In addition to the extensions that use XCF format, GIMP is one of the open source software that can be used in a variety of operating systems and FREE. With open source license, making GIMP has many useful plugins, one of which is the Save for Web.

save as for web

Save for web plugin is used to reduce the size of an image with a reduction image quality. No need to worry about the origin of the image is not visible compression rate is not high, if the high compression rate of the image will be visible rupture / boxes. There are at least three ways you can do to reduce the size of images with this plugin. Here are 3 ways.

Changing Extension / Format Picture, commonly used to compress images of various formats such as PNG, BMP, etc. image formats with a smaller size such as jpeg, or gif PNG8. Indirectly it also affects the quality of the image.

Reducing the image quality, the smaller the image quality size small anyway. However, the compressed image will be broken and the boxes appear, default compression quality is 85%. The greater the value of smoothing will make the image some blur, so it is not recommended if the image contains a lot of text.

reduce image quality

Resize the image, is the safest way to reduce the size of the image. By reducing the image resolution, image dimensions will be smaller but the picture quality is not diminished. I always use this feature before uploading to the website. Because the website does not require great resolution. The important thing is legible enough.

For some people the size of the image file is trivial. Though sebenaranya this is important, because it affects the speed of access to the site. If only one or two pictures does not matter, but if you have dozens? Pretty damning is not it? Especially if uploadnya in hosting your own blog with a certain quota could cepet full disc. Although trivial but very useful, both for owners and visitors. So do not be surprised if that's a little tough to have a visit, because both know is how the internet connection in Indonesia, up and down: D

This plugin is intended for the web, as the name suggests. So that we do not need to stay long upload an image: D. For Ubuntu users, to get it simply by typing

sudo apt-get install gimp-plugin-registry 

the terminal. It could also open the Synaptic Package Manager / Ubuntu Software Center. For other operation system please visit Gimp Plugin Registry. I think this tool is a must for a blogger / web developer

We still need Microsoft Fonts like Times New Roman, Arial, and others in Ubuntu. Usually the font is used by some applications that Ubuntu still has nothing to do with windows like Wine. It is also used to display fonts are generally used in websites and documents. So even though the use of Ubuntu, we still need to install the font known as package-installer ttf-mscorefonts.

Ubuntu is one of many Linux-based operating system, and I've used it about 3 years. Its growth is so fast. Releases twice a year, with the 04 code for April release  and 10 for a release in October. Currently, the latest version is 12.10, 13.04 version will be released next month. There are so many changes in terms of both appearance to its features with first Ubuntu that i use.

The many changes in Ubuntu, sometimes I prefer to use the old features than the new. Maybe not only me feel this. I want to share the old features that I use on Ubuntu 12.04, its Synaptic Package Manager & Gdebi Package Manager.

Ubuntu Software Center

Ubuntu software center is an application that contains a list of applications that can be installed on Ubuntu. So we do not need to look at the website to get the Ubuntu applications. Even so, sometimes the applications in Ubuntu Software Center is an application obsolete. Like Blender. Release version on the official website is version 2.66, but in the new Ubuntu Software Center version 2.62. Applications in Ubuntu Software Center not too update on applications that are not built in during installation. So we need a ppa of the software to get aplication up to date.

Ubuntu Software Center

Ubuntu Software center more attractive than its predecessor the Synaptic Package Manager. It comes with the software and the ease of navigation icons by software category. In addition the software has paid too, so we can simply buy applications and content using the Ubuntu Software Center.

With a better GUI, we can easily search for software by category. Unlike its predecessor which is less user friendly for the search software, especially for new users.

It is advisable not to install a lot of software using the Ubuntu Software Center, a growing number of waiting lists in the install process will make this application freez and not responding. It could be that the installation is not finished making us to reinstall the applications installed package as damaged.

Ubuntu Software Center also replace the function of GDebi Package Installer. An application that used view and install ubuntu software that uses *. deb. With a double click on the file to deb format, by default Ubuntu Software Center will execute a long load time.

Synaptic Package Manager

It is the predecessor of the Ubuntu Software Center application that is less attractive. Contains a list of applications in the form of text with no pictures icon application, but it is also a lot of scattered library when we search an application. It's enough to make me confused when first using Ubuntu Karmic Koala.

Synaptic Package Manager

However, with this application I could know more about the applications and libraries for the application I was looking for. Not infrequently I find an application that is worth trying. Unlike the Ubuntu Software Center crashes when creating a waiting list for many applications install. With the synaptic package manager I have never experienced freez when install a lot of software at once. So that could be left out rather than wait for the download + install blank finish: D.

GDebi Package Installer

A simple application that works without a lot of the menu to see the package and install / install the application. Simple and fast, the word can represent GDebi. No need to wait long to install as it does in Ubuntu Software Center.

GDebi Package Installer

Therefore, until now I prefer to use the Synaptic Package Manager and Package Installer GDebi than the Ubuntu Software Center. Simple and fast. Everyone has its own experience with it. Apart from that, I'm sure the Ubuntu development team under Canonical will make Ubuntu better. So make make your Ubuntu machine comfortable to use.

CUDA™ is a parallel computing platform and programming model invented by NVIDIA. It enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU). Before we using GPU, we need to install CUDA Toolkit if you are using NVIDA card. I am using NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M with Ubuntu 12.04
