Most of the image manipulation guides on internet are made for photoshop so I’m always thrilled to find a interesting guide for GIMP.

From blog of Locutus I found an entry 3D Chuck. The Gimp script way.. I have never even thought of this idea - the guide describes how to turn regular image into 3d-image for viewing with red and green or blue and yellow 3d-glasses.

Not only does it tell how to do it manually but also a script-fu code (script language to add effects, etc. to GIMP) that adds “3D Convert” function under filters menu to automatically do the conversion.

Note that you should read also the comments of the entry to get the script function correctly as there are some problems with entering code in blog of locutus and comments provide some minor corrections to code and how to get it show on GIMP.

I have no glasses to try and test this stuff but I thought it might interest people :)

Checking, with WordPress.com Stats, for search terms had led people here (always interesting) one search was “freebsd daemon wallpapers“. Obviously it led to my earlier post, Linux vs. Windows wallpapers, with image featuring Tux and BSD daemon.

This made me look for BSD wallpapers so that in future people ending here for BSD images will find what they were looking for. So for more of these BSD images head to FreeBSD Image Gallery - Ultimate FreeBSD and BSD image collection.

A second site for good BSD images is BSDnexus. That second image on right is from there.

In the end, despite the lower image glorifying BSD even over Tux/Linux I shall make it clear that I do have a huge respect for BSD (and like the maskot) but for me, if I have to choose, Linux wins hands down. And please, no comment war on this. Civilized comments are ok, even wished. In the end it’s just matter of personal preferences and BSD does rock.

On the right is one of the wallpapers I found on Bablotech blogs article 12 Wallpapers in which linux criticizes windows. While I personally have little use for wallpapers, beeing user of Ion3 Window manager, I know that many visitors here might find these amusing :)
