I HATE APPLE

i run texshop from inside vim, see your favorite little computer program hoonja-doonja (mac version)

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

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?

if you do put it on the side i like it better "pinned" to the top of the screen

I'm a bottom.

defaults write com.apple.dock pinning -string end

Need dock visible for all the notification marks. Major flaw

growl?

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.

Hate Growl x2.

It beats bouncing dock icons, imo

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.

hate growl x3, but iscrobbler (and some other apps?) insist on it

yah tinygrab uses it and tinygrab is my new fav so

dan i like your style

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!

lol 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)

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.

uk discount is bigger and involves government tax law, so they're a bit stricter

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

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?

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.

"rather" = "rate" (drunk)

uni discount is 15% DG, which is a lot bigger than the 'school etc' discount

cool, thanks. that should be easy enough to sort out.

i take what i can get!

lol not sure I know any students anymore now I come to think of it
