    lol, yes I'm growing my moustache! Didn't anyone notice... :o:P Apparently it's making me look more spanish...

    The circle of the clap is where you go and clap and strange things happen... Not to be missed!

    I'm off to shave so people can actually see my moustache... =P

    I'm not sure I agree with the Spanish-look, I'd say you look slightly more Mediterranean than before......?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,269 ✭✭✭cocoa


    Did they kick spain out of the Mediterranean... ?

    I'll have to put up a pick and let everyone have their vote in the moards forum...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 155 ✭✭shinysiren


    I meant Spain is too specific. :p

    In college working since 9am, looks like I'll be here til at least 12am, **** my life.

    Also LaTeX is the worst program ever made, it is so bad, so, so, so bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,269 ✭✭✭cocoa


    LaTeX is great! I hate the way word et al move around diagrams etc for no obvious reason...

    What are you making anyway?

    I gotta go trawl youtube soon then for some clips i would have otherwise recorded myself:( They always play a great set, best live band without a doubt!:)

    About those movies, yeah i've seen Ring-o and Ju-On...very good in the original language. Audition, The Eye, Sympathy for Mr Vengeance/Mrs Vengeance are other good ones too.

    A paper on network performance...
    It takes hours to make a paper in latex, it takes 20 minutes in word!
    If I make an image slightly too bigh in latex, it moves it to a random location!
    Also don't get me started on its use of whitespace. :(

    Ah, you'll learn to love it... =P Is there some requirement for using LaTeX or are you just putting yourself through this? =P

    Ugh! Been baking all evening. I offered for Veg Soc to support Homeless Week (UCD) with a bake sale tomorrow... I've baked:
    17 oat cookies
    14 choc chip cookies
    12 chocolate biscuit men
    and 38 orange chocolate mini muffins.
    All vegan too. And yummy (so deduct a choc biscuit and a muffin from that list ;))

    I think I better get back to it!

    Good to see everyone busy on the forum :)

    Have to use it for my dissertation and for this project. Although I can just make word look like LaTeX so I might do that in future...looking like we will be here til after 12 actually!

    Look at how terrible it is to make a reference in my bad latex skills!
    \bibitem DDoufexi, Angela. Armour, Simon. Lee, Beng-Sin. Nix, Andrew. Bull, David, (2003). \emph{An Evaluation of the Performance of IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g Wireless Local Area Networks in a Corporate Office Environment.}\hskip 1em plus 0.5em minus 0.4em
