I'm working in MS Word 2003.Is there a way to batch/global convert the doc from side-by-side pages to straight single ones?-bit (December 02, 2014, 10:23 PM)
you mentioned Word before? Have a look at your view - word doesn't use any sort of page arrangement (that I know of) but the 'reading mode' will present that way
or is it 2 pages to a sheet? if so try looking at columns (use the show all tool...)-Target (December 02, 2014, 11:01 PM)
It would help if you mentioned the online service you used so we're not suggesting it.It did a magnificent job of conversion from pdf to doc.
Be that as it may, Zamzar.
I just checked it with a 3.8MB PDF consisting of images and formatted text and the converted result was a 25MB Word DOC file with images and reasonably formatted text.-4wd (December 02, 2014, 07:32 PM)

My Norton Startup Manager says ProcessTamer is on its 'start on boot' list, but PTs 'front end' says it's not running at boot, and I have to manually click the Desktop icon to make its icon appear in System Tray.-bit (December 02, 2014, 06:41 PM)

Here's a preview of the new ProcessTamer Configuration GUI in action.I just installed ProcessTamer, and have high hopes for fewer BSODs and lock-ups.
It's a separate program from the main resident tray tool so it takes up no resources during normal operation.
It's main purpose is obviously to help you configure ProcessTamer and create rules, but it will also let you view and change priorities on the fly quicker than through task manager, etc..
You can see that the new gui has 2 tabs, one is configuration of options and explicit override rules,
and the other acts as a kind of quick-access task manager where you can manually change priorities or kill processes.
note that this gui for configuring is a completely separate exe that is invoked when needed, so that the main program running in the tray remains super small and efficient.-mouser (March 29, 2005, 04:45 AM)

Here's a stunning landscape / night-sky time lapse video (up to 4k quality)Serene.

Apparently above is excerpts from a film -- Timescapes -- which also includes slow-motion photography.
Two trailers below:

Not so gone on the slow-motion stuff (the music is apt but doesnt move me either) but the time-lapse stuff is really stunning.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. ^I'd rather swivel my head side-to-side than nod my head up and down all day long.-Deozaan (November 24, 2014, 12:54 PM)it's really true -- moving the head/eyes vertically is *MUCH* more uncomfortable than horizontal movement.-mouser (November 24, 2014, 01:11 PM)

There's a saying that there's a time and place for everything. In my case, the time was the mid 70s and the place was Boston/Cambridge MA. Although I've done sessions, sat in, or just played with a lot of people since then, I haven't gone at it hammer & tongs (i.e. that professionally) since.Once a rocker, always a rocker.
My band's name was Maelstrom ("High-Energy Rock!"). Your classic rock quintet: two guitars (Gibson SG + Fender Telecaster), percussion (Rodgers), bass (Gibson L9S/Fender Jazz), and vocals (1 lead/2 harmony). We were an "all original" rock band trying to get signed at the dawn of the discoerrorera. Two guesses how far that went despite having a good local following.
Our favorite venue was the now legendary and sadly departed Rathskeller (known as "The Rat") on "Comm Ave." in Boston.
(see attachment in previous post)This is sorta what you'd see at The Rat. Pretty cute, huh? And miniskirts in the dead of Boston's winter? Boy, those were the days!
The Rat was the quintessential "rock dive" bar. Sorta of like Boston's answer to CBGB's which opened one year earlier in 1973. Great music. Great bands. And an unique cast of 'characters' out in the audience. I recently discovered my band was listed on The Rat's Wikipedia page under "Notable Acts." Not too shabby considering some of the bands on that list went on to real fame and fortune.
Sorry I don't have any pictures, videos, or recordings to share. This was before the advent of digital. Recordings were mostly done in a $$$ recording studio on reel-to-reel and then dubbed to 30 min cassettes or mastered to 45 RPM vinyl. Very expensive in those days. Video was totally beyond the financial resources of most groups. About the only way you'd ever score a video was if you appeared on some local public TV station. (No DVDs, MP4s, VHS or Betamax cartridges for playback yet either. If you had a video it was on a studio grade tape reel.) And all (if any) pictures of us probably went out the door with the girlfriends of the band members after we (not very cordially) ended our musical relationship.
Too bad. It was a really good little group. Haven't done anything I've enjoyed that much since. Sniff!-40hz (October 27, 2014, 01:49 PM)
