Weekend Roundup February 5, 2010
The Weekend Roundup is a short list of links that is sent out every Friday (USA time). This is where I get to share things I run across that are interesting, fun, or useful, where any topic, tech related or not, is fair game.
Worldwide Real Time Earthquake Tracking
This site, put together by the U.S. Geological Survey and other contributing agencies, has all sorts of interesting tools and information on tracking earthquakes and related areas.

Cooking with......bing?
New browser-on-the-block Bing recently rolled out a new feature - detailed recipe results. Bing pulls from a number of popular recipe websites (delish.com, MyRecipes.com, epicurious.com, etc.) to bring you correlating recipes that you can sift through by holiday, meals, ratings, ingredient, convenience and much more. Just go to www.bing.com and start searching.

PDFmyURL converts any webpage into a PDF
I've been using this neat web app to save web pages as PDF's. There are several other web apps like this but this one works well. It saves all (and I do mean all) of what's on the webpage with no weird formatting or breaks. Advanced options allow you to control the page size, orientation, and more.
I use the bookmarklet - drag it to your bookmark toolbar. Click on the bookmarklet when you want to save a webpage. It's that easy.

There is a webpage to pdf converter that I've been trying to search again but cannot after I forgot to backup the bookmarklet and reinstall Opera. If you know please tell me. It's special ability is that you can select and delete sections of the page like I don't want this sidebar/header/comment/etc. It has also one click no image. The website I remember is really simple and nice with some words about it and a bookmarklet. That's all.
Might be a webpage editor: PrintWhatYouLike?
No, it's not but I found some good alternatives just now. PrintWhatYouLike is one of it but it is for much more complex editing and need 2 clicks to manually trim page. But it is still useful for me too.
I found an alternative with the same simple functions of what I was using(click on sections to delete and one click no image):
The Printliminator(cannot give link but google is fast)
Just that it is for printing and no direct save as pdf but since I have a print to pdf software, it works just as well.
Thanks. Printliminator works quite well and fast. Anyway, I tried to, say, totally remove the horizontal background banner of this current page and I seem can't get it to work. Any hints?
Ya, I tried a few page and it doesn't seem able to remove the background image/colour but it'll be removed if you click "apply print stylesheet".
February again?
Time Warp?
currently i use Cute PDF but would PDFmyUrl be a better choice for saving webpages?
There are a few web applications that save web pages as PDF's, but this is the best one I've come across. It does save everything on the page - ads included - if there's a "Print" option on the web page I use that as there are usually fewer ads.
I haven't used Cute PDF - if it saves web pages, I would grab a web page using each and see which one you like.
Is it February again...?
I don't think so.......I don't know what happened. Server hiccup?
This Daily Tech Treats reached my inbox on March 18, yet the title of the Tech Treats reads as "Weekend Roundup February 5, 2010" The server must have held up this treats by more than one month, or to be specific, 41 days?
I received it on March 18th too.
I'm guessing server as well, guessing being the operative word here. :)
If, like me, you have great difficulty knowing which day it is, then the month becomes even less important :)
