In the past, I’ve described the benefits of a slide show based on html. I used to prefer the html5 method over S5, but after some use, I’ve come to realize that the html5 method (at least the one described here) isn’t ready for prime time yet. The display of the slides can get screwy…. Read more »
Despite the availability of softwares such as Mendeley, Zotero, and JabRef, I like to store my papers (pdf files) and citation information (bib files) using a directory stucture, enter notes into a text file (org-mode), view notes and bibliographic information using a single file, cite references in LaTeX from a single bib file, and manage… Read more »
I recently had frustrations with presentations written using MS Powerpoint; I’m not even going to mention KeyNote as it is only available on a Mac. LibreOffice is my WYSIWYG editor on my Linux machine for writing quick and nicely formatted content. I also have MS Office installed on my machine using WINE. I sometimes use… Read more »
File associations in Linux can be tricky. On my Gnome-based Ubuntu machine, I can associate a filetype by right-clicking a file in Nautilus, and slecting “Open with”. To modify the defaults using config files, this post describes it well. Basically, the two main locations to check out are /usr/share/applications/defaults.list and ~/.local/share/applications/. File associations made using… Read more »
I use LaTeX Beamer whenever I write a a presentation because I’m familiar with LaTeX and want to keep up with the skillset, I prefer to write in plain text, especially in emacs, and I don’t have to spend time working on the how the presentation looks and just have to worry about content. I… Read more »
I recently read this on reddit. I adapted the script on there to convert multiple org-mode files to html files. If you use it make sure you adapte the location of org-mode and your org.el file. Enjoy. #! /bin/bash ## http://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/dy9yt/anyone_know_of_a_script_that_i_can_feed_an/ ## http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-bash2.html ## http://desk.stinkpot.org:8080/tricks/index.php/2007/02/concatenate-strings-in-bash/ f=”" for file in “$@” do ##emacs –batch -q –no-site-file… Read more »
So I’ve decided to move my technical blog to wordpress, the .org version, not the .com version; that is, to host my own instance of wordpress. The move came from various reasons: syntax highlighting for soure codes, LaTeX support for my stat/math display, post via email, post via emacs, text-to-html syntax for blogging (think org-mode),… Read more »
This method worked for me, and this didn’t. I added the following in my .emacs file: ;; Emacs server on by default (server-start) ;; http://metajack.im/2008/12/30/gtd-capture-with-emacs-orgmode/?dsq=13708223#comment-13708223 ;; together with the apple script C-M-\ anywhere in Mac to bring up the *remember* buffer ;; C-c C-c to save in ~/.notes and close; (require ‘remember) (defadvice remember-finalize (after…
So I’ve recently discovered org-mode for emacs. I don’t need to put much references up as a simple google search for org-mode should yield many references, especially its home page (there, u can find many references to start using org-mode). It has many features, but what I personally will use often is outlining and taking… Read more »
