       @icedquinn Reminds me of when I worked at a place where people were complaining about having to make PDFs every week -- realised they were doing it by hand. As they were relatively basic in format, I shoved the stuff through pandoc and automated it. One of them had the look like he couldn't tell if he wanted to be angry at me or happy. :')

       @icedquinn @siina I wrote a couple of simple python scripts at work to make customized PDFs for various people and they though it was black magic. It also emailed the PDFs.
