Bookwright software6/22/2023 ![]() In my opinion, an absolute beginner book / photo album maker could learn a lot more by starting out with a far more "let me do a lot of this for you" type of program. He spends a lot of time trying to encourage people who have never made a book before. Since the course goes through all the basic buttons, the course could be useful to an absolute beginner photo album maker, which is what Daniel clearly wants to achieve. Or, you could watch this course, save yourself a lot of time, and get information you didn't even think to ask about. You COULD teach yourself by pressing buttons and searching on-line forums like I did. What the course does do, of course, is explain the Blurb BookWright software. It probably have been useful for people using other programs and/or vendors as well. To do all these things would have required a day-long course rather than an hour-long course, but for me, that course would have been far more helpful. I'd have paid a lot of money to watch him cull photo's for two or three books, listening to his thought process while he chooses which photos to include and which to cry over and then leave out. He doesn't even give tips about what to think about when culling down your own photos. Unfortunately, Daniel doesn't go into how to go about doing so. Secondly: he shows you how to add a background color to your pages, but nothing about when to do that, why to do that, and how to do it well.Ī last example: Daniel's most important advice is to "edit tight" - SUPER important but for me, really difficult. The section on color management is basically "Remember to calibrate your screen and soft proof using an icc profile." If you don't know what either of those mean, this course won't teach you what it is, much less how to do it. ) and how important they are, but don't expect anything but a shout out to help you remember to do it well. It names all the steps (color management, edit, sequence. What the course does not do, however, is teach you how to make a book. As someone who learned Blurb by downloading the program and clicking away (from time to time searching some online forums) these are extremely useful things I wouldn't have known about any other way. ![]() In my case, I learned that Blurb has downloadable icc profiles as well as the ability to make low-res proof pdfs. I definitely learned a couple things, and given that I watched it during a free broadcast, it was totally worth the price of admission (in my case, 60 minutes of my time). It was also helpful to me as someone who has already made a few Blurb books already but wanted to learn to use it better. What I mean is, it is helpful for people who have made books and/or photo albums before and want to learn how to use Blurb. For example, if you design your book with 40 pages and you leave in the logo page you'll pay for 40 pages, not 42.This course is about how to use Blurb, not about how to make a book. However, the logo page doesn't apply towards your page count. You also can't add your own content/design to the logo page. You won't see the logo page when previewing your book since it's added during printing. Layflat Photo Books offer a solid white logo page only. The logo page can be solid white or solid black (your choice) with a blue Blurb logo. You can remove or leave in the logo page when uploading your Photo Book as seen in the screenshot below. How to remove or restore the Blurb logo page The logo page can't be added to those formats. Magazines and Trade Books (including journals and notebooks) made in BookWright automatically have the logo page removed. Only Photo Book formats have the option to remove or leave in the logo page. ![]() Removing the logo page increases the price of the book. The logo page is a solid-color page with the Blurb logo. ![]() If you're creating a Photo Book in Blurb's BookWright software you have the option to remove, or leave in, the Blurb logo page that will appear at the end of your book.

We work on the shared folder, and create a file newfile from within a temporary container. NOTE: if you’re using something like docker on mac, you won’t run into those permission issues, as the file sharing is done through NFS and your local files will have the right user. mount "type=bind,src=$(pwd)/shared,dst=/opt/shared" \ Here is a simple example of creating a new file with wrong permissions: $ docker run -it -rm \ Taking ownership of the files from your shared folder can be done with chown. It’s tedious and there is a better way: read on to learn learn how to build, configure and run your Docker containers correctly, so you don’t have to fight permission errors and access your files easily.įirst, let’s look at a “quick fix” which gets tedious quickly, before introducing better alternatives you want to use instead. ![]() One frequent solution, is to “chown” your shared folder again and again. The file permissions and ownership are all wrong. The user of the container (root in the worst case) is completely different than the one on the host.

Notice that an emulator supporting a graphic subsystem doesn't necessarily mean such an emulator is mature enough for programs that make use of it to work properly. ![]() Specifically, it's possible to install a totally out-of-spec graphic card, such as Nvidia GeForce FX 5700LE on later PC-98 models with PCI bus, but such scenarios are quite obscure and no emulators support such cases. may make use of PEGC due to its similarities with VGA graphics. However, some games do make use of more advanced graphics subsystems, such as some AliceSoft's adult games which support 256 color mode of IO-DATA's GA-1024A, and games originating from IBM PC such as Doom, Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, etc. Most of the games won't require graphics subsystems that are more advanced than EGC, and basically, all emulators have achieved full emulation of EGC, so whether an emulator could emulate more advanced graphic systems doesn't really bug.

