How to convert PDF eBooks to images for reading on your mobile

eBooks to Images
Amazon Kindle schmindle. We've been reading eBooks on handheld devices for ages. There are some great eBook readers for Windows Mobile and PalmOS that let you read TXT, HDML, PDF, PDB, LIT, and other file formats. But things get a bit more challenging if you want to read your eBooks on an iPod or other MP3 player. Most of these devices don't come with web browsers or eBook raders.

That's where eBook to Images comes in. This free application lets you convert a wide variety of text files into images. You can adjust the font, image size, and image format (PNG, BMP, or JPG) and convert hundreds of pages of text into hundreds of little images in no time flat. Just copy the resulting folders onto your portable device and you can scroll through a series of images to read your books while waiting at the doctor's office.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
