InDesign CS6 script - Export JPG Images with Original Filename into New Folder

2015-01-19T18:37:00.001+03:00

Yay!

My first real InDesign script.

//What it does:

1. Export framed images from InDesign into individual JPG images.

2. These images will be named the same file name as the original linked file.

3. JPEG Settings: Progressive, Medium quality, 72 dpi, RGB (You can change these, but not sure about changing RGB - CMYK).

4. Images saved into created folder: "JPG webexport".

//NOTES:

1. The image size will be the same size as the frame of the image.

2. All framed images will be exported.

3. You gotta change the folder; absolute location (two instances).

4. If you know how to change the output folder into same location as the .indd file, PLEASE do tell. I couldn't figure this out.

//If you want to edit it:

1. You may open the file with Notepad (or other).

2. Change stuff.

3. Save it.

4. Make sure extension is .jsx.

DOWNLOAD LINKS (Google Drive):

// Credit where it's due.

These were my main sources. Thank you very much to the helpful guys and gals of StackExchange/StackOverflow :')

Now, I'm pretty sure the script can still be cleaned up, but being that this already took up almost two of my work days, I ain't gonna fix what's not broken :')

Abed Made Me Feel... Weird

2014-09-13T01:15:00.000+03:00

Watching the TV series tonight (the April Fool's episode "The Science of Illusion"), there was a scene where Annie and Shirley were in the Dean's office.
Abed was also there, for no apparent reason.
When the dean asked him why he was there he said,
"Short answer? My cable went out."
And then I felt like some spirit went out of my body.
Hah.

Yes to Genetically Modified Foods

2014-01-25T02:31:00.000+03:00

Why make cheap, big, "dangerous" genetically modified foods (GMO's) that you can donate to needy countries, when you can produce "organic" foods that only the rich can afford and no one in the starving regions of the world will be able to take a bite of?

Come on.

You'd rather have people starve to death than give them food that you labeled as "unsafe". And I bet you're using fossil fuel in your cars.

GMO's are there to help people, to feed people.
But, don't copyright plants and animals, unless you actually created, like 90% of it :'p

This is the New Rule

2013-03-29T21:50:00.003+03:00

Be kind only to those who are kind to you.
And be an absolute ass to those you don't dig.

Go forth and multiply.

So sayeth the New Scriptures.

///

And he saw that it was good.
Sarcastically.

Sadly, that's how the world goes. Sorry, God.
Can we say "ePiC fAiL"?

Forgiveness Is Not Just Divine

2013-03-08T14:52:00.001+03:00

"If God can forgive, what more can we humans? We're only humans".
"To err is human; to forgive, divine." (Alexander Pope)

I don't follow these thoughts.

"We are only humans" is the very reason why we would be less able to forgive than God can.

I mean God is perfect, He has everything, He has no need for anything. If God forgives, what does He lose? Nothing.

If someone steals a wallet, then God forgives him, what is it to God? He doesn't need that wallet, or the money in the wallet... God can afford forgiving.
If the victim forgives the thief, the victim gives something. What if he doesn't get the wallet back? What if he gets the wallet back, but some money is missing, and the thief could be sentenced to prison life? If the victim says, "No need for prison. I forgive you. Don't worry about the money, and I will carry the emotional burden of not having justice served", is it less than what God has done, or is it more?
We are looking at the effort expended here, or the lost possession, or the satisfaction of getting back at the "enemy". God doesn't need any effort, he doesn't need any of those things. At least that's what I think His Perfection means.

Forgiveness is giving an emotional or material pardon. That means if a thing is forgiven, the effort to give that thing back is not expected. It is giving. God has everything to give. Man doesn't have that luxury.

Forgiveness is more than divine.

My Review of Friends Central Perk Mug

2012-12-28T18:40:00.001+03:00

Originally submitted at NBC Universal Store

Perfect for that extra-large helping of morning brew, this 20-oz Friends Central Perk Mug features the ''Central Perk'' logo with white polka-dots. It's wide top also leaves plenty of room for dunking your 'sneezemuffins.'

Much better than expected!

By Shadouness from Riyadh, KSA on 12/28/2012

Pros: Durable, Large Capacity / Good Size, Stylish

Best Uses: Dining, Gifts, Office, Home, Breakfast

Describe Yourself: Practical

I've read reviews that the handle is thin, but it's not. I think the thickness would be around 2-4.5cm in diameter.

