It has been a number of years since I bothered to have a printer hooked up at home. The new job has me limited in my internet access and free reign to use the computer and being that I am stuck in the Delta for a bit longer I finally broke down and bought a new one. I need to be able to print thesis stuff and scan a few things so I decided to buy a multi-function printer. Long story short I ended up buying a HP LaserJet 3050. I got a good deal on it and then spent a chunk of time getting the drivers installed tonight.
I scanned and then edited the picture above from the original that survived Katrina. For those who don't know what it is, that is the tensile testing results from the nanocomposite fibers. There were a number of curves on the plot that were no good because of clamp slippage. The other problem is that all the curves were the same linestyle....that would suck for black and white printing so I had to convert one to a dotted line. For all your image manipulation needs I recommend the GIMP. I also resized the picture using one of the few good and free tools from Microsoft, the Image Resizer. Just scroll down and select the ImageResizer.exe. Once installed you can select one or a group of pictures and when you right click an option (besides cut, paste, etc) will be to resize. Super simple, super quick.
Oh yeah, this means I can now put this image into both my thesis and the latest paper I am working on!
