Leptonica

Leptonica is the name of an image processing library which uses image recognition to determine the "bounding boxes" and orientation of all the letters on a scanned page.

This was named by a scientist I'm sure. "Leptons" are the tiny little light weight particles like 'photons' in comparison to the big heavy particles - like neutrons and protons. Photons are the particles that are in light...
that allow us to see images at all! :)

Right now it is the thing that will not build or is interrupting the build of "tesseract" my optical character recog nition library.


    checking for leptonica... yes
    checking for pixCreate in -llept... no
    configure: error: leptonica library missing

Hmm most frustrating...

Sendgrid and Online in Sydney!

Okay guys,

So I've finally got my act together - after switching jobs I gave my new job my 100% attention for the first three months - but now I'm able to do a little bit of work on my own project at home.

So this morning I checked out sharehouser from github/heroku (after some fun with ssh keys...)

*TIP* if you forget your passphrase for your ssh key - use "ssh-keygen -p" it will let you "reset" your password - but you can also use it to locally attempt remembering your passphrase! :)

Then "ssh-add" to add the key to your keyring (you may need to do:

chmod 600 ~/.ssh

chmod 600 ~/id_rsa*

)

Yes so now it's all up and running and I'm good to go - before I left Germany I actually managed to get Sendgrid hooked up into sharehouser - so now you can email it your bills directly into your sharehouser house - it expects bills to be in the following format:

etc...

It's a pretty nice feature to be able to add bills to your sharehouse from anywhere.

Okay gotta keep codin!
