This is NOT a final image. Rather, it's the test of a background for a lurid pulp magazine cover I'm making. But I thought someone might be curious as to all the things wrong with this image. First of all, I'm using a mixture of actual props set against a 2D background. That's painfully obvious in the case of the row of torture implements to the left of the model. The background is slightly out of focus, and the 'objects' supposedly hanging on the wall aren't. My choices are remove the implements, ditch the 2D background, or blur each instrument to match the wall. I haven't decided yet. The final image will feature a different helpless victim bound in the foul kidnapper's lair, different clothes, and my fearless female private eye in the foreground, guns blasting. And since this is all background, most of it will be obscured anyway -- but it's a lot easier to fix problems now than once you're merged all the layers. That leads to bad language.

It's not easy to make clothes for small clothes and it's not easy to design patterns, but this could be a good start!

Mark a 1-inch fold line on the longside of the printer paper. If you're using a different sized template, use half the height.

 

(I have a 2-inch template, so I used a 1-inch fold line).

Preparing to make a pair of earrings using a pretty pair of petrified palmwood cabs.

I like to whipstitch my my binding/back-side hexagon (in blue) to the quilt top hexagons (in white) in two phases: (1) sew along all the blue & white hexagons with white thread, and (2) attach the blue hexagons to each other with blue thread. I place a blue hexagon on top of a front-side hexagon (white) with the right sides facing. And then use a whipstitch to attach the blue hexagon to the white hexagon. I pick up another blue hexagon, and do the same. In this way, you'll have a bunch of blue hexagons attached to the white hexagons, but then they won't be connected to each other. Then, I use some blue thread to whipstitch the touching blue edges together, making sure to reinforce the corners where the four hexagons meet.

 

Sometimes I have to take out a hexagon's paper and undo its basting to reshape it to fit its neighbor hexagon. If you're using hand-made hexagon templates, you might have to do the same!

 

It's important to notice that this process is slightly different from piecing a hexagon quilt as you want the blue hexagons to overlap exactly with the white hexagons on which they're placed.

1.Download your lol from ichc

 

a.On www.icanhascheezburger.com go to your lol's page (eg. this one is mine.icanhascheezburger.com/view.aspx?ciid=3948250)

b.Highlight the title of the lol (the text above it) and copy it

(you don't have to do this - I just find it makes it easier to title the lol in flickr – we're doing it here so we can easily use the title as the filename)

c.Right click on the lol pic

d.Choose [Save Image As...] from resulting drop down menu

e.In the Save Image window that pops up, choose the directory on your computer you want to save the lol to

f.Paste the title of the lol in the filename field

g.Click [Save]

h.Repeat for all the lols you want on flickr

i.Your lol is saved on your computer!

 

1a. An alternative way to save your lol

If you've screencapture software (eg. MW Snap) you could capture the lol and details underneath it to fully credit loller and picture - see stilskweekz (peregrin)'s example here.

 

2.Log on to www.flickr.com

 

a.Log on to www.flickr.com (whole other story to join - lemme know if you want a how-to for that!)

 

3.Upload your lol

 

a.There's a series of links at the top of the page - [home] [you] [organise] etc - select [You]

b.Select [Upload Photos and Videos] from the pulldown menu

c.I've had a couple of different pages come up in response but they're all similar

d.This bit should be straightforward, but just in case ... Click on [Choose Photos and Videos]

e.Go to the directory you saved the lol(s) in

f.In the resulting Select Files etc window you can select just one file at a time or, if you've several in the same directory you can select individual ones using [Ctrl] or a block using [Shift] when you click on the lol

g.Click on [Open]

h.Your lol or list of lols should be shown on the flickr page

i.Set the privacy using the toggle buttons

j.Click on [Upload Photos and Videos]

k.You'll now get options to add titles, tags, etc. or you might have to click on a [description] button (it varies when I visit it!)

l.When you're done click the Save button

m.Now your lols are added to flickr!

 

4.Add you lol to a pool

 

a.If you look at the individual lols you've just added (go to [You]/[Your Photostream] and click on the lol) you'll see they have options directly above them - [Add Note] [Send to Group] [Add to Set] etc. Select [Send to Group] and you'll get a pulldown menu of the groups you're a member of.

b.Select the group/pool you want to add your lol to.

c.You're done!

