The Lady needed to submit her Master’s Thesis in PDF format. She couldn’t get her thesis all in one Word file, so we had to do some PDF acrobatics to put together this one single PDF file.
I found PDF reDirect, which is rather neat piece of free software. The idea is, it is a PDF queue, in which you could print to from any Windows applications, and add any PDF file to the queue. Once you are happy with the contents and order in the queue, you save everything to one PDF file. You could therefore use it to rearrange, combine, extract, splice and slice PDF pages all you like.
It doesn’t seem to handle UTF8 (i.e. Chinese) file names and would crash, but this is no big deal, just rename those damn files.
Neat.
I replaced the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 I use at work with a Logitech V550 Nano Cordless Laser Mouse. The metal wheel on the latter feels much nice than the plastic/rubbery wheel on the Microsoft, which is no longer smooth because of stuck grit but I’ve never really liked its wheel anyway.
Google Sync for Nokia S60 seems to work fine for synchronizing Google Calendar and the Calendar on my Nokia E71. Setup was relatively easy. Only deficiency so far: not supporting more than one calendar.

paying so much for the royal wordp and can’t even hold one paper in one file…. can’t any other wordprocessing application hold it in one file either? How, many pages total?

Older version which is somewhat buggy plus user incompetence. ~80 odd pages.
