For you Gentoo users out there, if you have problems with Adobe Reader (acroread) saying that some rights have been disabled because the document was changed, try re-emerging acroread with the 'ldap' USE flag enabled:

USE='ldap' emerge -av acroread

This oddly named useflag (in this case) enables the Adobe Security Plugin, which coincidentally, enables the rights management.

Don't use the int64 version of ACML unless you're using INTEGER*8 in your fortran code. Otherwise, you'll get random crashes. This is in the user guide somewhere, but should probably be made explicit when choosing which to download.

I have a blog!

So I've moved into the 21st century and started a blog, wheee!
