    Wow. I made the cut again. Wasn’t so sure about that… I’m very honored again Mandarine.

  2. mandarine Says:

    Are you kidding? I love your blog, and the suspense and everything. And I know it’s going to take a very interesting twist soon (please, say you’ll keep up).

  3. Sarah Says:

    I’m honored to be on your blogroll Mandarine! Oh, and I have just spent two wonderful days playing with LyX thanks to you. It’s exactly what I was looking for!

  4. mandarine Says:

    I had tried LyX to start with, but I rapidly chose to stick to plain text editors (TeXnicCenter or TeXlipse). When I am in fine editing mode, I am glad to have two screens: one for the code, and one for the pdf rendering.

  5. Maria Says:

    Oh yes! Of course I want to keep it up… Even with the twist…
    I’ve been told that very interesting stories await me. I won’t be able to ignore them. I just hope I won’t over do it, and the site will still retain some of what it is today: pre-twist.

  6. Emily Barton Says:

    Uh-oh, now I have to live up to being on your blogroll along with all these other extremely talented people.

  7. mandarine Says:

    Exactly: with all these other extremely talented people.

  8. Emily Barton Says:

    You ARE a devil. I was thinking more along the lines of “other (extremely talented) people.” But I like your interpretation better.

  9. Becky Says:

    I’m extremely flattered at being included in such august company, thank you. The pressure is on!

  10. mandarine Says:

    You should not be feeling any pressure. After all, you are an extremely talented person (cf. Emily’s comment).

  11. Carl Says:

    I didn’t want to mention it myself, but thanks for fixing the typo you had in the blog roll before! :-) I will probably fix up my own soon enough. As it currently stands, my site is in desperate need of renovation.

  12. mandarine Says:

    You’re welcome. I am sorry. There should not have been a typo in the first place.

  13. Polaris Says:

    Wow, things have progressed since I was here last. I updated the link to wisemandarine.com.

    And what is this I read about LyX? Were you teaching Sarah how to use LaTeX with LyX as a starting point? I tried LyX in my early LaTeX days and liked it for a time. Now, it is back to good old “vi” and dvips and ps2pdf. Is one allowed to use the H-word on your blog, as in “I hate emacs” ? :)

  14. mandarine Says:

    You are right about LyX: I really think it is an entry point for LaTeX, but then people gradually learn that seeing what you get is not all that important.
    I like TeXlipse, because it compiles on-the-fly, letting you know about errors as you type.
