No phone list, no todos, no calendar! To keep on working, I decided<!--more--> to make such a nice booklet that I have seen in the Munich underground recently.<br \/>\nFor that purpose I selected in Outlook the 30 most important addresses and printed them by <a href=\"http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/pdfcreator\/\">PDFCREATOR<\/a> to a 3 page PDF (font size 12-14!) using the phone list template. The same procedure for the all active todos using the table template (another 2 pages) while for the calendar items the vertical week view was selected (3 pages).<br \/>\nThese 8 pages are then concatenated by a <a href=\"http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/project\/showfiles.php?group_id=1897&#038;package_id=108733\">Ghostscript<\/a> command<br \/>\n<em>gs -q -sPAPERSIZE=letter -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=out.pdf 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf<\/em><br \/>\nand converted to booklet layout using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pocketmod.com\/news.html\">PdftoPocketMod<\/a> before being printed and folded.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s it, the hard work was only the Outlook formatting. Although it took me 2 hours for setup, any further update will be possible within <1 minute. After all, shouldn't I move to ZEN habits?