Falling hearts generator6/22/2023 ![]() I know about moving too fast when I see/hear it. The singer here could very well be committing to a person they barely know! And believe me, I've been there, done that, in the process of it. For all we know, this person that they will "do anything for" might not even know that they exist. But that could very well be on the borderline or even on the topic of obsession, and it could be a pretty stupid obsession. "Generator" refers to looking after the person they love, taking that person under their wing, supporting them, always being there for them, doing anything for them. This is where it makes me wonder if this song is a secret rock-turned-pop tune, because, like most pop songs that have tarnished our current pithole generation of music, although this song is definitely NOT current, songs like this always talk about the person being loved in terms of "how beautiful they are," "I'd do anything for him/her," and then probably something having to do with eyes or whatever. Bruising egos, I believe, has to do with calling someone out on the way they act.) "I'm the Generator / Firing whenever you quit / Yeah, whatever it is," (aka: the guy will just about anything for the girl, ANYTHING. These lines connect with one person changing, or in the process of reforming to a better person or re-becoming the good person they once were, while the person they like/love still remains the same ego-ballistic human. That make a person seem like they have a "big ego," so to speak. Lines that stick out to me include "Lately I'm getting better / Wish I could stay sick with you / But there's too many egos left to bruise," (aka: these lines use sarcastic metaphorical play it sounds like they're talking about a sickness or disease of some sort, and in a way they are. The subject matter is dancing on the fine line between love and just complete obsession. Of course, any idiot can just take lyrics from any song at all and make it sound like intercourse, but then again that's just their dirty mind doing the talking. If I'm not mistaken, this song is clearly about love.

Salvia hexio6/21/2023 The Chamber of Secrets (Book 2) – This is basically a rehash of Book 1. Suffice to say that there is a lot I can say about this one but the reason it sits at the bottom of my rankings is because it could have been absolutely great as it sits right in between my two favorites, but it was really only “good” and just takes too long to move the plot along. And she doesn’t get killed by the centaurs. Phoenix is too long by about 250 pages, contains the longest consecutive stretch of bad chapters that basically just has Harry getting teen-angsty and unreasonably angry at everyone and living in a miserable flat in a dingy part of London. Order of the Phoenix (Book 5) – This one is the only book that at any point can be accused of dragging (I know people don’t like the camping going down in Hallows, but I’m a big fan of it actually). So, here’s a quick look at my book order from worst to first and basic explanation. She created this entire world and story before she ever knew it was going to be published. The single most amazing thing to me is that she clearly had the complete story outlined prior to writing the first word. All of the books before that just establish the characters and setting. The true story is about Harry and Voldemort and Harry’s mission to destroy Voldemort’s horcruxes. What is this crazy guy talking about? Coming from a guy who could probably win any Harry Potter trivia contest in the world at this point, trust me. She basically used five entire books to familiarize the reader with the wizarding world and the characters involved, in order to tell the true story that really takes place over the final two books. I am continually amazed at the brilliance of Ms. I got so into it and, amazingly, I never got tired of doing it. characters, locations, wizarding items, wizarding terms, even spells). I even catalogued things that were introduced in each chapter (i.e. While mostly based on enjoyment, things like importance to the series and overall story arch gave certain chapters giant bonus points (I’m looking at you Mudbloods and Murmurs). I invented a rating system to judge the overall worth of the chapter. I tried to critically analyze each chapter. Since then, I’ve re-read each book two more times. So I figured, what the heck, it can’t be too long of a project, I’ll just do it myself. I searched and searched, but the internet let me down. I thought it was great really, as I’ve re-read all of them at least 20 times at this point, I think they are all great, but Azkaban doesn’t really approach the top of my list as it does for so many others.Īnyway, I got to thinking that it would be cool to see a list of each individual chapter in the Harry Potter universe ranked from worst to best. I might have been a little older than most people who read the third book for the first time. I thought the first two were a little childish and only pressed on because my girlfriend at the time always wanted to talk about them. I didn’t read the books until I was in college. ![]() While my rankings of the books is slightly different than the author of that particular article, I found it to be enjoyable and interesting, along with, I’m sure, tens of thousands of Harry Potter fanatics the world over.
