I need your help
So I want to increase the size of the comic on this site now that there is no more members area. That means:
1) Going through the raw files and reszied them for the new website size.
2) Censor member’s comic when the raw files have been lost to hard drive crashes (this happend to a large number of them that is why there is no Exiern book 2)
3) Edit the comics so that there are no more spelling error.
This is all a lot of work that I just don’t have time to do. So I am asking if any fan would want to take some of or all of this project on. It would help out the comic immensely.
If you are interested in helping drop me a line at drowemos@yahoo.com.
Be happy to help with spelling. I’ll probably occasionally need to ask quesstions about your intent since mistakes can sometimes imply different meanings. I suppose you can get the e-mail from the posting, right?
you know me, Drow. I am down to help as always
I am up for whatever I can do.
The size conversions can be done in a batch on the command line with ImageMagick:
convert comic.gif -resize 1024×768 resized_comic.gif
I don’t get point two. Why do you need to censor at all. Some consider censorship to be bad, others that it is intrinsically evil.
Have you gotten everything covered already Drowemos?
As for Charity. The only one i give to is Saint Judes children hospital. Can also try the Make a wish foundation.
I could probably help you streamline the resize process. It’s a repetitive process, why not make the computer do it all for you and work on less drone-like things?
If the original files are all the same size, and the destination sizes are also the same (or at least a fixed proportion of the original size), a free (PC only) photo viewer/editor called IrfanView can batch-process resizing and other photo tasks. Check irfanview dotcom for more details. I can probably find some time for that myself, or any of the other editing tasks you mention.
