[00:37:41] <Bytram> Huh! Could have sworn I was spacing them at 2h37m. but looks fine, now. Thanks for checking!
[00:38:28] <Bytram> Oh, wait... Looks like Fnord666 2nded them; maybe he fixed them up while he was at it?
[00:40:17] * Bytram really wishes we had a Δt column in the story list page
[00:41:13] <Fnord666> I may have tweaked the times a bit
[00:41:49] <Fnord666> I didn't know we had moved to 2h37m
[00:42:03] <Fnord666> I've been using 2h21m or 2h27m
[00:42:23] <Fnord666> I can respace them if desired
[00:42:35] <Fnord666> BTW good evening all!
[00:49:20] <chromas> ~g'day Fnord666
[00:49:26] <chromas> =g'day Fnord666
[00:49:26] * upstart somewhat shamefully crams a briefcase of cents into Fnord666
[00:50:02] <Fnord666> !gday Bytram
[00:50:09] <Fnord666> ~gday Bytram
[00:50:19] <Fnord666> somebody moved my keys!
[00:50:22] <Bytram> ~gday Fnord666
[00:50:49] <Fnord666> bot down!
[00:50:49] <Bytram> Looks like exec has gone napping again. :P
[00:50:55] <Fnord666> #smake exec
[00:50:55] * MrPlow smakes exec upside the head with a one-sided die
[00:51:01] <Bytram> ninja'd!
[00:51:22] <Bytram> thank you so much for all the stories you have posted lately!
[00:52:02] <Bytram> I was running into a busy time here, and looking at the story queue and seeing that you had already queued things up until morning EDT took a huge load off my mind!
[00:52:05] <Fnord666> The same to you! You got on a roll Friday
[00:52:16] <Bytram> mare sea!
[00:52:32] * Bytram wonders if that was a bulkie or sesame?
[00:52:35] <Bytram> ;)
[00:53:08] <Fnord666> lol
[00:53:14] <Bytram> oh, did you reschedule the last few stories I pushed out? I think I was doing the wrong math!
[00:53:32] <Bytram> not so easy pushing out stories on my android
[00:54:41] <Bytram> If you did, many many thanks!!
[00:55:58] <Fnord666> I did tweak the timing a bit but if we shifted the timing interval on weekends I apologize
[00:56:11] <Bytram> thanks!
[00:56:49] <Bytram> I think I mis-remembered and spaced 'em 2h37m-sh when it should have been 2h21m-ish
[00:57:02] <Bytram> when I got home and looked, saw they were correct.
[00:57:19] <Bytram> started to wonder if I was losing my mind, but now see you were saving it!
[00:57:26] <Bytram> Fnord666++ thankee
[00:57:27] <Bender> karma - fnord666: 73
[00:58:06] <Fnord666> no problem.
[00:58:38] <Fnord666> I'm impressed you can do anything at all on mobile
[00:58:42] <Fnord666> for the site
[00:58:49] <Fnord666> especially editing
[00:58:51] <Bytram> tenacity++
[00:58:51] <Bender> karma - tenacity: 1
[00:59:11] <Bytram> btw, that comes right after nine-acity, don't ya know!
[00:59:37] <Fnord666> :)
[00:59:45] <Bytram> :chuckles:
[01:00:31] <Fnord666> busy day today?
[01:00:56] * Bytram has about 5 dozen .jpeg files and is looking for a way to shrink 'em by about 50% on each side... looks into his image toolbox and it looks like I need quite a pipeline, but it is do-able.
[01:01:05] <Bytram> not really
[01:01:26] <Bytram> had thursday off, worked friday, and had today off, and just realized I have tomorrow off, too.
[01:01:56] <Fnord666> a whole weekend? Nice!
[01:02:06] <Bytram> have caught up on my sleep, made 3 gallons of stew with a big ham, potatoes, carrots, onions, met with some friends, and took a nap
[01:03:51] <Fnord666> Now that's my kind of productive day
[01:04:04] <Bytram> hmnm, this might work...
[01:04:41] <Bytram> jpeg2ktopam.exe foo.jpg | pamscale.exe (params) | pamtojpeg2k.exe > foo2.jpeg
[01:06:56] <Fnord666> interesting. you can't scale a jpg directly?
[01:08:27] <chromas> or use imagemagick's convert
[01:08:30] <Bytram> jpeg2ktopam.exe foo.jpg | pamscale.exe .5 | pamtojpeg2k.exe > foo2.jpeg
[01:08:47] <Bytram> nothing that I have can directly resize a jpeg
[01:10:20] <Bytram> ugh "Input is not JPEG-2000 code stream"
[01:11:02] <Bytram> let's try: jpegtopnm.exe
[01:19:14] <Bytram> chromas: does imagemagick have a command-line tool that can shrink a jpeg by, say, 50% on both X and Y?
[01:19:49] <chromas> it does
[01:20:37] <chromas> I think "convert" is the main tool of the package and it takes all kinds of images as input and can also output them. You can resize, crop, add text and all kinds of crap
[01:21:09] <Bytram> kewel
[01:21:12] <chromas> https://linux.die.net
[01:21:13] <upstart> ^ 03convert(1) - Linux man page
[01:21:25] <Bytram> just have to be careful that I don't accidentally invoke the windows convert command
[01:21:40] <Bytram> Converts a FAT volume to NTFS.
[01:21:40] <Bytram> CONVERT volume /FS:NTFS [/V] [/CvtArea:filename] [/NoSecurity] [/X]
[01:21:46] <Bytram> =)
[01:22:07] <chromas> they should've caled it fsconvert or something
[01:22:21] <chromas> micosoft--
[01:22:21] <Bender> karma - micosoft: -1
[01:22:24] <Bytram> okay, gonna prolly need a new download before I try that. Latest I have downloaded is: v7.0.5.3
[01:22:33] * chromas installs linux onto Bytram's martyBox
[01:22:43] * Bytram wishes
[01:22:59] <Bytram> is a long story, but I *am* trying to get there!
[01:23:05] <Bytram> break time
[01:23:06] <Fnord666> microsoft--
[01:23:06] <Bender> karma - microsoft: -1
[01:23:21] <Fnord666> that number should be way smaller
[01:24:06] <Bytram> looks like I am not *that* far out of date: The current release is ImageMagick 7.0.8-45.

[01:29:55] <Fnord666> wow cygwin is still back on 6.9.something

[01:35:54] <Bytram> https://imagemagick.org
[01:38:40] <Bytram> this may take a while
[01:39:03] <Bytram> d/l complete
[01:42:40] <Bytram> it wants to install ffmpeg, but I already have it installed as part of support for some other program (of course I can't recall which one)... do I feel lucky?
[01:43:34] * Bytram ponders
[01:45:38] * Bytram decides to take a chance
[01:56:02] <Bytram> puts image magick at tail end (last) part of his path; can always explicitly refer to a tool with an explicit path, but this will save me from having IM mess up currently-working tools.
