Normally you connect your laptop straight to the ADSL or cable modem in your house and work like that for a while.-Shades (November 05, 2010, 05:10 PM)
SLEEP- Batch util sleeps until event occurrence.
A very flexible command line tool for scheduling events; intended for batch files. "The possible events are: FOR a length of time, TILL a certain time, a question ASKed of the user, certain FILESPECS appear or disappear, the UPS is active, or a SCHEDuled event. Commands can be combined. Sleep is DOS, DesqView (uses DV System Memory), OS/2, and Windows aware.
Sleep will accept an indirect command file. Multiple lines can be used and command files can be nested. The resulting command line must be under 16K.
Sleep takes up to 100 filespecs, with paths and wildcards. Sleep will exit when any of these filespecs is created (+) or deleted (-). If also prefixed by "&", the conditions for those filespecs are AND'ed rather than OR'ed.
Serial and parallel port monitoring: Sleep outputs a byte to the port's control register, then monitors the port's status register, looking for the presence (+) or absence (-) of a bit or bits.
Scheduled events can stored in a file which contains one line per event. Sleep returns the error level of an event when it occurs.
Sleep can also be called to return an error level based on the date or time.
The cursor keys can be used to modify time remaining."

Thanks! I missed that when I read the book (I confess to reading more to find out what happened than for detail, need to go back). I will tell this story when I talk about it.-melitabel (October 12, 2010, 03:52 PM)
It looks more like EverNote than OneNote at first glance, but I'll take a longer look later. I do need to find products which can work with both because we have people working on teams with both machines. When this discussion started in 2006, note talking was entirely personal. Now, there is little that I do without thinking, how will I be able to share this if I want to?
There doesn't seem to be a PC version, unfortunately.I did hope that there would be aversion of OneNote for Mac-melitabel (October 11, 2010, 03:03 PM)

NAME
pdfimages - Portable Document Format (PDF) image extractor (version
3.02)
SYNOPSIS
pdfimages [options] PDF-file image-root
DESCRIPTION
Pdfimages saves images from a Portable Document Format (PDF) file as
Portable Pixmap (PPM), Portable Bitmap (PBM), or JPEG files.
Pdfimages reads the PDF file, scans one or more pages, PDF-file, and
writes one PPM, PBM, or JPEG file for each image, image-root-nnn.xxx,
where nnn is the image number and xxx is the image type (.ppm, .pbm,
.jpg).
NB: pdfimages extracts the raw image data from the PDF file, without
performing any additional transforms. Any rotation, clipping, color
inversion, etc. done by the PDF content stream is ignored.

I personally don't like it has to run with admin privs, but without separating to a LUA GUI app and a admin service, that's just how it has to be.-f0dder (October 07, 2010, 02:06 PM)
