I’m feeling absolutely exhausted today, after a night of looking after Dorje. It’s not that he stays up all night screaming, rather that I sleep very lightly when I’m looking after him, and don’t go to sleep easily once I am awake. Normally I sleep very deeply, but when I’m awake I’m awake. With Dorje waking up during the night my rest is ruined.<\/p>\n
Onto my day’s diversion. I needed to read some password-protected PDF’s that I’d previously downloaded from php|architect<\/a>. They produce some great articles, and seeing as I’m going to be writing a column for PHP Builder<\/a>, I thought it was time to grease some rust from my PHP brain. Also, since I now have only five working days left at IOL<\/a>, I wanted to download the new PDF’s for the IOL developers before I leave.<\/p>\n It took me longer than I’d hoped. Mandrake’s default, KGhostview, didn’t do the trick, refusing to open the file, nor allowing me the option to open with a password. So I installed KPDF, which seemed the best of the bunch, but sadly version 0.3 seemed to have the same problem (which I believe has been solved with version 0.4, available with KDE 3.4). As luck would have it, Adobe have just released Acrobat Reader for Linux<\/a>, and downloading<\/a> and installing did the trick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m feeling absolutely exhausted today, after a night of looking after Dorje.
