Rocking Singapore music blog

Rock In The Fine City is a blog for Singapore music fans. Specifically, the blog deals with Singapore music from the 80s to the 90s. This was the era of great local music and during that time, BigO was the rag that chronicled that era. The blog contains album reviews of albums such as that for the New School Rock CD, Humpback Oak's Pain-stained Morning (still a great album) and Daze's Sexy Little Boy EP (I've lost my cassette version and wished that I bought a CD version at that time. I'm still looking for the CD version.) Great memories for those who were there at that time.

My first Moleskine

My first Moleskine
Originally uploaded by Gremlink.

I've first read and seen these paper notebooks in some of the pictures found on the "what's in your bag" Flickr group. They look nice, classy, and after doing a bit of research on them, I found that those folk using these notebooks really love them. When I was in Amsterdam last year, I saw these on sale and so I bought a pocket size plain version. Since I am going to Paris and London on holiday, I decided to open up the Moleskine and use it as a notebook for this trip.

So, this will be my first Moleskine and although I have not started using it, I'm beginning to love the smooth feel of the cover and the heft of this pocket book.

Do stuff with PDF files

The sad thing about PDF documents is that they are fixed. However, there's actually a tool that lets you manipulate PDF files. Called PDFTK, it's a command line tool that lets you merge and split PDF files. If you're intimidated by the command line interface, there's a GUI front-end for this tool called GUIPDFTK. Nifty.
