GIMP tutorials
by Anand 04 Sep '01

04 Sep '01

Hello List members, I am happy to tell you that the first set of GIMP tutorials named GIMP-Jr.K.G is ready. This set is meant for absolute beginners. The next set of tutorials is also being formed. The effects that these tutorials have given are very-very encouraging.* GIMP-JR.K.G.* This set of tutorials gives information on how to use the basic tools available with GIMP. Usage of Rectangular selection, Fuzzy Selection, Blend, Fill, pattern fill and other such tools are covered. Usage of Some Filters and Script-Fu's are also covered. Creating your own brush and patterns is also dealt with. This is a set of ten tutorials where each and every step has been covered and allows even beginners to easily use the GIMP software. Total size :45 MB. * Karnala-GIMP* (partially over, text formatting, tutorial checks under progress.) Did you know that using simple Script-Fu's of GIMP, you can make more than a billion different web themes!!! This second set of tutorials focuses on how the tools available with GIMP can be used to make powerful web themes in a short span of time. Some 25 exclusive, photographs of Karnala, Monkeys and karnala surroundings, form the base of the presentation tutorials. Topics covered include: Easy creation of several types of custom buttons, headers, banners, arrows and bullets. Easy creation of Image maps using the ImageMap filter. Making custom buttons. Web Presentations. Complete set of HTML and JavaScript codes used in the pages of the tutorials. Total Size 68 MB. Time taken for these tutorials are around three months in total. Plus some expenses, have been incurred. I am looking for some compensation for these tutorials so that I end up at least in a no-loss/no-profit situation. I doubt weather magazines may be interested in publishing tutorials for a non-commercial software like GIMP. Anyway, I plan to approach them. Any other ideas are also welcome. Anand

RE: [ILUG-BOM] [OT] advice on graphics hardware
by shailesh bhate 03 Sep '01

Hi! Why not use GeForceIII or other such card? I heard somewhere that Matrox is slowly losing in competition and performance as well. I use a RivaTNT2 card and it has good performance, but I don't think it will satisfy the need for very high end graphics that you are looking for. Also, why are you going in for a branded PC? Try assembling your own PC. Its fun to build them and its very cheap as compared to branded ones. Also, try going in for a very good Motherboard too. FSB matters a lot. I would personally recommend an ASUS board. I myself use this board. A real performer. Alternatively, since you are putting in so much money, why not put some more and go for an SGI (Silicon Graphics) workstation? It rocks!

Perl for beginers?
by Nikhil Karkera 03 Sep '01

03 Sep '01

Hi, Are there any good books on Perl for beginers? Online sources prefered. I'm already reading through the man pages. Also, I write my Perl programs in pico and run them from the shell prompt. Any better way to do this? I would prefer working on console and not on X. Still, please suggest X utilities also, if any. Many thanks, Nikhil.
