Saddleback Leather – Sleeve Wallet

October 19, 2015

I’ve had back problems on and off for a while.  I’ve started going to a chiropractor, and she recommended that I remove the wallet from my back pocket.  It didn’t comfortably carry in the front pocket, so I got a new one that does.  The Saddleback Leather “Sleeve Wallet.”  I know I tagged this Made in USA, but this is actually made in Mexico.  Or at least mine was, they have a USA model now as well.  It holds “up to 12 cards,” though so far I only have three in mine since that is all I need.  I carry license, debit card, and one credit card.  Perfect!  And it fits just right in normal pants pockets without any bulging, even in dress slacks.

I’ve never felt as
Weak nor as strong
As I have
The past week long.

Holding the world up
But can’t stay standing.
No sleep on the menu,
Only labor demanding.

We made it through
And 6 days later,
We’ve found ourselves
In a place way better.

I thank the Lord.
I doubt myself.
I’m not fully sure
What this was all about.

All I know is
I did my best.

Command line combine pdfs

June 16, 2015

The other day I needed to combine some pdf files into a single multi-page file.  I hadn’t done this in linux before, so I did some searching on the ol’ internet.  Sure enough, found an easy solution.  UbuntuGeek.com shared this tool: PDFTK.  This is the perfect tool and works with a little command line magic.

First, install PDFTK with this:  sudo apt-get install gs pdftk

Then run it to combine PDF’s with this: gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOUTPUTFILE=combined.pdf -dBATCH 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf

That command is for where you are combining 1.pdf, 2.pdf, and 3.pdf into one pdf called combined.pdf.

That’s it!
