The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Does anyone know how/if you can change a pdf into a jpeg or something else Flickr friendly? This is for the ita remembrances.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You can export a pdf as jpeg from Preview (OS X)

Oh man, I'm not quite qualified for that, but it sure would be fun.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

If you are in the gaming thread, you can see we've discovered the Steam Tabletop Simulator game. On my new MacBook Air, it heats it up something fierce! Would it be bad to grab an ice pack, and sit my laptop on that, to help cool it down?

Coding and Sleeping

I'm working on fixing a computer for a friend of my MIL. It's an Atom-based HP Mini and OMG is it slow. Anyhow the hard drive was shot, but I'm taking it as an opportunity to replace my laptop's drive with a SSD (I don't need a big drive in my laptop so it doesn't actually cost much) and give them that hard drive which is bigger than the one they had. But holy crap does it forever to restore the system to Windows 7. I've been really spoiled by my home desktop and work computer.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well, I broke down and bought a smart phone (the old flip phone having broken down to the point of being unusable).

Now I have to figure out how to use the damn thing. It's a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (I went up a step from the cheapest/most basic model). I tried Samsung's website ... they'd help me BUY a phone (redundant, since I already had it in my hot little hands), but when I tried to find out how to USE it ... they produced a 24-page PDF that consisted of legal terminology, health and safety warnings, and ... well, not much else.

Right now, it makes a pretty good paperweight.