Also, it's really thick all around, so it feels durable, but not so thick on the lips that it would be uncomfortable drinking from it.

The prints are awesome as I had hoped.

Huge (bought 2 as gifts) which was how my F·R·I·E·N·D·S really wanted it :')

Holiday season, but delivery was fast.

(I don't know if it's microwave safe or dishwasher safe).
My friends loved 'em. See attached photos they took :')

Weight-spammed

2012-12-20T11:28:00.002+03:00

I'm cleaning my Gmail.
The search word "weight" had the most number of hits. Many of those in the list also had celebrity names attached to them.

Next was "bank". And "card" -- mostly E-Card. The links in their messages are obviously dubious.

I don't get so much of those "hard", "sexy", "sex", anymore.
Also not much of "pharma", "pharmacy" and the like.

///

I'm not overweight. I need more mass actually.

Mass, I tell you!

Cheers ;')

لما كان الاعتراف بالكرامة المتأصلة في جميع أعضاء الأسرة البشرية وبحقوقهم المتساوية الثابتة هو أساس الحرية والعدل والسلام في العالم.

ولما كان تناسي حقوق الإنسان وازدراؤها قد أفضيا إلى أعمال همجية آذت الضمير الإنساني، وكان غاية ما يرنو إليه عامة البشر انبثاق عالم يتمتع فيه الفرد بحرية القول والعقيدة ويتحرر من الفزع والفاقة.

ولما كان من الضروري أن يتولى القانون حماية حقوق الإنسان لكيلا يضطر المرء آخر الأمر إلى التمرد على الاستبداد والظلم.

ولما كان من الجوهري تعزيز تنمية العلاقات الودية بين الدول،

ولما كانت شعوب الأمم المتحدة قد أكدت في الميثاق من جديد إيمانها بحقوق الإنسان الأساسية وبكرامة الفرد وقدره وبما للرجال والنساء من حقوق متساوية وحزمت أمرها على أن تدفع بالرقي الاجتماعي قدماً وأن ترفع مستوى الحياة في جو من الحرية أفسح.

ولما كانت الدول الأعضاء قد تعهدت بالتعاون مع الأمم المتحدة على ضمان اطراد مراعاة حقوق الإنسان والحريات الأساسية واحترامها.

ولما كان للإدراك العام لهذه الحقوق والحريات الأهمية الكبرى للوفاء التام بهذا التعهد.

فإن الجمعية العامة تنادي بهذا الإعلان العالمي لحقوق الإنسان على أنه المستوى المشترك الذي ينبغي أن تستهدفه كافة الشعوب والأمم حتى يسعى كل فرد وهيئة في المجتمع، واضعين على الدوام هذا الإعلان نصب أعينهم، إلى توطيد احترام هذه الحقوق والحريات عن طريق التعليم والتربية واتخاذ إجراءات مطردة، قومية وعالمية، لضمان الاعتراف بها ومراعاتها بصورة عالمية فعالة بين الدول الأعضاء ذاتها وشعوب البقاع الخاضعة لسلطانها.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights - Filipino (Tagalog)

Noong Disyembre 10, 1948, ang Pangkalahatang Kapulungan ng mga Bansang Nagkakaisa ay nagsagawa at nagpahayag ng Pandaigdig na Pahayag ng mga Karapatan ng Tao. Ang buong nilalaman noon ay mababasa sa mga susunod na pahina. Kasunod ng makasaysayang gawaing ito, ang Kapulungan ay nanawagan sa lahat ng mga kagawad ng bansa upang ilathala ang nilalaman ng Pahayag at "upang ito'y palaganapin, itanghal, basahin, at talakayin lalung-lalo na sa mga paaralan at iba pang institusyong edukasyonal, nang walang pagtatangi batay sa kalagayang pulitikal ng mga bansa o mga teritoryo." Pangwakas na Textong May Pahintulot na salin sa Pilipino ng Katipunan ng Bagong Pilipina. Ipinaabot ng Punong Pangkaalaman ng mga Bansang Nagkakaisa para sa Pilipinas ang taus-pusong pasasalamat sa Law Center ng Pamantasan ng Pilipinas na unang naglimbag ng pahayag na ito na salin sa Pilipino. Ipinalimbag ng Punong Pangkaalaman ng mga Bansang Nagkakaisa para sa Pilipinas at ng Kagawaran ng Kabatirang Pangmadla ng mga Bansang Nagkakaisa.

