Dear Sirs, I found something that seems odd. I think I stumbled into the back-door of some programmer's hobby site at a start-up which must be trying to do Photoshop in Java. Over the weekend, I was browsing through usenet looking for access codes into adult sites. You can always dig up a couple of good ones before the accounts are canceled, especially in the morning. I found one good site. At first it seemed like the usual stuff. But the main site was all in Java. It looks like someone made a mini- version of Photoshop as an Applet and is using that for adult pics. The thing worked and I could apply all kinds of effects, save and load pictures into the Applet. I could adjust the contrast, brightness, tint, do embossing along with various other operations like adjusting the gamma level. It even let me save pictures as jpg, npg, tif, gif and bmp. It was wierd. Why would an adult site care if users could make tif files? The site also lets people do things like check stocks, ger free-mail and buy software. It also redirects you all around. It was as if someone combined Adobe and Cyberertocia with a hunk of eTrade and Drugstore.com Anyway, make sure that there aren't any girls around if you look at this stuff. The direct URL is http://www.arfnet.com. Be patient with all the advertisement crap before the Java routines. R. Vaux Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.
