How I kill time…. :)

Handling multiple pdf’s can be a pain, and combining multiple pdf’s is not as easy as merging doc files. So how to achieve this?

The simplest and the fastest way is using pdftk. Install Ubuntu if you are not a regular user, install this on a VirtualBox image and install pdftk on your instance by typing

sudo apt-get install pdftk

Once the installation is complete, you can now start merging pdf files on the fly by using the following command

pdftk *.pdf cat output merged.pdf

or

pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf cat output merged.pdf

There are mutiple options to this which you can find out using man or using google

The default desktop for the VNC Server is “TWM”, though most people are used to KDE or Gnome instead. Here is how to change it:

Edit ~/.vnc/xstartup
For KDE, replace “twm &” with “startkde &”
For Gnome, replace “twm &” with “exec gnome-session &”
Kill any existing VNC servers with “vncserver -kill xx” where xxx is the display number.
Start a new server.

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

-William Ernest Henley
