| GumbyBRAIN | Crocodile mouse together doesn't have any experience w/ fork is more bassy and not making this up was because it has all been laughing at this time, having dinner with the ps3 backcompat list is also http://xrl.us/vgay. |

| avar | I meant `you' as in people submitting GET/POST requests to them |
| jmoncayo | unfo: http://www.bright-shadows.net/challenges/programming/numbers/tryout.php |
| shorten | jmoncayo's url is at http://xrl.us/vj4d |
| unfo | jmoncayo: that needs a user/pass jmoncayo: could you please summarize the challenge for us again? |
| jmoncayo | unfo: When you click on this link, you will receive an image. Get the numbers hidden in it and send them to the solution page like in programming 1: unfo: You have 3 seconds to do this. unfo: now could you please help me a bit? |
| unfo | jmoncayo: thank you for explaining. OK |
| jmoncayo | unfo: i could give you an image example |
| unfo | jmoncayo: what if you used ImageMagick or such to increase the contrast of the images? |
| jmoncayo | unfo: but i need to do it in 3 seconds? i wont be able to run the script, read the numbers, and enter the solution that fast |
| unfo | or maybe you could crank up the gamma or tweak the red / green / blue channel values. jmoncayo: are you sure you couldn't? |
| jmoncayo | unfo: could you do it within 3 seconds? |
| unfo | maybe with a shell or perl script to scrape and help you. i don't know |
| jmoncayo | thats why i need the ocr routine |
| unfo | i'd use a macro utility like AutoHotkey for Windows. a sample image might help. Could you post one to imageshack.us or flickr or such? |
| jmoncayo | unfo: hold one www.lamb.ath.cx/picture.png |
| noganex | damn 24h disconnect Randal: thanks, sweetie |
| Randal | sweetie? |
| unfo | jmoncayo: it seems to be a GIF by the way :) |
| jmoncayo | unfo: nope it is not, it is png. i saw it with a hex viewer |
| unfo | $ curl www.lamb.ath.cx/picture.png | file - /dev/stdin: GIF image data, version 89a, 16 x 16 |
| simcop2387 | i'd just run something like gocr, or tesseract |
| jmoncayo | unfo: from the original web site it starts with %PNG |
| noganex | Randal: http://www.google.de/search?q=define%3A+sweetie |
| unfo | jmoncayo: that is fair. |
| noganex | google explains the world ;) |
| Randal | I understand what a "sweetie" is what I don't have is context (a) why are you saying that to another guy and (b) why are you saying it to *me*? |
