Posted in Food! on January 29th, 2010 by pronto – Be the first to comment

So I’m hosting my friends cooking blog , and have decided to make a food post of my own! :D

this is how i make my roast beef sandwich
what you need is:

  • thinly sliced Roast beef (any kind you like)
  • Cheese (what ever you like, i used provolone)
  • bread (rolls, sliced, what ever you want)
  • heating element, i used a stove top
Stage one, gathering

Stage one, gathering

what you wanna do is put down a layer or two of roast beef, tear up cheese if you want, i dont think it makes much of a difference
do roast beef, cheese, roast beef, cheese   layers a few times

Stage two, layering

Stage two, layering

Stage two cont'd, layers!

Stage two cont'd, layers!

more layers! >:O

more layers! >:O

Then put it on the heating element! :D

heat it up!

heat it up!

Then after a bit fold it, and flip it a few times till cheese is melted :D

fold and flip

fold and flip

And once its all done, its nom nom time! n_n

nom nom!

nom nom!

:D

So, I was bored sitting at the computer and decided to fuck around in gimp not expecting to make anything all that good, what I came up with is:


Black Red sun thing by ~pronto185 on deviantART

Here’s how I kinda did it:

1) open gimp and a fresh can of Mt. Dew…mmmmm(or what ever…)
2) Make a black BG with  color brush strokes (i used red,…if you couldn’t tell O_o)

bleep

heh

3) Then use the smudge tool thingy and smudge that fucker till no tomorrow(maybe adding more, and larger brush strokes):

twoish

something like that or so

3)  Create a new layer >:O  (layer fill type: trans)
4) add a super nova thingy   (Filters> Line and Shadow > Super nova
I used 1024 spokes and red, use what ever you want . i also smudged the BG more to make it a bit darker in places

step three

this ^_^

5) Add a new layer and full with a grain pattern, i used the pattern from here, http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Film_Grain/
set that layer Mode to “Grain merge”

grain!

5) Then play with the Filters >Artistic > Cubism :s

cubes :o

6) Then play around with: Filters > Distorts > iwarp
and then maybe do the Cubism again?  play with it till you like ^_^

mine

this :S

7) then do Filters > Noise > Pick   , with Random seed,  randomization at  100% and repeat at 100%

yep

yppers

yeah, something like that   ^_^

>:O

Theme SimpleX Edit

Posted in php, wordpress on December 16th, 2009 by pronto – Be the first to comment

So the theme I use, SimpleX didn’t have comments enabled for wordpress pages, only the posts
to fix this…

under Appearance>Editor on Page Template (page.php) you need to find this line:

Under that line add this (which I grabbed from: Single Post (single.php))

			<small>
		This entry was posted
		post_date) - (60*120)); echo time_since($entry_datetime); echo ' ago'; */ ?&gt;

		 comment_status) &amp;&amp; ('open' == $post-&gt;ping_status)) {
			// Both Comments and Pings are open ?&gt;
			You can <a href="#respond">leave a response</a>, or <a rel="trackback" href="&lt;?php trackback_url(); ?&gt;">trackback</a> from your own site.
 
		 comment_status) &amp;&amp; ('open' == $post-&gt;ping_status)) {
			// Only Pings are Open ?&gt;
			Responses are currently closed, but you can <a rel="trackback" href="&lt;?php trackback_url(); ?&gt; ">trackback</a> from your own site.
 
		 comment_status) &amp;&amp; !('open' == $post-&gt;ping_status)) {
			// Comments are open, Pings are not ?&gt;
			You can skip to the end and leave a response. Pinging is currently not allowed.
 
		 comment_status) &amp;&amp; !('open' == $post-&gt;ping_status)) {
			// Neither Comments, nor Pings are open ?&gt;
			Both comments and pings are currently closed.
