Things I've learnt in the course of school

• Calculator (Mac) - press command-3 to see programmer version, press command-1 to see normal version
• The canteen's fumes wafts up to the mechatronics lab :-(
• Big headphones are useful not only for actual noise cancelling but for conveying the common understanding that one is working and does not want to be disturbed.
• TASTY CANTEEN THINGS: crispy kale, quinoa, fried capers

Gradient Banding

Gradient banding occurs in digital gradients, where there is a visible line where one color ends and the next starts, like bands of color, instead of a smooth transition from one color to the next.

Open the image in Photoshop and go under the Filter menu, under Noise, and choose Add Noise. When the Add Noise dialog appears, for Amount enter 2, for Distribution choose Gaussian, turn on the Monochromatic checkbox, and then click OK.
