Monks
- Written by Brigit
YouTube is full of clips about Helpdesks and see-how-stupid-they-are end users. This one, eavesdropping on the introduction of the bound book, is different. The difference is, this one is really funny!

Codex Toolbox
- Written by Matthew
Some years ago we developed an extremely cost-effective way for a small publishing house to publish their print products on CD Rom. That client has since decided to publish on the Internet rather than on CD Rom, but the project is still one I'm rather proud of.
PDF & Perl
- Written by Matthew

I like to use Perl for manipulating and modifying PDF files outside Acrobat, and to this end have developed a Perl module that is constantly being expanded.
