How to convert a collection of JEPG files into a PDF, on Windows 7, for free

I am not going to tell you why you need to do it. Instead I just tell you how to.
  • Download and install CutePDF Writer for free.
  • On Windows Explorer, select all the JPEG file that you want to convert to a PDF. And then right click on the FIRST page (001.jpg), and select PRINT.
  • On the "Print Pictures" window, select "CutePDF Writer" as the printer, "Screen" as paper size and "600dpi" (default) as quality.
  • UNCHECK "Fit picture to frame"
  • Once done, select the result PDF file.
  • If you find that the orientation of the page is messed up, you can correct it by: a. installing PDF-Excahnge Viewer , b. Run the app, and select [Document][Rotate Pages...], and select "All" for pages. c. Save the document
Happy PDFking (.....)

自揭私隱

剛下載的寫 blog 軟件有加入寫作地點的功能,所以用這個 post 來試一試。自願加入地點還可以接受,但如果軟件不徵詢過用戶而自行記錄下寫作地點,那就要不得了。

Another reason to cut fingernail

Found another reason to cut fingernail frequently: it makes my fingers work great with my iPad.

Here's why I should cut my fingernail

Every once in a while, I will try out some harmless "what if". Recently I tried not cutting my fingernail, just to see how long I can stand it. I survived for 2 weeks, but finally give in today because of a practical reason: it's extremely hard to take off contact lens with long fingernail without hurting your eye ball.

Merely 2.5Gb for a month

With only 16 hours left, my first month of unlimited wireless Internet connection for iPad will be expired. The plan will automatically renew itself, so unless I explicitly cancel it, I will continue enrolling in the unlimited data plan. Question comes as I always thought that as a super heavy iPad user, I may use super among of bandwidth each month, and thus will be quite painful an experience for me to use one of those new limited AT&T data plan.

So guess how much 3G wireless data I used on the first month?

2.5 Gb.

To me, that's really darn a low number judge by how much I use my iPad, and also that with my 3G only experiment on the first 2 days, my usage was almost 1Gb.

Od course, the number is low mostly because I turned on WiFi most of the time, and iPad will automatically use WiFi as much as possible. If I really want to abuse the system, I can simply turn off WiFi and keep sucking data from 3G network as much as possible. But then 3G is supposed to be a limited resources, which means the MORE I consume the 3G resources, the less is available for people around me. So I tend to think that I should conserve my usage, unless I am around ***k head iPhone users that really piss me off, then I will turn on my downloading app and continuously downloading games with 350Kb/s speed.





wonder how heavy I will use
