I watched a great episode of Nova last night about the reversal of the earth’s magnetic field. In part of it they explored Glatzmaier-Roberts geodynamo model which showed the reversal. I thought “hey, that looks pretty cool, I should think about using that as my new background image since I need a change. So today I went looking around for these images. I played around with a few, how they played with wterm’s tranparency, how I could change the colors. And I decided to play around with The Gimp‘s filters a bit. I really really liked the output of the cubism + colorify, which made a sort of confetti-looking mess on my screen. In wterm I set transparency w/ blue tint, so I think it looks pretty cool now. I made a new pretty screenshot:
Of course the .jpg doesn’t quite do it justice, and the .png was over 1 MB.
What else did I do today? I did a pretty good job of keeping to my learning schedule, for most of the day, then I decided to start doing some packing. Yeah, since I’m moving in 3 weeks I figured I should probably at least get some of that out of the way right now, so I’m not driving myself nuts doing it all at once. *Looks at her boxes full of books* I have so many books. I also have a pile I’m going to bring to the used bookstore sometime.
