16:20.40 | dankolb | Evening |
16:21.08 | Tarragon | Evening |
16:21.45 | dankolb | Bwuh. It's annoying when people leave maths coursework until the last moment, and then I have to help them with it |
16:22.14 | Tarragon | You mean you never did. |
16:39.57 | dankolb | Well......that's beside the point. |
16:40.08 | dankolb | I didn't call on others do help / do half the work for me. |
16:40.32 | Tarragon | Ah do as I say not as I do... |
16:41.08 | Tarragon | Well getting others to do the work surely shows superior intellect on their part. |
16:42.34 | dankolb | Not hugely. I only did this much because he's a good (family) friend. |
16:43.21 | dankolb | Plus, I never had Maths coursework to do |
16:43.26 | Tarragon | Emotional blackmail - sure to go far then :-) |
16:43.30 | Tarragon | Why not? |
16:44.39 | dankolb | Decent course :-P All exam-based |
16:46.15 | Tarragon | Ah - sorry thought you meant homework. No course work in my day - Not sure whether it is a good thing or not. Very hard to be subjective over whether courses are harder now. |
16:46.21 | dankolb | Well, not really emotional blackmail. He was happy to go back and write it up on his own, but I persuaded him to stay a bit longer, and work on it a bit more, and also LaTeX the coursework |
16:49.16 | dankolb | It looks *so* much nicer than handwriting :) |
16:51.12 | Tarragon | Yes I quite like lyx. I need to produce CV's for people so I really should look at it again |
16:51.53 | dankolb | My CV is done in LaTeX. It definitely stands out compared to MS Worm |
16:56.30 | Tarragon | Right I had better go and do some work on the Mac, otherwise I will get shouted at tomorrow. Back in a couple of hours... |
16:58.08 | dankolb | Have fun |
16:58.20 | dankolb | See you tomorrow online, probably |
16:58.24 | Tarragon | If only - Postfix and C |
16:58.37 | dankolb | Oh eek |
17:00.00 | skugg | dankolb, my is in LaTeX too. |
17:00.08 | skugg | s,my,mine, |
17:00.23 | dankolb | Yeah. Us sensible people using a nice typesetting system :) |
17:00.29 | skugg | i write _anything_ that is not represented best in plain ascii in latex :P |
17:00.34 | dankolb | (note, saying that, I allow for Lout, too) |
17:00.43 | skugg | never heard about lout |
17:00.56 | dankolb | I'd like to, but we're stuck with Docbook at work, as it's apparently easier to learn (bollocks) |
17:01.10 | dankolb | skugg: Ah. It's an alternate system :) Quite nice, apparently. |
17:01.49 | dankolb | That saying, a lot of systems have their typesetting system. VMS has one of its own, Unix/Linux has LaTeX/Lout (later ported to almost everything, well, TeX anyway) |
17:02.12 | skugg | i get stuck sometimes with LaTeX, but most of it has excellent documentation -- it's just so much of it that it's hard to wade through it all |
17:02.41 | skugg | know a bit of METAPOST too now, very nice. |
17:02.51 | dankolb | Yeah. I've found that 'Essential LaTeX++' and 'The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX 2e' are the only ones I've needed |
17:04.02 | skugg | 'Essential LaTeX++' is a full book, no? |
17:04.42 | skugg | the not so short one i've read a good few times :) |
17:05.30 | skugg | i generally use xdvi `locate symbols.dvi` when I don't remember "texdoc symbols" |
17:05.32 | skugg | :) |
17:05.49 | dankolb | Ah :) |
17:06.10 | dankolb | It's not a full book. 26 pages. |
17:06.13 | skugg | okay |
17:06.31 | skugg | oh well, i'm damn tired... |
17:06.40 | skugg | i'm going to call it a night now. |
17:06.40 | dankolb | Too many late nights :) |
17:06.45 | skugg | yeah :) |
17:06.49 | skugg | good night everyone |
17:06.50 | dankolb | G'night, then. Sleep well |
17:07.00 | skugg | and you |
17:08.00 | dankolb | Will do :) |
17:08.13 | dankolb | And I'll figure out which gremlin has been stealing my server's memory tomorrow |
17:46.05 | dankolb | g'night all |
