Yep. And?

Fcuking customers. At what point is it acceptable to tell a major customer he's being a cnut?

You're a disgrace to your fellow bitches

When you no longer need their business.

Watching Banshee on NowTV and for some reason episode 7 refuses to play. 6 was fine and 8 works if I test it but not 7. Brilliant!

I'm trying to write a [LIFTED] of SQL but I keep getting disturbed.

I just ran this beauty:


Yep - I just emptied the table

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is an epic pile of wank and no mistake, at least in terms of the bizarre UI decisions they've made.
For a start, having a panel on the right of the screen that opens every single time you open a new PDF and which contains stuff that I just don't need is annoying. It's especially annoying because this feature cannot, at present be disabled without breaking something else. Apparently Adobe are working on a fix so it'll remember your preference for having the panel open or not from the last time you opened the app and hope to have it done some time in the next 3 months. 3 MONTHS!

The new toolbar icons look very pretty, so much so that they take up much more space than they did previously (I suspect this is so it works better on devices with touch interfaces). Now, this I could deal with if the customisation process wasn't so totally crap.
I work with a lot of PDF's for my job. Most of these are scanned documents and on a regular basis the scans have been performed by someone other than me with scant regard for which way up the pages should be to enable easy reading down the line. Being able to rotate the pages with the click of a button is very useful. Unfortunately while I can add the clockwise and anti-clockwise rotate tools to the toolbar these are only actually visible if I have the window maximised. As I transcribe data from the PDF into something else and currently only have one monitor I can't have the Reader window maximised as it obscures the window I'm transcribing into. Not to worry, there must be a keyboard shortcut... apparently not according to the Adobe website.

Gah!

Acrobat Reader reached its useful peak at 6.0 IIRC. After that, it's adding a load of features that I just don't need. I switched to an alternative at home (can't remember - might have been Nitro).

Alas for work it's a choice of Acrobat or nothing.

we use acrobat and bluebeam, Bluebeam is definitely winning

Adobe Pro in work enjoys rotating pages of a scanned document and/or placing them randomly...

Got to get five inoculations next week.

I wish I had the patience I used to have as a kid - trying to convert TXT files to Mobi with Calibre and it's a case of getting a combo of settings right, so that it stops making paragraphs look like someone's hit the tab key every third line
