Chatting On The Net

Internet phone to fax services are now available on the net for free. These services are called VOIP which stands for Voice over Internet Protocol.

Most customers rely on Spectrotel phone service for their businesses and residential needs. Spectrotel offers only the best in VOIP service to its clients.

In internet chatting there is more text than actual talk. Because of that there are quite a lot of chat slang and acronyms created and available for use. They call it LOLspeak, the lanuage used for internet chatting.

I’m not very good with LOLspeaking so here’s a summarized LOLspeak procedure from this site:

— Think of something to say.
— “Engrish” it. Think of how the Rugrats would say it.
— Misspell everything.
— Add exclamations and extra words.
— Add additional information.

Example: Wow! You have a very cute dog!

Translation: Wat da eff! U has a uber kyut doggie!

You see, there’s really no wrong way of LOLspeaking. But I still think I suck at LOLspeaking. Hehe. =D

Lolita Fashion

I love Lolita Fashion. Too bad I can’t afford a lolita outfit of my own. So instead, I’ve edited an image of myself in a lolita outfit using some of my favorite image editing softwares.

Image editors are one of the two primary categories of graphics software. Images that are created and edited in this type of application are referred to as bitmaps because they are made up a series of pixels in a grid.

For example:

Edited Photo

Tada! It’s me in a lolita outfit! =D (My editing could use a little improvement though)

So here are the image-editing applications I’ve used for the photos above:

GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) – It is often used as an alternative to Adobe Photoshop because you can download GIMP for free. GIMP can:

— Fix perspective distortions.

— Supports different file formats like jpg, gif, png, tiff, bmp, psd and many more.

— Lasso tool <– Oh yes. You can cut images more accurately in GIMP. Try it and see the comparison. As for the images above, I used the lasso tool in GIMP to cut my face and then saved as a psd file.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 – I used the trial edition, but still ranked first in image-editing downloads because of it’s interface. Unlike any other image-editing softwares, Photoshop offers non-destructive editing. Some of my favorite Photoshop features are:

— Dodge, Burn, and Sponge tools that now intelligently preserve color and tone details.

— And my favorite, the Clone Stamp and the Healing Brush <– For retouching images more easily and precisely without making it look awkward. I have used these features the most for the photos above.
