Photos from animated GIF

cover animated gif extract frames

sample of a simple sexy animated gifThe Graphics Interchange Format (better known by its acronym GIF) is a digital image format that was introduced in 1987 by CompuServe, the first major commercial online service in the United States. It has since come into widespread usage on the Internet due to its wide support and portability. Basic animation was added to the GIF89a spec few years after the first release, called GIF87a. The animated GIF are still so popular that they have even become currency in many chat rooms and email messages.

The girl dancing here is a typical animated GIF file. I chose something appropriate for this blog. Eheheh. Suppose you want to get a static image of the girl without the dress. Well, the purpose of this post is to explain how you can extract a single frame from the whole file. There is specif software able to create/split animated GIF images but in the web 2.0 era everything is provided as web service. So all you need to do is to go to GIF Explode or GIF exploder or Picasion or another one of your choice, there are dozens, and insert the url of the animated GIF you want to explode. That’s easy.

If you feel nerdy and you want to use a program from your own PC, I can suggest GIF Splitter, easy, free and with a very spartan interface. It also create a .GSF file which can be used to create ASCII art animations.

Last note: the GIF images are based on the patent US 4558302 that expired on 20 June 2003, so the GIF format is public domain technology, free to use for everyone.

Get a social front page

rebel mouse social aggregator

Rebel Mouse is a new personal publishing service that aims to be your main hangout online by offering a free aggregation service that pulls together your social media feeds into a single, unified view. If you’re a very social kinkster you can’t miss it. Setup is fast and easy. In two minutes I’ve put online the Rebel Mouse page for Fetish Bank. I love it.

You can use their service to automatically generate a personalized page of content pulled from various social media sources (Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Linkedin, Thumblr, etc.) and then use that page as a home page or embed it into your existing blog, microblog or website. The finished product looks a little like Pinterest in design, with a basic grid layout that rolls down a single page and keeps on going, showing more and more stuff as you scroll down.

Opening images .jpg-large

If you’re a Twitter user you may have tried to save some images and noticed they come out with a weird file file extension (.jpg-large) that make them hard to handle. If you double click on it, in a Microsoft Windows environment, you’ll get a message saying there are no programs able to open it.

Technically, that file is a normal jpeg image, so if you rename the file with a .jpg extension you can handle it as you do for all the other image files. You may find it annoying, I do, so there’s a workaround that allow to open that kind of file with a double click. The key is identifying a software able to manage it. Most picture viewers or editors can’t open it. I tried many with no luck (Psp, Abobe Photoshop, Phoxo), but Microsoft Paint can. Lol. So you can use it to view your Twitter images quickly. Unfortunately, you won’t get the image preview in the file manager. Other software able to open it are the most common Internet Browsers; Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Internet Explorer can read it. All you have to do is associate the .jpg-large file extension with your favorite software and you’re done.

Not very difficult, however, understanding this article and the workaround require you to have a little bit of confidence with the operative system. If you feel a little bit in trouble with this stuff, but want to learn more, there’s a small guide that explain how to change the default program for a specific file extension in windows.

Jailed account on Twitter

twitter jailed account cover 2

Have you ever seen a Twitter account saying “jailed account” ? Are you still wondering what it means ? Ok, let’s explain the secret…It is a secondary account that someone uses if they’re in Twitterjai… ahahahaha… and what the hell is the Twitterjai then ?

Well, Twitter can actually put you into jail and you have to take a break before you can take up your tweeting habits again. Twitter Jail is no tweeting if you’ve reached the limit of 100 tweets per hour/1000 per day. You can access your page but you may not post publicly for a specific period of time. Anything from half an hour to a few hours.

Got it ? When you reached your limit you can just move yo your jailed account… : D
