It is that moment in time when someone (maybe yourself!) decide it’s time to change the style of the presentations… and they send you a (more or less) nice PowerPointTM template. Obviously, you want it in LaTeX — to use all your nice math or TikZ drawing: let’s see how can design your beamer […] 
I am trying to embed a full Jupyter notebook here… it should be more or less auto-explicative. Please comment if you need help! Ok, so now: what new nice prime lens should I buy? explore_data /*! * * Twitter Bootstrap * */ /*! * Bootstrap v3.3.7 (http://getbootstrap.com) * Copyright 2011-2016 Twitter, Inc. […] 
I know that the standard policy in Ubuntu is to offer the upgrade from an old LTS to a new one when the new LTS reaches .1, i.e., 16.04.1, but well… I upgraded my 14.04 in several machines, and I can signal these almost show-stopper problems (workaround exists for all of them, though): on […] 
Update: there is a version on github now, and I submitted it to CTAN… After reading the (very) fun post about colors name at xkcd, I decided to create a small package to add the color list to my LaTeX documents… After circumventing a small bug in xcolor, and ten lines of python, I […] 
I do not know you, but me (as an engineer) use Greek letters like α, β, γ and so on quite often. I did a small change to my linux keyboard layout: the new part in the keyboard symbols files now is partial alphanumeric_keys xkb_symbols “standard_tlde” { include “es(basic)” key <TLDE> { [ grave, asciitilde, […] PPAs are really a great thing in Ubuntu: they allow you to have quite recent programs without upgrading all your system; most Ubuntu users use them extensively. They have just one problematic side — the havoc that can happen on an upgrade. You see, when you upgrade your system, PPAs are disabled, but the program […] 
Ok, so I am a computer dinosaur. I still use xfig for much of my drawings, although I recon it is a program from the old century… Unfortunately, after the recent upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04, a nasty bug surfaced in xfig: a crash whenever you try to draw point-dashed lines. Fortunately, the launchpad user madHamish […]
Or: how to define a programmer-friendl(er) Spanish keyboard. …and you can add Greek, too! A bit of history There was a time when the computers all had the same keyboard — basically, the US one. You really do not need any more; the set of characters that could be represented where, after all, just the […] 
This is (I think) the correct way of doing what I tried to do with an extension. My objective was to reduce a bit the size of the gnome shell top bar, and especially the font size.
The correct way is to use a “user” theme. What I did is to create […] 
One of the thing I never got to understand is why the Gnome desktop do not have the option (present in KDE) to use the content of a directory to randomly pick an image for the “wallpaper” of the desktop. There are a lot of solution outside, but I would like to share with you […] |
