Herro Flom Japan

Hint: It doesn't belong to any of my coworkers.
Another hint: My boss's desk is even worse. (I like him.)

Here at work I'm occasionally asked to make unreasonably difficult changes to PDF documents for which we don't have access to the original editiable versions. For example, "Richard-san, here's the updated version of page 23 from the 150 page CEA brochure. Please relpace it."

How the heck do I do that? I'll tell you how. PDFTK. It's a freeware command line tool that'll let you, for example, split a document into pages 1-22 and 24-end, then make a new document consisting of pages 1-22, the new page 23 and pages 24-end.

If you want to convert a document to PDF I recommend the freeware Cute PDF Writer. It works like a print driver and you print to it just like a printer, but instead of it coming out on paper you save it as a PDF file on your hard drive. Install it on every workstation in your office and save the company thousands in Adobe Distiller licensing fees. (Just don't expect anyone to thank you…)

I grew up listening to WMMR in Philadelphia. I just rediscovered it through a Yahoo Widget that's streaming it into my brain, and I'm happy. It still deserves its long-standing reputation as one of the best rock radio stations in the US. It doesn't have the homogonized sound of every ClearChannel-owned station. It's as if MMR's playlist were put together not by a computer, but rather by someone who loves head-bangin', air guitar-playin', hair band world tour t-shirt wearin' rock music. Imagine that.

I can hear it clearer in Tokyo than I ever could over the airwaves. Here in my little world of earbuds and laptop screen, I don't feel at all like I'm on the other side of the planet. It's as though I could walk out of the office down to the local Wa-Wa and buy myself a hoagie and a slurpee for lunch.

Update: Cool, the DJ said my name over the radio. I'm like, famous to the tens of people listening at 3am local time.

OK all you Mixi invaders, try to find the Herro Flom Japan community and join it.

Someone who joined wrote their self-intro in Japanese using machine translation. It's a bit like haiku by e.e. cummings.
