My Completely Unscientific GitHub Survey
→: My Completely Unscientific GitHub SurveyI was a software engineer without a GitHub account. I know, shocking, because everyone is supposed to have one – and actually the reason why I had to get resulted in me receiving a set of questions which assumed I would have a GitHub account, but Twitter account was optional. I didn’t have a GitHub…

Process, and Culture
→: Process, and CultureAs an individual, I have habits, and I have processes. The processes are things that aren’t quite natural enough to be habits, yet. I think process helps me create a framework that helps me be effective – at work, and in life. For example, having a schedule for my blog. Posting something on Monday, Wednesday and Friday…

Emotional Women Have Context
→: Emotional Women Have ContextDo you remember the thing at Pycon, earlier this year? I’m not going to write specifically what, because I don’t want to linkbait. But if you are on Twitter and follow any technical women… I’m sure you saw it. It seemed like in the end, the consensus on the Internet (which I do not agree…

Getting Started with the Raspberry Pi
→: Getting Started with the Raspberry PiI lucked out in being in town when the Women Powering Technology Raspberry Pi event was on, and also in hearing about it – and being allowed in at the last minute! Of course I had heard about the Raspberry Pi, and loved the idea, but I’m pretty intimidated by hardware and cables, so it…

My Inspiration App: App Concept
→: My Inspiration App: App ConceptMy app idea – a place to collect things that inspire, that can be found searching their tags, location, or type. I understand that people can and do use any number of other apps for this – Twitter favourites, for example, this is just supposed to be a purely happy and motivating place on our…

Getting Set Up on Android
→: Getting Set Up on AndroidI used the event Programming Languages I’ve Been Meaning To Try But Haven’t Gotten Around To Yet at the Stripe offices (organised by Star Simpson) in San Francisco to get going on Android. Aside – I love the concept of this event. Great opportunity to hang out with your laptop, the only goal being to suck…

More Experiments Around RGB Averaging
→: More Experiments Around RGB AveragingI decided to replicate the showing/hiding the dominant hues in images with showing/hiding around the average RGB values instead. I created a class called RGBColor (just holds red, green, and blue values), similar to the one I created called HSBColor. I could have used the java.awt.Color class, but that insists on a range of 0-1…

Eliminating the Dominant Hue from an Image
→: Eliminating the Dominant Hue from an ImageI thought it would be interesting to invert the idea of showing only the dominant hue, and show everything but that instead. I used the exact same code, but inverted the if statement so: if (!hueInRange(hue, lower, upper)) became if (hueInRange(hue, lower, upper)) Effect is as follows, as with most of these, my favourite effect…

Folders of Images, Compare and Contrast
→: Folders of Images, Compare and ContrastNow I’ve experimented with things, I wanted to make something that would allow me to compare different effects on the same photo, and loop through a folder of pictures looking for nice effects. I overrode mousePressed() to change the image on click. The big challenge here was running out of Java Heap space once I…