PANDAIGDIG NA PAGPAPAHAYAG NG MGA KARAPATAN NG TAO

PANIMULA

Sapagkat ang pagkilala sa katutubong karangalan at sa pantay at di-maikakait na mga karapatan ng lahat ng nabibilang sa angkan ng tao ay siyang saligan ng kalayaan, katarungan at kapayapaan sa daigdig.
Sapagkat ang pagwawalang-bahala at paglalapastangan sa mga karapatan ng tao ay nagbunga ng mga gawang di-makatao na humamak sa budhi ng sangkatauhan, at ang pagdatal ng isang daigdig na ang mga tao ay magtatamasa ng kalayaan sa pagsasalita at ng kaligtasan sa pangamba at pagdaralita ay ipinahayag na pinakamataas na mithiin ng mga karaniwang tao.
Sapagkat mahalaga, kung ang tao ay di-pipiliting manghawakan bilang huling magagawa, sa paghihimagsik laban sa paniniil at pang-aapi, na ang mga karapatan ng tao'y mapangalagaan sa pamamagitan ng paghahari ng batas.
Sapagkat mahalagang itaguyod ang pagpapaunlad ng mabuting pagsasamahan ng mga bansa.
Sapagkat ang mga mamamayan ng Mga Bansang Nagkakaisa ay nagpatibay sa Karta ng kanilang pananalig sa mga Saligang karapatan ng tao, sa karangalan at kahalagahan ng pagkatao at sa pantay na mga karapatan ng mga lalaki at babae at nagpapasiyang itaguyod ang kaunlarang panlipunan at lalong mabubuting pamantayan ng buhay sa lalong malaking kalayaan.
Sapagkat ang mga Kasaping Estado ay nangako sa kanilang sarili na tamuhin sa pakikipagtulungan sa mga Bansang Nagkakaisa, ang pagtataguyod ng pandaigdig na paggalang at pagtalima sa mga karapatan ng tao at mga saligang kalayaan.
Sapagkat lubhang mahalaga ang pagkakaunawa ng lahat sa mga karapatan at kalayaang ito at lubhang mahalaga sa ganap na pagsasakatuparan ng mga pangakong ito.

Ngayon, Samakatuwid,
Ang Pangkalahatang Kapulungan
ay nagpapahayag ng
Pandaigdig na Pagpapahayag na ito
ng mga Karapatan ng Tao

bilang pangkalahatang pamantayang maisasagawa para sa lahat ng tao at bansa, sa layuning ang bawat tao at bawat galamay ng lipunan, na laging nasa isip ang Pahayag na ito, ay magsikap sa pamamagitan ng pagtuturo at edukasyon na maitaguyod ang paggalang sa mga karapatan at kalayaang ito at sa pamamagitan ng mga hakbang na pagsulong na pambansa at pandaigdig, ay makamtan ang pangkalahatan at mabisang pagkilala at pagtalima sa mga ito, maging ng mga mamamayan ng mga Kasaping Estado at ng mga mamamayan ng mga teritoryo na nasa ilalim ng kanilang nasasakupan.

No to Nationalism

2012-10-19T00:01:00.000+03:00

I'm not nationalistic.
It narrows my perspective. Not everyone in the world is a Filipino. It's a precursor to racism.
Nationalism is an idea that causes prejudice, death and hatred.
Some people use that idea to hold on to an identity. But it's not personal identity. It's social. And identifying with any society can turn into, for example, a holocaust. Nationalism is an advocate for "survival of the fittest" and supremacist ideologies, and that leads to needless deaths. It leads to renewal too, but renewal by massacre, or genocide, or mass murder...*

Filipinos being nationalistic would be an irony, because we are all over the world, earning our living by probably every known human currency. I work in Riyadh. My Girlfriend works in Taiwan. We support our families in the Philippines. I've heard people say that you're not a Filipino if you have no family member or relative working abroad. Forget national pride. Forget pride, period. Pride is the reason why we think we're better than anyone else. Someone is always better than us. No one is better than us. Presidents serve their countries, their people pay them their salaries, politicians brainwash the masses, Rome invades Europe. Whatever...
This writing is not anti-Filipino. This is anti-nationalism. I just happened to be a Filipino.

