Fun! Thank you for this.

I just wanted to watch this fullscreen so, here is a simple oneliner to do that with mplayer from the CLI.

Do we know where approx. that dive location is?

Bjoernon Skrollr - parallax scrolling for the masses

Thanks for open sourcing this! Really appreciate the effort that went into this.

Just curious though, I'm wondering from a usability viewpoint. Is this a good thing to have on a website? Are there cases where it helps to present the content in a better fashion than without?

Thanks!

Bjoernon Amazon's full size PDF reader, the Kindle DX, is back

Probably a bad idea if you want to take notes or quickly skim through content. Pretty good though if you want to read from cover to cover without making to much fuzz with notes etc.

Bjoernon Amazon's full size PDF reader, the Kindle DX, is back

Ok, you got me I live under a rock. I wasn't even aware it was "gone". Did they stop selling this temporarily?

Bjoernon If Only 3D Animation Were This Easy [video]

I love this. Can anyone recommend me a good blender tutorial? From very basics to character rigging and the more advanced stuff? Also going into scripting?

This is yet another reason on my list why I welcome WebRTC so that we can get rid of problems like this.

Bjoernon Show HN: Remove backgrounds from images online

I think you guys did a great job. This is a very tough problem (speaking from experience) particularly depending on the complexity of the image. One problem we had to solve along the way for our startup is similar, but focused only on fashion related images. Quite tricky particularly if you want something automatic. Anyway cheers! :)

Bjoernon Show HN: Remove backgrounds from images online

Like the interface! :)

There are many ways to solve such a problem. Another one beside GrabCub would be e.g. Watershed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GrabCut

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watershed_%28image_processing%2...

So many variations available via e.g. OpenCV.

Bjoernon Twitter RSS

Thanks for the links! Very sad to see the ongoing destruction of the openness and usefulness of Twitter.

Bjoernon Twitter RSS

Just was digging through API v1.1 seems that there is a way to get a JSON (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/user.json) but that needs authentication apparently.

Bjoernon Twitter RSS

Thanks for pushing out such a site, really interesting and useful.

Couple of things,

- Seems you are violating their TOS https://twitter.com/logo#naming

> In March 2013 Twitter will shut down the RSS feed - that's > a fact! - and reason why we created this free RSS service.

- As of April 13 (today), it seems RSS is still working on the Twitter API, https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_...

- Finding something on Twitter and RSS/ATOM shutdown despite searching for some time yielded nothing.
