square photos in Google Contacts – create them with the help of ImageMagick’s convert -splice
I really start appreciating ImageMagick and the transformations it supports, that I come across. Google Contacts really prefers square photos, and if your photo does not have a square geometry, you have to crop it to a sub-square.

My FRITZ!Box call monitor is written in ruby-1.9. So far I am running it using MRI-ruby-1.9.

Are you interested in such a utility? I derived this utility from TextApp, that comes with the JasperReports sample applications. It uses command line arguments in order to assign values to $P{…} within JRXML resp. .jasper.
