Green Tea Tracker (A5, pdf printable template, dots-and-graph)...


I am using a lot of "bullet journal" stuff this season, but got truly frazzled by the fact of not having a proper tea tracker and by my incapability to draw the one that suits me in the most flawless manner. 

Due to these reasons I have designed this printable "Green Tea Tracker" in Libre Write, using A5-mode. It is for green tea, because I mainly consume green Japanese blends - Sencha [#wiki], Kokeicha [#wiki - Kukicha] and never black ones. 

DOWNLOAD (A5, pdf printable template): 

Features:

1. Free, pdf, A5, 6 pages with various headline fonts. 

2. It is "dots-and-graph"-oriented, so the count starts from 2 bottom rows - see the picture with my own tracker below (or on #flickr, #plurk):


Note: This pdf-template is only for the personal use, no commercial profit implied. Some stuff from freepik.com had been used in its design.

How to install "Save for web" for GIMP 2.10 [Windows 10, via "Wayback machine" from archive.org]

Previously "save-for-web"-addon was available on https://registry.gimp.org/node/33, but this link is dead from 2018. 

Fortunately, archive.org has a backup, so step by step:

Step 1. Download "save for web" addon via wayback machine from Archive.org - https://web.archive.org/web/2018*/https://registry.gimp.org/node/33

2 versions should be downloaded (see the screenshot below or on #plurk):


Step 2. Shut down GIMP and copy/unzip both files like on the screenshot below (see also on #plurk):

Step 3. Re-launch GIMP and look into the File-menu (see the screenshot below or on #plurk). Ready, all systems GO, you can save web-optimized jpeg/png from now on!
