Convert your Docs to PDF

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006 at 10:25 pm

While working on my resume’ this evening, and then wondering how I could convert it to PDF since Microsoft doesn’t have this ability, I found a pretty neat site that will do it for me. It allowed me to convert my .doc file to .pdf on the fly, and it’s emailed to me. Just wish it was downloadable instead. It’s able to handle a variety of other formats as well, including RTF, XLS, PPT, PPS, HTML, PUB and even all the common image formats.

There’s even a program you can download for a free trial. Downside to that is it watermarks your pdf with their logo. I think I’ll just stick with their free web service.

Lots of News

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006 at 11:06 am

First things first. Kari is pregnant. We’ve known for a while now, I just haven’t said anything here. She’s about 2 months, maybe a little more. She’s already scheduled an appointment with the doctor for the beginning of June. We both hope it’s a girl, and if it is, her name will be Addison.

Second.. Her and I are both moving up to Wisconsin near the end of July. We feel it’s going to be a lot easier on us both if we do. Her dad will be able to watch the baby, and she’s got friends who could babysit as well. We’re both going broke down here, and things are much cheaper up there. It being country and all, it’ll definately be a change that is well needed. We’re going to be living with her parents for a few months till we can afford to get out on our own, then we’ll be moving into either a rented townhouse or purchasing a home of our own. Should be interesting.

Other things to say… This website and a few of my others will probably be shut down after this month since I don’t have enough money to pay for the hosting service. I’ve asked for donations from a site I’m hosting and have recieved some, but it’s not enough.

I don’t like to ask for money, but if anyone who reads this happens to want to donate some spare change my way, please feel free to do so.

Soo yeah, that’s about it for now.

Akismet now over 600 comment spam

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006 at 10:51 am

Since I’ve installed Akismet, many, many months ago, it has now caught over 600 spam messages. It’s accidently flagged only a handful of legit comments, which is pretty damn good considering the totals I now have..

I’d like to say thanks to the Wordpress team for keeping me (nearly) spam free!
