Please don't take anything above seriously, just for fun and they may not all be true.

I found myself of real case scenario when I saw Shit Girls Say in YouTube Recommendations.

I saw there were a lot of parody of that video, they reminded me of this * operator. You can search "shit say" on YouTube or Google and get good matching results, but Shit * Say should be more precise.

The trend of Shit * Say seem to go back months ago, no idea why I missed it. Though not everyone is fun but some do make you laugh especially you fit into the profile or have encounter with same type of person as the video tries to make fun of them.

At first glance, I did have such thought. Too shame it didn't have waves around it, or it would be really cute. xD

This just... rickrolls!

Also checkout this one-liner using SystemTap.

I didn't compile the original, so I re-compiled my kernel to add required flags, just get my computer rickrolling! I did slight modification:

sudo stap -g -e 'probe kernel.function("do_filp_open") { p = kernel_string($pathname); l = strlen(p); ext = substr(p, l - 4, l) ; if ( ext == ".mp3" || ext == ".ogg" || ext == ".mp4" ) { $pathname = %{ (long)"/tmp/RickRoll.flv" %}; } }'

sudo stap    -e 'probe kernel.function("do_filp_open") { p = kernel_string($pathname); l = strlen(p); ext = substr(p, l - 4, l) ; if ( ext == ".mp3" || ext == ".ogg" || ext == ".mp4" ) { system("mplayer -fs /tmp/RickRoll.flv") ; } }'

To tell the truth, I don't know where to get the MP3, so I use YouTube video and it gets even better. Video player sure has no problems, MPD has no problem as well.

If you have an empty audio file for the media player and supply -loop 0 to mplayer... full screen + looping, FTW!

I didn't try these: Hijacking normal files like txt when editor opening (Don't really know SystemTap, but I think execname() is right way to check, right?) and replace with lyrics. Images, mehhay! I think this would replace all images you view on web when browser loads from cache.

All my playlists are rickroll'd.

Never gonna say good bye, well sang.

From Mrs Susan Morgan


BP [38 Rue Des Martyrs Cocody

Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire
ATTN
DEAREST ONE OF GOD

I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Mr.Abram Morgan, who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2004. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.

Before his death we were both born again Christian. since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $2. 5 Million (Two Million and Five Hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) in the bank here in Abidjan in suspense account.

Presently, the fund is still with the bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that i have seriouly sickness which is cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavour that the house of God is maintained.

The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I dont have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I dont want my husbands efforts to be used by unbelievers. I dont want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence i know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the Lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.

I dont need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husbands relatives is around me always I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank here in Abidjan. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the Lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.

Contact me through my e-mail address for more informations, any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply. Remain blessed in the Lord.


Yours in Christ,
Mrs Susan Morgan.

Obviously, we have never met before or you would know I can read Chinese and greeting me in Chinese. You are currently in Abidjan, Lagunes Côte d'Ivoire, I guess you've been many places, such as China and Japan.

I am overwhelmed that you picked me to follow your will. If I do get the money, I am willing to dedicate my life for propagating the word of God, ... to look after orphans and widows in their distress... James 1:27, NIV.

US$2.5 Million (Two Million and Five Hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) are not a small number. That will be a big challenge for me to manage, but I am sure that I am capable to do well in names of God. ...with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26, NIV.

I understand that you don't want to communicate on phone, under your current circumstance, that must be hard to find someone can trust and also a dedicated Christian. ...by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6, NIV, he always listen to everyone with faithful heart. Soon, he will bring you to whom you are keeping seeking.

Lastly, ...We constantly pray for you...that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. 2 Thes. 1:11, NIV, I will pray for your for your health.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that I am no Christian, I am kind of atheist.

Sincerely yours,
Yu-Jie Lin

Earlier today, I changed my avatar on Twitter. It's for fun that make avatar look like blank image. However, you still can see something from the avatar.



So, here comes this post. I use GIMP to make another one from a cat image. The original is





The rough steps

1. Firstly, open it and duplicate the layer. And don't forget to add alpha channel. Name the duplicated layer as Edge.
   
   


2. Apply Filters Edge-Detect Sobel... on Edge layer. The result looks like
   
   
   
   
   
   


3. Remove some unwanted edges, only leave the main part. In this case, the cat's head.


4. Add Black (full transparency) layer mask to Source layer.


5. Copy Edge layer onto Source's layer mask.


6. Reduce Opacity to make the image be barely seen.


7. Enhance if the ghost image is not evenly seen:
   
   a) Duplicate the Edge as Enhance.
   
   b) Remove the parts that are too strong from Enhance layer.
   
   c) Adjust Opacity of Enhance layer to make ghost image looks balanced.
   
   

Yes, it's right above. (I set the opacity way too low. :p) The final GIMP file is here.

Snow plugin of Compiz Fusion

The Compiz Fusion from official repo does not have Snow plugin. So install compiz-fusion from non-official repo.

Before you can use this plugin, you need a snow image, download the snowflakes or mine. In CompizConfig Settings Manager, type snow to search for snow plugin. Enable it and add images under Textures tab. Press Super+F3 to enjoy!
