Cheers Justin(?), that looks good. Nice name btw.

Justin?!

Its MarcLister but thanks to EVH and Gilly (I presume) I've been renamed Listy-poo.

I'm surprised at how few people use LaTeX, they really plug it to us...

My flatmate is allergic to latex but is addicted to the adrenaline rush he gets when he chews gum.

Listy-poo is the Lister himself.

D'oh, never saw the extra page. I'm slow.

Err.

I like the way you say that.

 

[gumbald]

Argh, you posted during my edit, this is confusing me more. I don't know anyone else called Lister. There is a David Lister school in Hull though.

 

[MarcLister]

Err.

And guess when I found this out. On the first day we met. Cheers. Oh and thanks for telling me you like to tie "people" up during sex! PEOPLE?! Not women?

Can't stand the man.

Normally I'm the one getting confused-y-poo.

I was talking about the typesetting language, not kinky sex. Did I miss the humour completely?

Possibly but the thread has definitely taken a turn for the surreal now. I think Listy-poo might have missed out a comma or two in his obvious excitement which would have made it rather easier to understand.

Yes you did. I was pretending I didn't know what Latex was. You can now explain for those of us who don't, including me.

Listy-poo never misses.

Makes kinky looking documents. It's not WYSIWYG, it arranges the pages for you. Things like references are easy though and it's only in recent years that programs like Word have reached the same ability to be able to do TOCs and such.

Liking it already.

Cheers, will fiddle with it laters.

Its far too early to be posting such things. Burn.

But seriously, well done

 

[TheCrow]

Handed my report in

17,000 words about a reporting framework utilising SQL Server Reporting Services that I have made.

 

[gumbald]

Had my last exam today. ALL OVER!

One word: garrrrrrrrrrr.

 

[semi-pro waster]

Had my last exam today. ALL OVER!

Congratulations. Just one question remains - why are you still online? I was in the pub within 5 minutes of finishing with a cold pint in my hand.

 

[Ripper]

Gotta stay sane, taking the girlfriend ice skating later

 

[gord]

38,947 words currently in my TYP document, over 152 pages.. woo!

Going to break the 40,000 word barrier with my conclusion/future work/critical eval.

 

[gumbald]

What's that about? They limit us to 35000 for laziness I think
