@StephanLehmke I was a bit surprised to see that there were no TikZ solutions to that question (although there's a link to a similar one that does use TikZ). Maybe we should have a "101 ways to draw a horizontal line with TikZ".

If I read "I don't think anything can beat Microsoft PowerPoint for the look of sophistication and ease of use," on a website should I (a) look elsewhere, (b) despair, (c) all of the above?

@AndrewStacey It depends on what you mean by "sophistication": if they refer to fancy effects of blocks that fall down bouncing, words that appear one letter at a time or flashing shivering rolling pictures, then the site is right.

@egreg No, on that measure Keynote is better :-)

@JosephWright I disagree: Keynote has iFancy iEffects

@JosephWright Agreed. :) Keynote has cooler effects than PowerPoint. :)

@egreg I got there by looking for presentation software that my kid could use. I'm seriously considering LyX + Beamer since there doesn't seem to be a decent alternative.

@JosephWright I always thought Ohm had a capital O.

@AndrewStacey No

@JosephWright: newbie question: I can't use \textcolor{red}{0.56} in a S column, can I?

@PauloCereda \color

@JosephWright ooh! :)

@JosephWright sorry, another RTFM moment. :)

@PauloCereda lol :D

@AndrewStacey If it's the man you write Ohm, if it's the unit you write ohm; just like Newton/newton, Joule/joule.

@egreg "Having one's name an uncapitalized mathematical adjective is the highest honor [sic] a mathematician can get"

The site maintenance seems to take longer than expected

@AndrewStacey Well, it depends: do you write "Lebesgue measure" or "lebesgue measure" ?

@tohecz Neither: Lebesgue measure. :)

@egreg what did you say? :P

It's still capitalized, but it's an adjective.

@tohecz Cheater!

@egreg Then I think that what Andrew states holds for physisists not mathematicians ;)

Lesbegue measure, Riemann integral/manifold/zeta function, Lie derivative, but abelian group, hermitian form. Hilbert is on the borderline: I've seen both hilbert space and Hilbert space.

@AndrewStacey I've seen all of them written in lowercase ... in (English) articles by French people ;)

anyways, I gotta go, there's a concert at 8 in the downtown that I don't want to miss

@tohecz What's the program? Couperin and Charpentier?

I think Schumann and some other things. Piano + barytone (solist)

@tohecz As long as there isn't Saint-Saëns or Ravel it's fine. :P

who?

@MarcoDaniel No, in a dutch IC. Free wireless. amazing

@topskip Germany and the service ;-)

Help! The blog is eating my code!!!!!!

I want my ampersands back!!!!!

I'm mad now.

Reading the description of the tag:fun tag, one could probably put it to almost every second question here ;-)

How do I make a tag?

We need a procrastination tag ;-)

@StephanLehmke If you just add something to the tag line while editing a question, a tag is automatically generated

@StephanLehmke I think you just need to tag the question with the new one. :)

Uh I meant what do I write here so that its displayed in a taggish way?

@StephanLehmke [tag:foobar]

Gah, too late for the fun ;-)

@StephanLehmke For me, procrastination is the same as tex :\

@Qrrbrbirlbel What are you supposed to be doing ;-)

@StephanLehmke Working for my university's report, for example.

But it's TV time now, anyway …

@Qrrbrbirlbel Well if you do it with TeX, then not all TeX is procrastination, after all ;-)

@StephanLehmke For that I need TeX.NET :)

@JosephWright: new blog post. :) Could you take a look?

@PauloCereda OK

@JosephWright Thanks! :) Sorry for the images, but the code support was terrible, it messed with all the ampersands et al.

@PauloCereda Looks good to me

@JosephWright Thanks. :) Can I publish it? :)

@PauloCereda Fine with me

@JosephWright :)

@PauloCereda Seems very nice!

@egreg Thanks. :) It's not too TeX-related, but I think it was worth to write about it. :) With a fluent template, we can write easier-to-maintain code. :)

@PauloCereda Very useful to manage the assignments to my LaTeX course students. :)

@egreg ooh! :) It's Java 5 compliant too! :)

hello again!

@tohecz Hey Tom! :)

@tohecz How was the concert?

@egreg It was really good, however, with a terrible headache, no concert is good.

so I think I should go to bed, hoping that this Aspirin will work better than the Coldrex 4 hours ago

@tohecz Hope so. Be well soon.

thanks mate!

@tohecz You're answering questions instead of sleeping. I've left a comment for you.

I prefer to have small space before and no space after ;)

and I wanted to have something to eat, so I answered one question whilst eating ;)

@tohecz Then the \mathbin is useless

Yeah, that's probably true. Nevermind, I go to bed now ;)

I would vote for too localized. What do you think? See last comment of user (problem solved)

@Kurt The problem was where the dimensions were set.

Awarded the bounty to tecepe for the TikZ answer. He's brazilian, but I discovered it too late. :P

@egreg I just saw you have answered. I'm not sure what exactly the question is. If you add showframe in the MWE you see a very big header. I'm not sure whether this is realy wanted.

@Kurt The header should accommodate an image.

@egreg: yes, I think so with text left and right of the picture. But first the longtable doesn't work then (too long, why?) and the frame is not okay. Text starts inside the picture ... And without the picture it is not easy to understand what is wanted -- I think ...

@Kurt Did you put the setting of headheight in the call to \geometry?

@egreg: I'm just trying, please wait a moment ...

@egreg: okay, now it is running. I'm not often using \geometry and didn't know to put headhigh there. Thanks!

Hello friends!

@egreg Yes. It works well!

I see TeXLive 2012.

@egreg: I have some questions about the installation. I'd be glad if you can clarify them. There are 2:

1) I see a file called texlive.sh in my home folder.

Is that normal? Or it should be elsewhere.

(And: sorry about not replying in time.)

@AndrewStacey Yes, I was too fast to comment it's line width indeed. But the problem still persists with another side effect (if you look at my new comment)

@KannappanSampath You can safely remove it from your home. :) A copy of texlive.sh is now in /etc/profile.d, which is the correct place. :)

@PauloCereda Oh, I see.. Thank you. :)

One last question, I have to ask:

There's a log file: It's only contents are:

mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 lcirclew

I don't know what I should do with this as well.

@KannappanSampath Where's the log?

@PauloCereda Home folder.
