Seems a relatively innocent post or two on my part sparked quite abit of conversation here yesterday! - oops :) Anyway, still very busy...
With your members area password, you might like to put this in the Members Register - you can read other people's info as well.
I guess i'll put something inthere when i've decided what i'm interested in getting involved in (if anything). Most importantly, i'll lurk for a while and see if there's anything on the go that interests me that i CAN asssit in. Maybe not but you never know :)
So, what do i do? Mainly image conversion. Taking raw input data streams,imagemagick type stuff?
I don't know since i don't know imagemagick!! I think i downloaded some IM libraries once (excepting those that may already have been installed on linux distros i've tried). One of the things i tend to hit, which i did on my current project is "proof of originality". Often, even if libraries already exist to do something it is easier to write something from scratch than to get the corporate wheels to approve the use of said third party library. Looking through the current legal contract of work it was even more true if the libraries were open source. Consequently, it's grab a copy of the (for instance) TIFF specification and get coding! An example may be to rattle through the IDT's and image strip's to validate the contents on the fly during the conversion of millions of documents. Unless i'm mistaken, i noticed an entry in the members area that sounded like they did a very similar line of work! Martin. PS: Apologies if the spelling is bad, my vnc connection is really dodgy to this box butsince it will be new install time at the weekend i really can't be bothered to investigate why! -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
