I've spent the bulk of the last 4 days in the house due to ice and snow. Yeah,
here in Dallas. Crazy.
The weather cleared last night, but a call to the airport let me know the runway
had 12" snow drifts. Hmmm. I think the snow will melt before I can make those
skis I was dreaming about, so I'll be patient.
I got so bored that I went through my folder of Lightning newsletters and renamed
each one so the names were consistent. "LN YYYY-MM.pdf" was the pattern, so
"LN 2010-03.pdf" is the March, 2010 issue.
As soon as I finished that, I went online searching for a PDF merge utility. I
found one and proceded to merge all the newsletters from each year into a single
file. "LN 2008-ALL.pdf" for 2008, etc.
Then I merged each of those into "LN 2008-2010-ALL.pdf"
What's the point in all of this? Well, I was contemplating standing up a website
on AdventurePilot.com that would allow searching of the newsletters. But it
occured to me I'd get 90% of the benefits from a single file approach with about
1% of the effort. I like that ratio.
I'll probably just merge in the new newsletters periodically, but until then I
can load "LN 2008-2010-ALL.pdf" and search three years of newsletters easily.
I'll name intermediate merges something like "LN 2008-2011-06.pdf" to indicate
the latest newsletter in the collection.
If anyone hosting the current newsletters would like the merged PDF of 2008-2010,
please let me know and I will send it to you.
And John, nice job on the first newsletter!
