New Laptop

I have a new laptop. The previous laptop is still in service.

So, because I’m not that much into hardware, I’ll just say that it still suffices for me so far. I’m more concerned about the software.

I haven’t had time to get Microsoft Office. Either 2007 or 2010. So I’m using OpenOffice, but at the moment it looks terrible for making puzzle grids (I can’t set column width/row height in pixels argh, too lazy to keep converting from pixels to centimeters). Not to mention that I’m too used to MS Office’s ribbon menu. So don’t expect new puzzles for a while, until I get MS Office in.

Better PDF conversion!

Apparently the built-in MS Word 2007’s DOCX to PDF conversion is way better than a dedicated software PrimoPDF’s.

Puzzle 60‘s solution saved under a much smaller file size. 295 kB vs 2802 kB.

Also, Deception has a 24-hour extension, so there is 30.5 hours left. Furthermore, I’m making solutions to select puzzles, depending on popularity, which will be released after the test is finalized (when the score page becomes static and not Flash).
