How To Save Artwork from Weavesilk.com
I just discovered weavesilk.com, which I think is pretty cool. However, it looks like they don’t give you a way to save your generated artwork. If you’re running Google Chrome (or, as I am, Chromium), there’s a trick you can use to save what you’ve created. This can probably be done with Firefox using Firebug, and maybe in some other ways, but here’s how I do it with Chromium.
-
Create your artwork by dragging around.
-
Right-click somewhere on the page and select “Inspect Element.”
-
In the new browser pane that comes up, click to the “Console” tab and enter the following:
``canvas = document.getElementById('render')
img = document.createElement('img')
img.src = canvas.toDataURL()``
-
The browser will probably freeze for a few seconds (or more than a few), and your CPU usage will shoot up. Be patient.
-
Click to the “Resources” tab in the developer pane, and look in the list for something that starts with “data:image/png”. Click it, and you should see your artwork to the right, on a transparent checkerboard background.
-
Right-click the image and select “Save Image As.”
The image will save with a transparent background, but you can open it up in an image editor and add a solid background color if you like.

I just posted a page detailing my experience installing Gentoo on one of the new MacBook Air models (in my case the MacBookAir3,1 with 1.6GHz CPU, 128GB SSD, and 4GB RAM). Hopefully it’ll be useful for others.
