So much joy, so much trouble

Just find out that it is easy to set XeTex to work with latexmk. From TeX on Mac OS X mailing list by Herb Schulz:

Move the engine files from ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/Inactive/Latexmk/ two directories up, to ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ to activate them. Once that is done restart TeXTShop.

To use the xelatexmk engine simply put the line

% !TEX TS-program = xelatexmk

at the top of the source file.

Annouced by by Seiji Zenitani on the mailing list:

I decided to close this project. The 2010 edition is the last release of my distribution. You can install the optional (netinstall) packages until 2013. I will maintain this mailing list until 2011.

I always favor it over Aquamacs, but now let’s move on to Cocoa version

Yes, people are getting theirs before 3rd, April.

Mossberg saying:

After spending hours and hours with it, I believe this beautiful new touch-screen device from Apple has the potential to change portable computing profoundly, and to challenge the primacy of the laptop.

David Pogue saying:

Speaking of video: Apple asserts that the iPad runs 10 hours on a charge of its nonremovable battery — but we all know you can’t trust the manufacturer. And sure enough, in my own test, the iPad played movies continuously from 7:30 a.m. to 7:53 p.m. — more than 12 hours. That’s four times as long as a typical laptop or portable DVD player.

and Boingboing:

iPad is a touch of genius. But it’s the things I never knew it made possible — to be revealed or not in the coming months — that will determine whether I love it. Each app for iPad can’t be more than 2 gigs in compressed archive form (a limitation imposed by the zip compression standard at work here, not something of Apple’s own design).

I think the 2g limit might be a good thing, since I just want to buy the 16g version of iPad of the moment.

BTW, The Big Storm Picture posted an interesting comparison between CS4 and coming CS5 for image manipulation, and the difference is quite huger than I expected. You should click the link to see it.

I just suffered one and I’m suffering the other now!