*Interestingly, the company I work for is expanding in Armenia. In 1915, The Ottoman Empire (modern-day Turkey), sought to exterminate the Armenian minority from their territory/ies during and after World War 1. "It is acknowledged to have been one of the first modern genocides... and it is the second most-studied case of genocide after the Holocaust."--Wikipedia ; Only yesterday, Thursday, I sent finished graphics to our contact there named Armine. In a sense, she is a holocaust survivor.

Can we abolish nationalism and live in a globalized society?

Self World Perspective

2012-10-18T22:51:00.001+03:00

Back in my first year of university, my History professor taught us to refer to countries in terms of where we are, not by what the foreigners call them.
The Middle East, for example: for me, an Asian, it's actually in the west of Asia.
It's about identity -- not just giving in to others telling you what you are. It's not being anti-social, after all no one knows himself fully, and instead needs to rely on other people to see reflections of himself. It's about being able to tell yourself and other people that there are things in you that they cannot control. Like what your name is, or how you will eat your fish.
My friend Raymond posted on Facebook, "we r all indeed APPROVAL JUNKIES" -- we just do whatever THEY like. You know, kids do that. If a kid kicks a dog, then you laugh, they'll just keep kicking it no matter how the dog whimpers. It's okay if his life mission is kicking the dog though.

People perceive the world as individuals and as societies (the West call our "Western Asia" as "Middle East", because they agreed to it) and it's important to look at how other people see your world. Examine how it affects you and everyone else, then act properly.

No Person is All-Knowing

2012-09-20T13:51:00.001+03:00

"Some Christians and Muslims say we are humans first, then "Muslim, Christian, Hindi, Jew... etc." only next... if they're wrong, then who is right? You? Who said you are right?? You? Them? Him? Her?
People, people... ideas are dangerous. Ideas/thoughts make us think we are always right. When you always think you are right, then you are wrong. This is not just for one or some of you. I say this for ALL OF US.
At least tell me what keyboard brand and model I am using now, or just tell me what pen brand I use for writing my journals and that is a LITTLE BIT of proof that you are omniscient. If you can't tell me that, don't act as though you are all knowing. Again this is for no one in particular. I say this for ALL OF US. People."

Friends Rush In

2012-03-01T20:01:00.001+03:00

*Spoiler alert!*

In the comedy TV series Friends, episode 12 (season 10, originally aired 12 February 2004), "The One With Phoebe's Wedding", Phoebe and Mike's wedding march music was an instrumental rendition of Fools Rush In.

There was a movie (romantic comedy) titled Fools Rush In (1997) that starred Salma Hayek and Matthew Perry.

In Friends, Matthew plays Chandler Bing, and he walked Phoebe down the aisle in place of her father during that wedding.

Stop buying the unnecessary.
Toss half your stuff, learn contentedness.
Reduce half again.
List 4 essential things in your life, do these first,
stop doing the non-essential.
Clear distractions, focus on each moment.
Let go of attachment to doing, having more.
Fall in love with less.

Sunday Sermon

Remembrance

September 11, 2011

            Just about a year ago I wrote my first sermon for the Temple. The topic of that sermon was Ethnocentrism, or discrimination. That topic was based on the events surrounding the disaster that occurred on September 11, 2001 in New York. Today marks the ten year anniversary of this tragedy and I hear many comments about remembering the people that died that day others talk still about what they wish to do to those responsible. Others still believe the past should stay in the past.
            For me I still take the time to remember those that lost their lives that day as well as all the others that have served their country whether military, police, fire department, or E.M.S. These are some of the most dangerous and often the lowest paying professions in any country. The men and women that serve these positions put their lives on the line to protect the rights and safety of those around them. For anyone that is reading this and, in one of these jobs I would like to send out a special thanks to you on this day.
            The object of writing today is to say it is ok to remember. Allow yourself time to think about those who have gone before us and given their lives for what they believe. Remember those that have forged the path of history for us. This is not the same as dwelling on the past and holding on to those physical things that tie us down. There is a line that we can draw if we allow ourselves to let go of the negativity of remembrance. That is the hate that people still show ten years later. The painful memories that if not let go will mold us into those filled with hate, anger, and fear. Do not be held down by the past.
            I know this week’s message is short but it is sincere. I remember this day for the fallen. I remember the honor of those that serve others. I remember my friends and family. I also let go of the hate and sorrow that comes with these memories.

