Google Docs Adds Vector Drawing Ability
Google Docs now has a modicom of vector drawing tools at its disposal.Google has had to wait for browser feature sets to catch up by supporting Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) within the browser though Internet Explorer (including the latest IE8) does still not support this.Where a browser has no SVG support Google will revert to using Vector Markup Language (VML) instead.
A Shallow Wish For The World
“The first thing is not to have more regulation, which is what the G20 seem to be suggesting, but to actually have less so that people can go out there and employ people without huge cost…”
Dr Eamonn Butler, Director, Adam Smith Institute
So you’re still seeing the world and people purely in terms of making a profit from them then?
I Scream Like A Laser Baby
I finally got to hear the demo tapes of what eventually became the briefly released and cleaned up album ‘People from bad homes’. Essentially Ava Cherry was David Bowie‘s backing singer circa Young Americans and briefly his girlfriend. Bowie promised many people that he’d write, produce and generally work on their careers but often these projects seldom saw the light of day. A remixed version of the demo tapes was released very briefly in 1995 by the remnants of Mainman, Bowie’s estranged management company in the 70′s but with Bowie’s voice removed. Here are sections of I am a laser from 1973 with Scream like a baby afterwards which Bowie listeners might recognise as eventually being recycled as Scream like a baby in 1980′s Scary Monsters And Super Creeps album. Here’s a brief comparison of the two.

Low Cost And No Cost PDF Editing
Once in a blue moon you might just want to edit a PDF and not have access to the original document it was created from. Obviously if you need to do this a lot then purchasing the full version of Adobe acrobat is the best solution but free and low cost solutions do exist.
One of these is Sun’s PDF import plugin for OpenOffice. Originally native import of PDF’s was intended to be a standard feature in this free office suite but development did not keep pace with the release timetable. It’s still in beta but can be a useful solution with the right PDF file. For free it’s certainly worth trying.
Open Office is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Windows users may also care to consider downloading a trial of the commercial NitroPDF program.
