Tilt Shifted Fake Miniatures

After my first trials with fake tilt shifting with tiltshiftmaker.com and GIMP, and the second post with my Toronto trip pictures miniaturized, this is the third set of images that have qualified to be miniaturized via fake tilt shift effect.

Granular Linux

Granular has been my first successful tryst with KDE and E17. I have never been a fan of KDE and really didn’t like it this time either. Enlightenment is a different story altogether. It is slick and light and just so different that you actually feel that you are using a different OS. Although there [...]

Kerela Trip to Kovalam

• Linux Mint 7 (Gloria) is out. I have yet to try it out as mintUpdate seems to think that my system is up to date. The forums are abuzz with people who seem to be having the same issue. I think that upgrade method from Felicia to Gloria is not up yet. Probably that's why I am not able to upgrade. I might even download the CD to do it. I really can't wait! Comment