Firefox Addon MAF + Adblock incompatibility

2011-03-14T11:07:00.000+03:00

Finally found the culprit!

This is Firefox's Adblock Plus

When using Mozilla Archive Format (1.0.0), disable Adblock Plus (1.3.3), otherwise you'd always end up saving garbled htm/mht code.

Mozilla Archive Format (MAF) enabled in my Firefox 4.0 Beta 12 web browser

Won't Sleep, Must Do Something

2011-02-19T22:57:00.000+03:00

I'm there again. In a space where I don't want to sleep because I want to do something. It's a personal space.

It's not boredom. I don't get bored.

I haven't felt like this since... college? 10 years ago?

Just before my 7th grade I think, I realized that I don't like sleeping, or eating, because they just get in the way of what I wanted to do. Read, play, watch, listen... :'p I want to create, or take part in the created.

I smiled inside. :') I smiled outside. Wow. I like it. =')

Hmmm... maybe it was because of Sherlock. I just watched the second episode (third, if you count the unaired pilot*... heehee, unaired pilot. [*pilot=first (episode), for all those TV series newbies out there])

I think the line below hit me hard nicely:

"I don't eat when I'm working. Digesting slows me down." ~Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock (2010)

Although in my case, it's not the digesting that I see would slow me down. It's the eating.

Pinoy Bloggers, Help Graduating Student

2011-01-08T20:46:00.000+03:00

All right. This is my last post for tiffitotz, the graduating college student :'p
('cos I'm just feeling super helpful tonight yow! (not only to her, that's why "super" ;'p))

I'm just reposting her statements here. It's easier that way :'p

Below was from her multiply account:

Hello fellow bloggers. I need your help.
Dec 13, '10 5:09 AM - for everyone
If you are Filipino, 16 and up, and a blogger (regardless of the site, and including Tumblr and Facebook Notes), please help me graduate by answering my survey here:

http://www.kwiksurveys.com/online-survey.php?surveyID=HLEKII_31745bbc

And if that doesn't work, attached is the same survey in Word format. Please send it to me at stardust_014120@yahoo.com

It doesn't matter when you last updated your blog. I'm also studying that aspect so you don't really have to blog everyday to answer my survey. Of course, confidentiality is of utmost priority. Data will be analyzed by group so anonymity is a given. Please do answer it and share to other bloggers as well. Thank you so much! :)
Attachment: Questionnaire (MS).doc

This other one was from where I first saw her... call. It's a blog, scroll down to the comments area where her comment is:
http://threesticksofwatusi.wordpress.com/2010/12/07/wishlist-for-christmas-2010/#comments

I am a graduating student from UP Manila and blog hopping led me here. :) I was wondering if you could answer a survey I made regarding Filipino bloggers. This is for my thesis and answering will only take you a couple of minutes.

http://www.kwiksurveys.com/online-survey.php?surveyID=HLEKII_31745bbc

Confidentiality will be of utmost priority. Answering my survey will be very much appreciated. Thanks! :)

All right, people! I think it's going to be fun and introspective, so if you're into any of that, answer the survey. You just might make her day. And graduation :'p (She still needs 80 respondents as of our correspondence today... err, last night.)
Good morning!

Yours in the Force ;')

fbbutton is a Flop

2011-01-08T16:04:00.004+03:00

I saw a Firefox addon that claims it will (in my words) enhance and ease my Facebook experience. But only after a Firefox restart, I immediately noticed a big decrease in my browser's responsiveness. Anything I tried to do on Firefox happens a minute or more afterwards. It's. A. Flop. Sadly.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a vehicle for malicious code.

Here are screenshots of it, and I provided a link* for the curious, but I recommend that you NOT use it:
http://fbbutton.com/
(*and if you check out the page of that link, you'll see that I'm only one of the four people who "Like"d it on the Facebook widget on that page. Unfortunately, there still isn't an "Unlike" or "Dislike" button.)

ABOVE: fbbutton is listed among the toolbar menus of Firefox

ABOVE: fbbutton adds a toolbar to your Firefox browser

ABOVE: fbbutton options

ABOVE: It's easy to hit that "Disable" button. "Uninstall" isn't bad either. I only disabled it, kept it there for "archiving"
