Thanks :-)

I'll try to set up a page on the emacswiki tonight where I can upload the code
and a couple of PDF examples.

You need to install pdfjam. Most distros have it. Otherwise get it from
http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/staff/academic/firth/software/pdfjam.

You basically just type make :-). This will produce two pdfs: pocketMod.pdf and
hipsterPDA.pdf.

pocketMod.pdf can be folded and cut according to the instructions on
pocketmod.com. In my experience it is much to small to be usefull. More tweaking
(e.g. with the fonts is needed).

hipsterPDA.pdf gives you two pages that you can cut in four sheets each. This
will give you eight sheets of size A6 (105mm x 148mm), which can then be clipped
together in the style of the hipster pda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipster_PDA).
