it's not that bad, honestly, i had my whole 4gb ram occupied once ... and each program was less than 100mb ram ... It was like:

  • 2 games open (!@#$%^&* ppl interrupting me all the time),
  • office (for my reports and all),
  • jbuilder (for java programming needed for my project),
  • vb6 (the occasional programming bit when i was distracted and thought of something to change in 1 of my 140 different projects, such as xdcc download manager annoying me again ^^),
  • paint shop pro (taking screenshots to add to my report),
  • 2-3 msn windows (ppl bugging me for once, that's a lot for me, usually noone starts a conversation with me .. wonder why blum.gif ),
  • yahoo messenger (to use voice conference with my friends (just the 2),
  • few notepads (usually for viewing source code of webpages or todo list or something),
  • percobol (had to make cobol stuff for projects),
  • 2-3 internet explorers (yay for tabs, else there would be 10+, had to look up stuff, randomly view favs, etc),
  • thunderbird (check my inbox for sporadically rare emails),
  • azureus & xdcc download manager (for episodes downloading)

.. and that's about it

I didn't. MSPaint was up because I was going to paste a picture of another screenshot.

 

And if you look at the Continuum window it shows most of my names logged in (multiclient 20+).

ROFL

 

wow

 

Have 3 columns of excel files... 4 NOW OMG LOL

 

I'm running a macro that prints spec sheets ... and it has to open a bunch of excel files to print them... forgot to make it close them after lol. I just generated 135 pdf files in like... 3 minutes WOOHOO FINALLY

(printing a paper version automatically was easy... but printing pdfs was a pain in the !@#$%^&*; you can't specify the pdf filename from Excel... you have to make it print a postscript file (which you can name), then throw it in Acrobat Distiller to make a pdf)

 

 

 

Also, all these excel files were generated programmatically (sp?) from an equipment list

for work

 

well, internship (lol I typoed 'intern!@#$%^&*' ...), so it's indirectly for school blum.gif

 

but anywah, our university has 3 semesters per year, 3x 4 months, so we have a summer semester. But our program includes 3 paid internships

 

 

I printed these things today at work, but I wasn't able to print the pdfs for the reasons stated above, and had to finish that tonight... And now I realise that even if I wanted to, I couldn't have done it at work; cause I had to go through Adobe Distiller, and I don't have it at work, and I'm not admin on my computer either (yet)

hmmm you could have used cutepdf writer (virtual printer), I think it has an option to save automatically the default name, which is the !@#$%^&*le of the do!@#$%^&*ent or in excel the filename

by default, most of the pdf printers do use the name of the file by default. However, I needed to change that; I needed it to have the name of the excel SHEET, not the excel workbook.

 

And with all the googling I did, this was the only solution that worked.

 

Oh, and cutepdf sucks blum.gif I remember printing some office do!@#$%^&*ents and they always came out wrong and full of glitches. I trust Adobe Profesionnal much more blum.gif

paid isn't bad, you get a decent CV and money in one :(

 

Ah god!@#$%^&*it, i have to do an internship next year 2nd semester ( feb-end may) and i don't get paid anything :/. I hope i can at least bring in the costs of transportation
