would like to appear on the side instead of the url, then save it.Note:the program exports as gif.

Good Luck,
