====   * OCLUG live distro ====

      * [[livedistro:scottmurphy20170321|Investigation of EFI boot (S Murphy)]]
      * [[livedistro:jn170424|Attempts to configure graphical interface (J Nash)]]

====   * viewing Comment information in a JPG file browser ====

      * This investigation was prompted by a need to quickly check the captions saved in JPG files. After some exchange on the linux _at_ oclug.on.ca list, I recorded what I found, including a nice simple tool built on the **feh** package. See {{ :wiki:scanjpgwoes.pdf |}}. Because the Irfanview program for Windows (32 bit particularly) is useful for both Linux and Windows, documentation of how to use it to view JPG Comments in full-screen mode is presented separately as {{ :wiki:viewjpgcmt.pdf |}}.

====   * removing restrictions on pdf files ====

      * TD seems in 2017 to have started to put restrictions on pdf statement files. It is useful to be able to delete boilerplate and add in payment records using **pdfshuffler**. Here is a recipe. {{ :wiki:fixpdfrestrictions.pdf |}}
