@egreg: I smiled when you mentioned Barendregt's book. :) I have this book in my mini-shelf over my desk! A photo coming up later on in the morning. :)

@cmhughes Maybe it is my browser but the old image does not disappear fast enough so sometimes I see parts of it when the new one is supposed to be seen. Specifically, this is the 2 on the right.

@PauloCereda I updated the answer of the CV using your images. Thank you very much!

Peter Grill

Anyone else have a problem compiling:

\documentclass{article}

% Both of these are require to duplicate the problem
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage[splitindex]{imakeidx}

\begin{document}
\end{document}

With the above I am getting:

Undefined control sequence.
l.44   \ifnum\luatexversion
                           <68

And this with an updated TeXLive2012 as of today as per Extraneous text from \NewDocumentEnvironment (corrupted TeXLive2012 ?)

@PeterGrill compiles fine for me on TL2012. Haven't run tlmgr recently though

@WillHunting yeah, sadly the image isn't perfect. It's not your browser...

user19161

@cmhughes What did you use to create it?

cmhughes

@WillHunting the following

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{pgfplots}

\usepackage[active,tightpage]{preview}
\PreviewEnvironment{tikzpicture}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}[fragile]{}
\begin{center}
\resizebox{5cm}{!}{%
\foreach \mycount in {0,10,...,90}{
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[view={\mycount}{30},
]
\addplot3[surf,
colormap/cool,
samples=20,
domain=0:2*pi,y domain=0:2*pi,
z buffer=sort]
({(2+cos(deg(x)))*cos(deg(y+pi/2))},
{(2+cos(deg(x)))*sin(deg(y+pi/2))},
{sin(deg(x))});
\end{axis}

@cmhughes I wonder why the image is not perfect...

cmhughes

@WillHunting me too

@cmhughes But I must say the picture looks quite terrible.

cmhughes

@WillHunting the picture, or the animation?

user19161

@cmhughes OK I think just the animation. Does not feel like an animation to me. Perhaps more frames are needed.

cmhughes

@WillHunting it's never going to win any awards- it was just for fun :)

user19161

@cmhughes OK. :-) It must have taken very long to compile if you did not use gnuplot.

@PeterGrill See the same here on an up to date TL2012

percusse

@PeterGrill It also quits with the same error on up-to-date MikTeX 2.9

ooops, so if you needed a box to store footnotes in for an answer on site is \newbox\fbox a good idea, answers on a postcard to.....

@DavidCarlisle lol epic fail!

@DavidCarlisle As you are working on margin stuff again, may I ask how the package based on this answer is coming along?

@DavidCarlisle Incidentally, very neat idea to write your messages to a length which exactly fits the size of a starred message. Really convenient!

David Carlisle

@StephanLehmke well not really working, As may be seen by the fact that it casually trashed \fbox that was just a 5 minute answer thrown at that question. But I haven't forgotten the other one...

egreg

@PeterGrill Yes, for some reason pgfplots leaves \directlua defined and imakeidx is fooled. I'll send a fix as soon as possible; changing the loading order should suffice, though.
