IHeartNerds

June 24, 2001 by Eric Richardson

Ummm... So some "girl" has been blatently plagarizing stuff off my site and posting it on this teen diary site under the alias IHeartNerds. While I'm amused by this (especially the masterful merging of stuff from all over my site in this entry), I think I just find this rather odd.

In my last camera related post before I actually get something working, I can finally say I've had some progress. I mostly figured out the Video::Capture::V4l stuff, and now have a script that grabs the raw BGR data from there and writes out a PPM file (because it's the simplest image format I could find). Now I just need to get Imlib2_perl to support Imlib2::create_image_from_data so I can do the rest of my fun without ever having the image leave memory.

So I've spent time yesterday and today playing with images. Much fun... Yesterday I learned bitwise operators, today I learned the composition of 15, 16, and 24 bit images. Now I just have to figure out how to convert a raw RGB image into a JPEG.
