"Variety Meal" is not about food as it might sound like. "Variety Meal" is just another blog of hundreds of thousands of those online spaces that might contain topics about politics, economy, technology, art, sentiments, news, etc... However, "Variety Meal" might contain a bit from everything. My Mood swings on daily life aspects. I sometimes love to get into technology, others into life style, once into art, and another into politics. "Variety Meal" is as moody and picky as me.
Never thought it could be as easy and simple as this:
1- Under Ubuntu ( I use it) Install ImageMagick through the command:
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
2- Go the JPG directory ( The directory in which you store your JPG)
3- Open Terminal ( Applications >> Accessories >> Terminal ) and type the following command:
convert *.jpg name.pdf
Where name is the desired PDF's name.
That's it.
P.S. If you don't want to install ImageMagick, ubuntu guarantees you even an easier solution:
Open the JPG using the default Gnome Image viewer (Eye of Gnome), click on File, Choose Print, then choose "Print to File" from the available printers, Press Print, and Bingo... You have a PDF copy of your JPG.
Translatey is a lightweight Multilingual Translator Based on Google Translate API.
Imagine you are chatting with friends from different countries, where no one speaks other's language ? Yes, now this is possible using Translatey.
To add Translatey, simply add: translatey@appspot.com to your contacts and whenever you want it to help, just add it to your wave as a prticipant, enjoy speaking your own language, and let Translatey do the translation job.
Translatey is a Robot, it means it only does what you want it to do, however, it provides you with initial help to start translation. The robot asks you to choose from couple of options:
1- Enter (/?) for Help (To list all the available languages and their codes)
2- Or Enter (/!) to view credits and info about author
3- Or Simple enter the language code you want to translate to, example: If I want to make Translatey translate to French, I simple enter the code '''fr''', Translatey then will greet me in French indicating that I can start writing and Translatey is then ready to translate to French, and so on.
Translatey has a built-in '''Auto-Detect''' feature, used in Google Translate, which allows Translatey to detect the creator's language. Example, If I chose French to translate to, then I can write in ANY language, and Translatey will detect my language and translate it to French.
'''Example Screen-shots''':
