Sometimes I Wish They'd Just Abolish Chairs and Tables and Let Us Sit on the Floor

Apr 23, 2011 09:28

Thursday was a much more eventful day at work, since the paper had gone out and we were starting to get once again swamped with people writing in. All the same, I went on a little walkabout at lunch time - the weather was gorgeous; too nice to sit in the office all day; plus I was hungry and had some photos to pick up.

I like the idea of having a physical, paper form of all my shenanigans (with a cool cover, a-la-real book!) that I can flick through, or even show to people in future. I'm still in the process of transferring all my entries and the page count now exceeds 500...

OpenOffice's PDF function is AWESOME. If I'm not mistaken, a lot of PDF generators out there have to be bought, so it's great that OpenOffice does it for free.

There's a FireFox addon for Livejournal that will download all your entries and tags too if you're worried about losing things.

PS: I think there's actually a program that turns your LJ info into a book. You might want to google it?

I've never heard about the Firefox add-on - though it may be worth looking into. As for the program, I had it a while ago and it didn't work for me. :( It was the one suggested by Blurb. No doubt there are probably more out there, though.

Journals, Men, and Loathing of Hourly Buses awiredwriter April 28 2011, 08:32:02 UTC

I guess he needed a looney night. Sometimes I'm wary of introducing a someone into my wacky group for a similar reason...then, I remember that I wouldn't have likely befriended said person in the first place.

YES..... LOTS OF LOATHING FOR HOURLY BUSES.

OpenOffice has a problem for me when I make bullet points inside of the document. They get lost in translation into MS Word. PDFs make this irrational magic logical.

How long have you been keeping a journal?

My argument is that he should have known what he was signing up for. Apparently the lunacy makes it fun, though (his words, and mine) so it's all good. Most of my friends are relatively normal compared to me so yes, he got the weird one. :]

Also some hate for having to get the last bus back - I always feel really restricted when I go out about St Helens (whereas in Newton I stay out til all hours - hurrr) plus I want to spend more time with Jason and THE BUS WON'T LET ME ARGH. Damn you public transport. *declares war on it*

I've noticed the bullet points thing, as well. But my main issue is these phantom line breaks that keep showing up when I open the document - they throw the layout of the whole thing out of whack and then I have to trawl it page by page fixing it. Not good when the document starts to exceed 500 pages, as mine is doing.

Hoo boy. Since 2007/2008! I have a few handwritten entries knocking about that go a few years earlier, in fact! The result is a lot of writing. I'm actually quite chuffed that I've done so much.
