10:47 pm - Quick bleg I'm looking for some free software that can take a directory of .jpgs and merge them into a single pdf. I use to have a command-line tool installed on my computer at UMN that fulfilled this task, but I can't seem to find anything to do it. Oh, yes, obviously it must be A: free and B: not watermark the pages. Suggestions? Thanks! Tags: blegs, jpg, pdf, software

12:48 pm - Recommendation? I am looking for rechargeable batteries, and am looking for recommendations from someone who knows more than I do. Basically, my need is very simple: because of concerns of electrical noise, I have a ton of battery-powered LED lamps in the Faraday cage I use in the lab for my voltammetry experiments. However, they tend to drain battery life relatively quickly so I want to be a bit more economic and get a bunch of rechargeable AAA's. My sole point of interest is that I want to get maximum brightness from the lamps as long as possible on each charge--it's pretty clear so far that the lights dim rather quickly and then can maintain in the almost-too-dim-to-be-useful state indefinitely. I *don't* really care about how long the batteries last before they stop holding a charge, as this is on the lab dime. It would be nice to not have to replace them once a year or whatever, but on the scale of expenditures I contribute to the lab, that one is pretty tiny. So I *think* that the value I care about is the milliampere-hour of each battery... but I'm not certain. Can anyone contribute thoughts and/or opinions? Are there other battery traits I should be concerning myself with? Tags: batteries, blegs, grad school, research, science

12:32 am - Looking for available crash space... ...for just myself in the Twin Cities area around the last weekend of July. Probably getting in late the 23rd or mid-day the 24th, leaving mid-the following week. In exchange, the best I can offer is grocery money, companionship, my own sleeping bag, and the fact that I'll almost definitely have a car rented while I'm there. Let me know via comments or email if you have space. Tx in advance. Current Music: Spahn Ranch - Architecture in Dub: I. Scarpa, II. Fuller, III.
