Well kids, my computer is still infected, haven't had time to do anything about it... so in my dispair I've been climbing a bunch. Just rolled in from the crag and Mari has a couple of friends over for the night. One of her friends left her laptop on the dining room table.... I have stolen it and hiding up in my room until the young lady notices it missing.
Lots of shit to tell you guys.... still I'm 50+ pages back so... i guess the stories will have to wait. Time to GU, might have to pull on a few slings though, still, hope you guys had something worth reading.
oh yea,
just in case I forget,
not tring to be mushy,
still,
have to say......
missed you guys.
well, let's see if I can get through a few pages before I get found out.

hey, does it count as GU if I skimmed over that entire page that partygirl vomited all over yesterday?
The klamheads went to Thanksgiving in Cleveland. I made good pie. We went and saw Lake Erie in a fricking polar windstorm. Clausti's ass still looks nice, but I have no pics appropriate for Jack to see. As soon as I've photoshopped long hair onto her, I'll send him one. Next two days are prolly going to be the last nice das of the year at the Red, but I'm stuck grading exams.

They passed the printout sans any contact information around to people in the office who all says "well, looks like a good guy to hire, but who the fuck is stupid enough not to put contact information on a resume". Not that you'd have TMs, Copyrights, or say the degrees bubble - but such upper ASCII text often gets botched. Putting it into PDF freezes everything into bitmap format. WYSIWYG. You can see exactly how it's going to look, lock it, and send it off in a much smaller and easier to open format. Fuck, this serious posting shit is for the birds.
It's not actually a bitmap format, though this is a pretty good explanation. The history is that Adobe was the leading developer of Postscript, which was the "language" that standardized how computers talked to printers: defining the protocol by which any combination of printers and computers would produce visibly identical printouts. The Portable Document Format (PDF) is actually Postscript-compliant and has extensions to markup document properties, bookmarks, etc. I know all this useless trivia because my first jorb out of college was to write software that allowed one to fill in form fields on a PDF so I had to hack extensions onto the format.
You will Read All That! ^^

Donny7 cupz his own balls?
Actually, on the subject, the formatting of my 400 page dissertation was a nightmare, and a lot of the guidelines that they required were very difficult to get MS Office to do, especially in terms of page numbering. The night before I had to submit my dissertation, I could NOT for the life of me get the intro's roman numeral page numbers to omit page i and ii, and start on page iii (stupid rule). I was ready to smash my computer and go all Kaczynski on the college of grad studies
So clausti came up with a brilliant idea. We put opaque white circles over the i and ii page numbers, and then immediately transferred the file over into PDF format, where it remains to this day. heh.

tried that. only way it would have worked would have been to put them all together separately into one pdf (i.e., when I tried to combine multiple docs into one doc, it failzed to retain the numbering patterns), which I could not figure out how to do at that time.

Print both docs to pdf. Open one of them. Document -> Insert Pages.

cool. I'll do that next time I have to submit a dissertation. I hope that next time something like that comes up, though, I'll have fricking editors to do that schit.

yeah, i did recently figure out that on macs you can open multiple documents in preview and combine them by virtue of just dragging the relevant pages from one sidebar to the next. but i didn't know that at the time.

Just rolled in from the crag and Mari has a couple of friends over for the night. One of her friends left her laptop on the dining room table.... I have stolen it and hiding up in my room until the young lady notices it missing. Lots of shit to tell you guys.... still I'm 50+ pages back so... i guess the stories will have to wait. Time to GU, might have to pull on a few slings though, still, hope you guys had something worth reading. oh yea, just in case I forget, not tring to be mushy, still, have to say...... missed you guys. well, let's see if I can get through a few pages before I get found out.

We went to the seekret krag today. The weather was really shitty so we ended up not climbing. Just did a bunch of trail work and then pulled all our gear out.
Checked out one of the leads for a gnu seekret krag. It was okay, but I think I want to keep shopping.
