Description

This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.

The script is here:

#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"

Maintaing GEM_HOME with rbenv + omg
# Trying to use http://blog.zenspider.com/blog/2012/09/ohmygems.html
#
# When I run "omg sample" and install a gem (via "gem install" or "bundle install"), it
# is still going into the "global" directory though.
#
# I may be doing something wrong, but, it seems like GEM_HOME is not being maintained
# in rbenv's shim commands.
#
# What am I doing wrong?
