Install pdflatex ubuntu

PdfLatex is a tool that converts Latex sources into PDF. This is specifically very important for researchers, as they use it to publish their findings. It could be installed very easily using Linux terminal, though this seems an annoying task on Windows. Installation commands are given below.

  • Install the TexLive base
sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base
  • Also install the recommended and extra fonts to avoid running into the error [1], when trying to use pdflatex on latex files with more fonts.

Setting up a Keynote document for grid layout design

Setting up a Keynote document for grid layout design

I like (love ?) Keynote because it

  • is a simple to use presentation software,
  • is vector based (when zooming it just looks gorgeous)
  • exports to powerpoint

If I could remove that last argument, I would, but the fact is that, as a consultant, the final document is almost always expected to be a powerpoint document. Don't ask me why, it is just so. I am fighting against it but I did not win the battle so far ...

Generate Graphviz Files for Project

short url: caseywatts.com/graphviz

Graphviz is like markdown, for diagrams.

It's a tool that can transform text input into a "directed graph" output, which is nodes pointing to other nodes. You can use it for architecture diagrams, DB diagrams, documentation for users, etc.

graphviz-it

You'll want to use a tool with a two-pane layout - the left side is the source text, the right side is the image output.

  • For just you working on it, use (shown above; it has more features)

Convert exported Apple contacts .vcf to CSV

I have a bunch of folks I want to export from Apple Contacts on MacOS and turn into a spreadsheet for a holiday card mail merge.

This is my clumsy way of doing it.

Presenting / Streaming notes

Personal notes on presenting and streaming.

Before starting

  • Turn off un-needed software. Especially things with notifications: Slack, Skype, Teams, etc.
  • Turn on Focus Assist
  • When sharing your desktop, consider sharing a secondary screen rather than the primary screen. Many apps will post notifications to the primary screen so this will help cut down on accidently sharing out notifications.
  • Hide desktop icons
  • Consider resolution/DPI. Remember that for streaming, people watching may be on lower resolutions; don't stream above 1080p.
  • Hide task bar. Either set auto hide, or simply crop the shared section of your screen to omit it.
  • Consider if desktop background is appropriate.
