16:20.40dankolbEvening
16:21.08TarragonEvening
16:21.45dankolbBwuh. It's annoying when people leave maths coursework until the last moment, and then I have to help them with it
16:22.14TarragonYou mean you never did.
16:39.57dankolbWell......that's beside the point.
16:40.08dankolbI didn't call on others do help / do half the work for me.
16:40.32TarragonAh do as I say not as I do...
16:41.08TarragonWell getting others to do the work surely shows superior intellect on their part.
16:42.34dankolbNot hugely. I only did this much because he's a good (family) friend.
16:43.21dankolbPlus, I never had Maths coursework to do
16:43.26TarragonEmotional blackmail - sure to go far then :-)
16:43.30TarragonWhy not?
16:44.39dankolbDecent course :-P All exam-based
16:46.15TarragonAh - 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.
16:46.21dankolbWell, 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
16:49.16dankolbIt looks *so* much nicer than handwriting :)
16:51.12TarragonYes I quite like lyx. I need to produce CV's for people so I really should look at it again
16:51.53dankolbMy CV is done in LaTeX. It definitely stands out compared to MS Worm
16:56.30TarragonRight I had better go and do some work on the Mac, otherwise I will get shouted at tomorrow. Back in a couple of hours...
16:58.08dankolbHave fun
16:58.20dankolbSee you tomorrow online, probably
16:58.24TarragonIf only - Postfix and C
16:58.37dankolbOh eek
17:00.00skuggdankolb, my is in LaTeX too.
17:00.08skuggs,my,mine,
17:00.23dankolbYeah. Us sensible people using a nice typesetting system :)
17:00.29skuggi write _anything_ that is not represented best in plain ascii in latex :P
17:00.34dankolb(note, saying that, I allow for Lout, too)
17:00.43skuggnever heard about lout
17:00.56dankolbI'd like to, but we're stuck with Docbook at work, as it's apparently easier to learn (bollocks)
17:01.10dankolbskugg: Ah. It's an alternate system :) Quite nice, apparently.
17:01.49dankolbThat 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)
17:02.12skuggi 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
17:02.41skuggknow a bit of METAPOST too now, very nice.
17:02.51dankolbYeah. I've found that 'Essential LaTeX++' and 'The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX 2e' are the only ones I've needed
17:04.02skugg'Essential LaTeX++' is a full book, no?
17:04.42skuggthe not so short one i've read a good few times :)
17:05.30skuggi generally use xdvi `locate symbols.dvi` when I don't remember "texdoc symbols"
17:05.32skugg:)
17:05.49dankolbAh :)
17:06.10dankolbIt's not a full book. 26 pages.
17:06.13skuggokay
17:06.31skuggoh well, i'm damn tired...
17:06.40skuggi'm going to call it a night now.
17:06.40dankolbToo many late nights :)
17:06.45skuggyeah :)
17:06.49skugggood night everyone
17:06.50dankolbG'night, then. Sleep well
17:07.00skuggand you
17:08.00dankolbWill do :)
17:08.13dankolbAnd I'll figure out which gremlin has been stealing my server's memory tomorrow
17:46.05dankolbg'night all

18:50.12TarragonBack at last - now to find chocolate and some games to play.
18:52.53eye69I'm off to bed. Good luck with your cocoquest. :)
18:53.36TarragonMmmm big tin of roses - Sure it is meant to be a present for some one but...
