@casey Edited accordingly. Thanks.

@mikeserv Hey, wb. Long time no see.

Hi, @FaheemMitha. How are you?

@mikeserv Doing Ok. Making stumbling attempts to learn some basic TeX.

It's been 20 years, and I just grasped (approximately) how an aux file works.

Embarrassing.

What is an aux file? (see? you're always smarter than somebody... but seriously, aux file?)

@mikeserv You are not a TeX user, I take it? If not, no reason you would know what an aux file is.

I've been a LaTeX user since the mid 90s or so. And I usually have more curiousity, but TeX is always something I've found... daunting. Still do, really.

An aux file is just a file which TeX (or maybe LaTeX) uses to write down some information to use between invocations.

@mikeserv I see you are keeping the ghost thing.

Personally, I'd favor the Ghostbusters emblem if you are going that way. It's cheerier.

Hi @Braiam. Where is everyone?

What we need here is a party. With balloons.
