Exch 1.4.0 Submitted
The last submission I made to the Firefox Add-ons site for Exch was for Firefox 3.0 beta 4 compatibility… and it was still waiting on getting approved. So I deleted the files for the stale versions, updated Exch for Firefox 3.0 compatibility, and submitted this new version.
Hopefully it can get approved soon. I tested functionality on Ubuntu 8.04/Firefox 3 and on Windows XP Home/Firefox 3. It works as expected.
Changelog:
Minor update for 3.0 compatibility.
ImageMagick Magic!
I enjoy using ImageMagick… most of it has been via PHP CLI, however here we have a short example in Bash:
for file in `ls -d *.png` ; do
convert -crop 1280X985+0+24 $file $(basename $file .png).jpg;
done
Basically this does the following:
- Makes a listing of all .png files in the current directory
- Runs the “convert” command (part of ImageMagick) on each .png file in that listing
- Crops the image specified by the geometry arguments
- Saves each image as a .jpg

Adobe Buzzword HTML Export
So I tried Adobe Buzzword today… It flagged all of my “online” words as misspelled, except for the first which I changed to “on-line” to test… It wouldn’t allow an import or export of .odt files, and the zipped HTML export seemed quite plain, though I didn’t push it. I wonder how it would have handled images and position? And what is Aspose.Words for .NET?
Here’s the short source:
