Lost amongst the geeks

I have my office LAN configured as a Public Domain Network; Yeah I know, I should've made it Work. My bad. But the problem is the Network Discovery feature is unavailable and even if I enable this via the Network and Sharing center it doesn't get activated. So I have to manually type in the computer names, IPs. Or else I should remove/forget the network and reconfigure it as Work domain and I don't know how to do it either :-( Should Google... :-)

I needed to submit a book to Springer and they wanted figures in .eps format. I had all my figures embedded in latex so had to find a way of converting all pdf to eps. So here goes the script I found online. OK, but I had many pdf figures. So this simple command will help to iterate through all pdf images in the folder and pass it to the above script after removing the .pdf extension. ls | grep pdf | while read x; do pdf2eps 1 ${x%.*}; done
