  • Demotivational Picture Generator

    • Author: DigitalMind

    • Date: Dec 12,2008

    As most of you already know, I have another very popular website called demotivationalpics.com.  I took over this site when it had under 200 demotivational pictures, and it now has well over 2000. I now get over 20,000 page loads every day.

    I have spent the last 3 days installing imagemagick on the server hosting this site,  and learning how to write bash scripts, so that I can come up with this :  A demotivational (or motivational if you are so inclined) picture generator !

    Basically, you upload a picture, insert a title and description, and the website will generate your very own de-motivational poster ! It still has a few bugs, but it’s basically operational ! Try it out by clicking here !!

    I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the makers of imagemagick for this amazing image manipulation software that can work entirely from the command line !  I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time but never could until I discovered imagemagick.  It’s really not easy to use, but it works!

  • Samsung Jack Cell phone review

    After a year of using a cell phone that hangs up on half the people that call me, my cell phone contract has finally expired and it’s time to get a new phone at a huge discount.

    My Cell phone carrier, Fido, has never sold blackberry services. (Which is strange because they’re owned by Rogers who was the first to offer blackberry service here in Montreal) I’m an email addict and this has been a pain.  About 6 months ago they finally offered a service like the blackberry, (Called blackberry connect) but was only supported on a specific Nokia brand telephone.  (Although lots of people have been successfully able to use the fake fido blackberry service with unlocked blackberries)

    After a visit to the nearest Fido Store in downtown Montreal, I’ve discovered that things have finally changed! (Fido used to have a very easy to use website with all the information that is needed, now they’ve completely changed it and I can’t find anything I wanted on it.  So I had to go in person. Fido, if you’re reading this, what were you thinking?!)

    Despite their now crappy website, I’m a big fan of Fido.  They give good service and have affordable prices.  I was happy to hear they now supported the 3G Wireless High speed Network.  They had 2 phones that I could see myself using.   The Iphone, and the Samsung Jack. (Also knows as the Samsung Blackjack 2, or the Samsung i616)