 

If you're going to be uploading a lot of pics onto flickr you might like to try their uploading software – it lets you set up descriptions, titles and tags on your own computer before you upload. I find it very useful. www.flickr.com/photos/upload/basic/

 

Note: you need to be a member of a group/pool to add lols/pics to it.

 

I use the lol title for the flickr title and add 'by muriell' for mine, or credit who did the lol if it wasn't me.

 

Tags: I use 'ichc' for everything from ichc and the name of the loller. If you want to use a tag with more than one word, eg. 'animal rights' you need to put quotes around it. Tags make it easier for other people to find pics they're interested in so it's good manners to add tags.

 

Description: I try and credit whoever took or uploaded the picture in the description - apart from that it's up to you!

 

Think that's it. Please feel free to add any clarfications - or ask for them - below.

 

Hope this halps!!

Kthxbye.

Fold the paper and trace the bottom half of the hexagon template along the fold, as shown. Be sure the two side points line up with the fold.

Step 1: Choose a small pot with a fitting lid and place on the stove top.

Step 2: Place 1 Cup of Rice in the pot.

Step 3: Add 1/2 teaspoon of Salt.

Step 4: Place 2 Cups of Water in the pot.

Step 5: Turn burner onto highest setting.

Step 6: Bring to a boil.

Step 7: Boil Rice for about 5 minutes, or until the water has reduced and there are only small foaming bubbles on the top of the Rice.

Step 8: Reduce heat to low and cover the pot with a lid.

Step 9: After about 5 minutes of cooking, lift lid to check. You should not hear any frying or crackling noises. If you do, add about 2 Tablespoons of water.

Step 10: To check the status of the Rice, instert a spoon until it touches the bottom of the pot.

Step 11: Pull out the spoon, some rice will stick to it, and taste the rice. Depending on the type of rice (long grain, short grain, bastmati, etc.), the rice will either be half way done or only a few minutes away from completion.

Step 12: Re-cover the pot and check every 2-4 minutes for desired done-ness. The Rice should cook on low for 7-15 minutes total depending onthe type of Rice you are cooking.

Step 13: Repeat steps 10 and 11 to check for done-ness. The longer you let the Rice cook, the stickier it should get.

Step 14: Fluff the Rice by stiring it with a spoon. The Rice can be eaten right away or be incorporated into another dish.

 

This recipe makes 3 1-Cup Servings.

Tap a sharp knife firmly, once, right into the pit, and twist it out. Avo must be ripe for this to work.

Cut the paper hexagons along the lines that you drew, as shown.

Last time I used white paper on the left and right of the glass. The rims get their lights from the left and right as the background and the paper on the left and right are not entirely together.

Now you can flip the blue hexagons right-side-out, so they fold underneath the quilt top and over the batting and backing.

Framed out the base with 2x8's added a couple braces for good measure.

Not wanting to spend money on soil I filled the interior with turf scraped from an extension to the vegetable garden. I filled the top few inches with good garden soil. I covered the exposed stone with more turf.

Cut little diamonds out of the center of the paper hexagons. You'll need to place a pin through the holes, but don't make the diamonds too large.

 

Keep making more paper hexagons by following steps 2-5. You can always make more if you run out.

This series of images will guide you through modifying an HS-311 servo to give continuous rotation in either direction, with a degree of speed control.

The modification is non-reversible, but these servos are cheap as chips so this shouldn't be a big worry.

Connect the servo to your microcontroller (here an Arduino) and tell it to move to position 0 (i.e., a pulse width of 1500µs). The gears should start spinning, unless it was previously at 0.

Now superglue the tab in place. Use lots of superglue! This is the second non-reversible step. If you accidentally move the tab a bit, you should still be able to fix it. If not, don't panic, you can fix it in software later.

Using tweezers, move the potentiometer tab until the gears completely stop moving. Be as accurate as possible, though you can compensate for it not being dead centre in software later.

well not really, i sure know the F-16 much, MUCH better than this stuff!

i scored some really old equipment (oscilloscope and pulse generator), but i have no idea how to use it. cant even produce a sine wave as-is. :(

any ideas are welcome, of course.

 

well, at least those things smell strongly of electronics when in operation. so yeah, i think i'll just go to sleep while smelling their scent of nerdyness for now. =)

 

ps: will reply to other stuff in the next few days.
