• users disappear from options menu when given uids under 1000

  - by Seamus

  I wanted to stop particular user names appearing in the list of names at the log in screen. I remembered reading that this could be achieved by changing the user id of the account to something less than 1000 (I think I made it 990). So I did this. That worked fine, but now when I wanted to change it back, the name is not appearing in the list of…

• Word count for LaTeX within emacs

  - by Seamus

  I want to count how many words my LaTeX document has in it. I can do this by going to the website for the texcount package and using the web interface there. but that's not ideal.

• Making evince the default application for embedding PDFs in firefox in ubuntu

  - by Seamus

  While I'm on the subject of complaining about things that upgrading to ubuntu 10.04 broke (see here), another problem that happened on moving from 9.04 to 9.10 (I think) is this: Firefox used to open embedded pdf files with evince and that was fine. Now it opens them with okular, which I don't like for several reasons. (Pg Up, Pg Dn…

• emacs ORG-mode "headless" export-as commands?

  - by Seamus

  When I use org-export-as-latex or org-export-as-html orgmode turns my buffer into a .tex file or .html file.

• Link to a folder in the top Ubuntu panel

  - by Seamus

  Hi. I like the little top panel thing in Ubuntu. I have links to all my most used programs on there. (Which is why I don't see the point of docky or any of those things: they seem to do the same job, but they're messier). What I'd like is to have a little icon for my documents folder up there too. But I don't…

• emacs AucTeX:Turn off auto-fill-mode inside a particular LaTeX environment

  - by Seamus

  I like using auto-fill-mode for hard line wrapping. However, when I'm making a big tabular in a .tex file, I like using align-current to have the table look somewhat like it would when printed. The difficulty is that if I have a table that is longer than the line width, auto-fill-mode breaks it, and then…

• Is a Java static block equivalent to a C3 static constructor?

  What is the real difference between a C# static constructor and a Java static block? They both must be parameterless. They are both called only once, when the related class is first used. Am I missing something, or are they the same thing, just with different names?

  Obviously ||= won't work def x? @x_query ||= expensive_way_to_calculate_x end because if it turns out to be false, then expensive_way_to_calculate_x will get run over and over. Currently the best way I know is to put the memoized true or false into an Array: def x? …
