    • Repair Corrupted PDF (Where Possible)

  • Merge Two or More PDFs into a New Document

    pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf cat output 123.pdf

    or (Using Handles):

    pdftk A=1.pdf B=2.pdf cat A B output 12.pdf

    or (Using Wildcards):

    pdftk *.pdf cat output combined.pdf

    Split Select Pages from Multiple PDFs into a New Document

    pdftk in.pdf cat 1E 2-end output out.pdf

    Rotate an Entire PDF Document's Pages to 180 Degrees

    pdftk in.pdf cat 1-endS output out.pdf

    Encrypt a PDF using 128-Bit Strength (the Default) and Withhold All Permissions (the Default)

    pdftk mydoc.pdf output mydoc.128.pdf owner_pw foopass

    Same as Above, Except a Password is Required to Open the PDF

hellanzb - Trac

  • hellanzb is a Python application designed for *nix environments that retrieves nzb files and fully processes them. The goal being to make getting files from Usenet (e.g.: Giganews Newsgroups) as hands-free as possible. Once fully installed, all thats required is moving an nzb file to the queue directory. The rest; fetching, par-checking, un-raring, etc. is taken care of by hellanzb.


    hellanzb also will send notices of when it has completed a file or encountered an error via Growl.

Git - Fast Version Control System

  • Git is an open source version control system
    designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency,
    but just as well suited for small personal repositories;
    it is especially popular in the open source community,
    serving as a development platform for projects like
    the Linux Kernel, Ruby on Rails, WINE or X.org.



    Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools,
    similar to e.g. Mercurial or Bazaar.
    Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with complete history
    and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access
    or a central server. Still, Git stays extremely fast and space efficient.

Word Processors: Stupid and Inefficient

  • The word processor is a stupid and grossly inefficient tool
    for preparing text for communication with others.     That is the
    claim I shall defend below. It will probably strike you as bizarre at
    first sight. If I am against word processors, what do I propose: that
    we write in longhand, or use a mechanical typewriter? No. While
    there are things to be said in favor of these modes of text
    preparation I take it for granted that most readers of this essay will
    do most of their writing using a computer, as I do. My claim is that
    there are much better ways of preparing text, using a computer, than
    the word processor.
  • I am suggesting, therefore, that should be two distinct ``moments'' in
    the production of a printed text using a computer. First one types
    one's text and gets its logical structure right, indicating this
    structure in the text via simple annotations. This is
    accomplished using a text editor, a piece of software not to
    be confused with a word processor. (I will explain this distinction
    more fully below.) Then one ``hands over'' one's text to a typesetting
    program, which in a very short time returns beautifully typeset copy.

Welcome - Bazaar Version Control

    • Bazaar is a distributed version control system that Just Works and adapts to the workflows you want to use. Bazaar is:

      • Friendly. Distributed version control doesn't need to be complex. Bazaar is Version Control for Human Beings. Bazaar has a natural feel because we focus on usability, particularly task efficiency.

      • Smart. Bazaar has perfect support for renaming files AND directories. This means developers can refactor without holding back because of fear of merging. It also means you can unleash your community and merge efficiently even from contributors who are radically restructuring the tree.

      • Fast. Almost every open source project can get the advanced features of Bazaar without slowing down its developers. See our impressive benchmark results across a wide range of open source projects.

      • Lightweight. No dedicated server with Bazaar installed is needed, just FTP access to a web server. A smart server is available for those requiring additional performance or security but it is not required in many cases - Bazaar 1.x over plain http performs well.
