@PauloCereda Delightful duck? Emsige Ente?

@Canageek \usepackage{snakefill}?

Q: Is it simple to create nonbreaking arbitrary length snakes for full-width justification?

6:59 AM

Why I am not surprised.

Following on from the recent xkcd comic: Would the snake be easy to do in LaTeX? To make the question more specific, how could I get LaTeX to automatically add a long underscore and then an 's' to each line that does not reach the end of the column? (I'm assuming with that knowledge I'd be ...

@TorbjørnT. \sleaders\hfill (s for “snake”)

@ChristianHupfer Have you made any progress with the automatic exam creation?

@Johannes_B Lovely Spam @PauloCereda

@Johannes_B Please give a precise definition of 'any progress' ...

@ChristianHupfer You had an idea of doing stuff like that many moons ago. I wondered if there is any news.

@Johannes_B No, I have opened other projects and answer to many questions and fight to many comment combats (below the posts) with strange users here ;-)

@ChristianHupfer Freaking templates

@Johannes_B No, freaks that use templates ;-) And non-feedbackers, non-upvoters,non-acceptors ...

classicthesis for a CV. I once used a hammer to get a screw between the bathroom tiles. It worked. Is a hammer the best tool for it? Nooooo.

@ChristianHupfer I don't know how many of my answers have no upvotes at all. But once in a while, i get an upvote for the Smilies in LaTeX answer.

@Johannes_B Did the tiles survive your attack? ;-)

@ChristianHupfer Right between them. That screw is probably still in the wall. I don't know, i moved out.

@Johannes_B It's not (only) about my answers. It's a general decline in behaviour of 'I want my thesis done, do it for me', getting an answer and never appear again

@Johannes_B @Johannes_B: If it is still there, they will remove the rest of the buildung, only the screw and parts of the wall will remain, as a memorial ;-)

@ChristianHupfer Like in minecraft, where you can place blocks right into nowhere?

@ChristianHupfer It has always been that way i think, you just perceive it differently.

@Johannes_B What's minecraft? No, I said, the rest of the wall

@ChristianHupfer That third part of the LaTeX introduction (still 40 people there) icluded a bit about biblioraphies. There was some dude that after the thing talked about strange things and out of nowhere addressed his question to me. Do i have to give the full path to cite?

Then he said something (not to me) like this You get some template from some russian journal and then Deal with it!

@Johannes_B Smert Spionem? ;-)

@ChristianHupfer Google returns some strange results. Who/what is Smert Spionem?

The girl that annoying guy left with, was one of the most beautiful woman i have ever seen though. But she was using Word while attending a LaTeX introduction. o.O

@Johannes_B James Bond: Der Hauch des Todes (don't know the original title at the moment -- 1987 movie)

@Johannes_B Such girls are not worth to dream of then :-P

7:58 AM

@ChristianHupfer I have seen two James Bond movies. the one with that pretty american girl and the one with that russian girl.

@Johannes_B: From Russia with love?

@ChristianHupfer dunno, it was 2007 or 2008.

@Johannes_B I've got an assignment for you: Watch Star Wars, Monty Python,Lord of the Rings, James Bond, Star Trek,then we will continue our conversations here;-)

@ChristianHupfer I have seen Lord of the rings, nice landscape. The story is a bit silly.

@ChristianHupfer Monthy Python, i have seen a bit of it. But not all.

@Johannes_B Quantum of Solace.

8:02 AM

@ChristianHupfer Star Wars and Star Trek are different things? ;-)

@TorbjørnT. Strawberry Fields ;-)

@TorbjørnT. Yeah, i think that was it. Thanks.

@Johannes_B Yes, there are quite few Klingons in Star Wars ;-)

@ChristianHupfer Right now on the radio: Blümchen -- Herz an Herz

Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum

@ChristianHupfer I never met any Klingons so far. Are they from Africa?

8:15 AM

What do you guys actually do for a living? I mean, you are always here.

@MaestroGlanz I am not always online. As a teacher it's difficult to be online all the time.

@ChristianHupfer Teacher for?

@MaestroGlanz Physics, Mathematics and Bioinformatics (Oberstufe)

Ulrike Fischer

@Johannes_B You should read the book.

@MaestroGlanz Apparently the others are employed by the Secret Service -- they are quite silent about their real profession ;-)

8:29 AM

@UlrikeFischer I started once, but ... somehow i did not finish it. I have all three of those small black paperback volumes though.

@Johannes_B You should not read the German translation of LoTR,in my opinion

@ChristianHupfer It was in english. The books probably still are in english. :-)

@ChristianHupfer Whats wrong with the GErman translation?

@MaestroGlanz The names ;-) Bilbo Beutlin -- this is ridiculous,or Streicher

@ChristianHupfer I like them. I dont know the english names though.
