slworking: Slacking While Working


Post of picture of yourself or a coworker slacking (feet up on your desk, sleeping, napping, etc.), goofing off, playing video games, bored, hardly working, etc. while at work.

Peach Black Tea and Nerds

Sunday night… 3rd floor of Novell Technical Services building… Only living thing in the building… Wow. I haven’t had a call in nearly 3 hours. This job is everything I expected and more. Gives me time to work on my certifications. I guess…

My thoughts at the moment:

Why would you call for technical support before consulting Google?
Why the hell would you pay $650 for technical support?
Does every plant in the (Salvia SP.) genus have psychoactive properties?

Holy HDR in Linux!

Looking for HDR capability in Ubuntu? This tutorial will allow you to install qtpfsgui an open source GUI for creating HDR images under Linux.

For Ubuntu:

First we need to add the following lines (depending upon your version of Ubuntu) to the bottom of the file: /etc/apt/sources.list

This can be done with the command:

  • sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list


For Ubuntu Dapper Drake (6.04):

deb. http://ubuntu.davromaniak.eu dapper-depomaniak all
deb.-src http://ubuntu.davromaniak.eu dapper-depomaniak all

For Ubuntu Edgy Eft (6.10):

deb. http://ubuntu.davromaniak.eu edgy-depomaniak all
deb.-src http://ubuntu.davromaniak.eu edgy-depomaniak all

For Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.04):

deb. http://ubuntu.davromaniak.eu feisty-depomaniak all
deb.-src http://ubuntu.davromaniak.eu feisty-depomaniak all

Now to add the key to gain access to the download do this command:

  • wget http://ubuntu.davromaniak.eu/1D59E694.gpg – O | sudo apt-key add -


Then update your sources list:

  • sudo apt-get update

And to install the program:

  • sudo apt-get install qtpfsgui


For other flavors of linux:

get the dependencies:

  • sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev libexiv2-dev fftw3-dev openexr pkg-config build-essential libtiff-dev libopenexr-dev


Now download the source and compile:
