so they do
prefer left so far
also: do you run tex from inside vim? or do you switch to texshop?
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 17:54 (thirteen years ago) link
i run texshop from inside vim, see your favorite little computer program hoonja-doonja (mac version)
― caek, Wednesday, 1 December 2010 17:55 (thirteen years ago) link
aha, thx

you know about configure for external editor, right?
Open a .tex file in your favourite editor. Open TeXShop and choose Open for Preview from the file menu. Choose the same .tex file you opened in your editor. TeXShop will compile the file and open the PDF if it doesn’t already exist. You can then Cmd-Tab between the editor and TeXShop, making changes in your editor then using the Cmd-T shortcut in TeXShop to typeset the file.If you would like to make this behaviour the default in TeXShop then tick the “Configure for External Editor” option in its Preferences.

no!
haven't used texshop in a minute, and was never a power user. might be co-writing a paper soon, though, and figured i should get up to speed
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 18:09 (thirteen years ago) link
ok, configure for external is the important bit. that vim trick is just a quick way to bring up texshop from vim.

p.s. congrats on paper!

oh i like this v much
xp thx! still in preliminary stages, but if it goes my way i'll get to write up a procedural paper on a surgery i got into a few weeks ago. nothing hueg, but the only publications i've gotten have been fucking MINI catalogs and BMW internal newsletters, you know?

I'm a bottom.
defaults write com.apple.dock pinning -string end

growl?
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 19:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Hate Growl. Apple goes to extraordinary lengths to make the OS intuitive and useable and Growl goes and turns the whole thing into Windows XP.

It beats bouncing dock icons, imo
― mh, Wednesday, 1 December 2010 22:49 (thirteen years ago) link
I hide my dock most of the time. I use MoofMenu to put a pulldown menu of my most used apps so I can open apps from the menu bar like the good old days.
And I use Mailplane for my gmail, which puts a pulldown menu in the menu bar with an icon that changes color and ads a badge for emails.
I also use iTunes menu so whatever is playing at the time appears in the menu bar.
I only occasionally need to drag a file onto an application folder in the dock.

I still don't under stand why Mac never thought it was a good idea to have a task bar so that you can switch between windows of open programs without havin g to close every window on top or go hunting for the window you want. Also isn't it funny to think as has been pointed out, if you actually filled an ipod classic with music you legally bought , how much you would have spent? HAHa. Also, fuck this shit about being able to read but not write to NTFS!

how does the apple student discount work when ordering online? do you need an NUS no.? and I presume you can get one on the air (I know you couldn't on the ipad)
― mo loko (cozen), Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:32 (thirteen years ago) link
you need a university IP.

weird. here you just click the option that says "i'm a student" and it takes you into the educational store. and when i bought something at an actual apple store with my student discount they didn't even check an ID or ask for any confirmation, they just took me at my word.
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:37 (thirteen years ago) link
uk discount is bigger and involves government tax law, so they're a bit stricter
― caek, Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:38 (thirteen years ago) link
it's pretty easy to get though. i must have bought ten macbooks for friends.
just select 'education store' then 'school or any other education establishment', they never check
― Jefferson Mansplain (DG), Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:39 (thirteen years ago) link
ahhh, clever
so if I (or a friend) can order from a uni IP that's sufficient? ie no student matric card check on delivery?
― mo loko (cozen), Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:39 (thirteen years ago) link
depends on exchange rather, but an education discounted mac is sometimes cheaper in the uk than the us, and it comes with nearly free applecare.
cozen, no. there's never a check once the order is placed in my experience.
― caek, Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:40 (thirteen years ago) link
"rather" = "rate" (drunk)
uni discount is 15% DG, which is a lot bigger than the 'school etc' discount
― mo loko (cozen), Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:41 (thirteen years ago) link
cool, thanks. that should be easy enough to sort out.
― mo loko (cozen), Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:42 (thirteen years ago) link
