Return to LaTeX
on February 12, 2010 by lieven in iMath, Comments (3)
To most mathematicians, a good LaTeX-frontend (such as TeXShop for Mac-users) is the crucial tool to get the work done. We use it to draft ideas, write papers and courses, or even to take notes during lectures.
However, after six years of blogging, my own LaTeX-routine became rusty. I rarely open a new tex-document, and [...]
Snow leopard + wordpress + latex problem
on October 1, 2009 by lieven in iMath, mac, Comments (0)
Ever since I’ve upgraded to Snow Leopard I’ve been having problems with the webserver.
At first there were the ‘obvious’ problems : mysql-connection lost and php-error message. These were swiftly dealt with using the excellent Snow Leopard, Apache, PHP, MySQL and Wordpress! advice from ‘tady’.
Right now, access to this blog is extremely slow (and often [...]
introducing : the n-geometry cafe

It all started with this comment on the noncommutative geometry blog by “gabriel” :
Even though my understanding of noncommutative geometry is limited, there are some aspects that I am able to follow. I was wondering, since there are so few blogs here, why don’t you guys forge an alliance with neverending books, you blog about [...]

Last time I promised to come back explaining how to set-up LaTeX-support, figuring I had to tell you about a few modifications I had to make in order to get Latexrender run on my mac…
A few google searches made it plain how out of touch I am on these matters (details below). But [...]

It is always great to hear about new and clever ways to use blogs and the internet to promote (and hopefully do) science better. So, I’m a keen consumer of the Flash-presentations of the talks at the Science in the 21st century conference. Bee of Backreaction is one of the organizers and has a [...]

Exactly one year ago this blog was briefly renamed MoonshineMath. The concept being that it would focus on the mathematics surrounding the monster group & moonshine. Well, I got as far as the Mathieu groups…
After a couple of months, I changed the name back to neverendingbooks because I needed the freedom to post on any [...]

One computer and one system-upgrade ago, I tried to convince people to set up their own MOPP (My Online Publications Page).
The essence of such pages is that they need an update, once in a while… I’m a bit embarrassed to admit it, but, I failed to re-install the package, following my own instructions.
Fortunately, there are [...]
