Roff Report: Paper Edition

Hi folks,

I converted the Roff Report to a PDF document and a Word document for your viewing pleasure. The idea is to have a more permanent record of the writings on the the blog, but I discourage you from printing it at the moment. It's 1000 pages long!

I put it into three seperate documents (one for each year), available in two formats. The PDF is great because you can click on the month, or the name of the story and it will take you right there. Once you are there you can click on the comments link and it should open up a web page to show you the comments. Also, most pictures are links that will take you to the web for a larger version.

What I need is an industrious Roff or two to download the word document files and go through and fix up all the formating. We want to get rid of unecessary gaps and make sure it looks consistent.

If you can volunteer for one of the documents that would be great, let us know in the comments. Then email it to roff.report@gmail.com and I will convert the final versions into a PDF.

We should print and bind at least one copy for the Roff archives.

PDF Versions

Roff Report 2006 PDF
Roff Report 2007 PDF
Roff Report 2008 PDF

Word Versions

Roff Report 2006 Word
Roff Report 2007 Word
Roff Report 2008 Word

Clicking on the links above will take you to a file hosting site. The files are totally safe to download. Just click "Click here to start download". There might be a bunch of ads or something asking you if you want to scan your own PC etc. Please avoid these.

I'm away for a week at Magnetic Island but will devote my attention to this as soon as I get back. I'll do whatever everyone else doesn't do.

Oh - forgot to say: really good idea, Adam. Lots of families in the post digital camera era are finding they don't actually keep any hard records. There are families whose family photograph collection stopped in 1996 and they have no idea where all the digital images they took since have gone..

Works for me. Email them to adam.roff@gmail.com

If you are really keen, you can download the high resolution images for each post. For most of them, open in word and hold down 'Ctrl' and click on the picture. It should take you to the larger version on the web. Replace the one in the document for this.

If that is too hard you are just making spaces after images etc.

Don't worry about the table of contents, I will do this automatically.

Shouldn't take too long, there isn't much to do. Ta!
