Kinky…
My God, why?
I also considered LaTeX, just for the nerd cred, but then I thought: “nah, just invest the time in World of Warcraft instead” and used OpenOffice → pdf for the paper.
Went just fine.
It’s much easier to procrastinate with TeX
Knowing myself I opted for Openoffice back then. With a heavy heart, because TeX looks so much better. In the end it’s all about the content.
That plus all Word-processors suck one way or the other. (Yeah yeah it’s not a word processor. I know )
I must confess that I’m still using M$ Office 2007 on my win7 machine…
Productivity, lot’s of vector graphics i drew myself, it looks good, university provides a template so there’s barely any formating needed, etc. And last but not least, it works with version control, so i can go backward and forward through my entire history of the document. I could work collaboratively with other people if need be. There’s so many reasons that i wonder why people bother with WYSIWYG.
Just heard that Bill & Melinda Gates are splitting up.
Be willing to bet the last straw for Melinda was that latest Window’s update that screwed up her gaming.
I fondly remember the video game series “Wing Commander”, the cat-like alien enemies kept taunting the player by saying things like “You pathetic descendants of monkeys!” or “Die, furless freak!” and I can imagine that dogs and especially cats probably agree from time to time.
Who do you call furless?
There’s even movie from the seventies with the same title.
Jussi is a Finnish name, the equivalent of Jack, I guess…and pussi means bag.
So jussipussi is “jack bag” in English…which doesn’t help things, does it.
My second task in life is to keep scam calls on the phone for as long as possible. With an Indian call center I got two senior people in turn. Before they hung up a ‘nice young lady’ swore at me like a trooper. Success.
