Greetings fellow traveler...
Welcome to pilobilus.net, which is "under construction". The menu items in gray are pages in various stages of development - some will be added soon, others will take a while to create. I add content to this site whenever I have the time to do so, and there is always something "in progress". For more info about this website and where it is headed, check out About this website.
Thanks for stopping by!
Our website so far:
Online Music: Thousands of online music servers are streaming music worldwide right now. No matter what your taste in music, you will find free "stations" that you will want to listen to at home or on the job. Here's a complete introduction including a media player that will enable you to surf thousands of channels, online channel reviews, and a way cool 30+ channel playlist to download.
Learning The GIMP: The GNU Image Manipulation Program (originally known as the "General Image Manipulation Program") is your complete Free Software alternative to high priced photo editing tools for home and professional use. This tutorial will show you how to get the GIMP and set it up, and where to learn useful fundamentals quickly and easily.
Photo Restoration: One of the most powerful aspects of digital photography is that any desktop computer can serve as a darkroom for comprehensive post exposure processing. The images presented here are examples of my own work in this area - always, of course, a work in progress. I do economical photo repair & enhancement work, contact me for details.
Vector Graphics: Vector graphics are made of numerical values that define the position, shape, color, and etc. of lines and curves. Images can be scaled to any size with full resolution. Vector graphics are "master files" for multiple applications, such as logos that will appear on letterhead, brochures, business cards, signs, & etc.. These are a few that I have made for clients.
Windows PC Security: There is no product you can buy and no magic silver bullet that will keep Bad Things from taking over computers with Microsoft Windows installed. The only real path to secure computing practice is to learn how and why the most common attacks succeed, and what configurations, policies, and practices make systems more (or less) resistant to attack.
