Yesterday, I tried to measure the startup time of Adobe Reader (AR) on Windows and wondered if I could create a PDF file triggering the AR application exit on load of itself. For some hours, I wondered how the hell to include Javascript in a PDF document without having to use Acrobat. Some time ago, I created a Mozilla Thunderbird (TB) loader for my personal use (on Windows). It makes TB totally portable, works with any TB version and can be applied to already installed versions. Maybe others like the way it works, too. So I decided to make it available here and to write a small documentation. While writing my master thesis with LaTeX, I often change source code files, graphics etc. It is important for me to keep track of the major changes as well as I have to prevent losing the whole work due to some data loss issue. To solve these two problems, I wrote a convenient Python backup script.
Seriously, you really want to know what’s behind this! Secunia offers a great online security check: In den letzten Monaten musste ich des Öfteren wichtige formale Briefe versenden und natürlich vorher erstellen. Einmal nahm ich mir die Zeit, dieses vernünftig mit LaTeX (freies Textsatzsystem) zu tun und war total begeistert: das Ergebnis sieht ungemein professionell aus und wenn man sich einmal eingearbeitet und eine Vorlage erstellt hat, ist jeder neue Brief extrem schnell und einfach zu erstellen — schneller und viel besser, als man es mit einer Office-Anwendung schaffen könnte. Als LaTeX-Neuling ist man jedoch auf eine Vorlage, an der man sich orientieren kann, angewiesen. Diese möchte ich mit diesem Beitrag liefern. Important news for everyone using Gurkes Fotobatch: The new version 0.5 introduces multicore/multiprocessor support for image resizing and fixes a small bug. Hello world, as you perhaps know, I am developing a small digital photo processing tool (for Windows systems): Gurkes Fotobatch. I’m about to release version 0.5 and avail myself of the opportunity to introduce the function of Fotobatch to you by means of some text and screenshots. I just needed to convert several PDF graphics to PNG raster graphics. The cleanest way to do this is via Ghostscript (example: I just released Gurkes Fotobatch 0.4. | |
