Tom April 19, 2007 at 12:35 am: surely, certain programming languages are an even more authentic expression of the human spirit
Milan April 19, 2007 at 12:37 am: Which do you have in mind?
Tom April 19, 2007 at 12:42 am: half the scope for expression lies in choosing
Milan April 19, 2007 at 12:46 am: Other than a tiny bit of PHP, I haven’t really coded anything since my cousin gave me a copy of Turbo Pascal.

On a related note, I miss TextMate, but can’t justify spending 40 Euros on a program that I only use a tiny fraction of the features available in.
Tom April 19, 2007 at 12:51 am: how many of the features in Word do you use? of course, there aren’t all that many people who actually buy it
Milan April 19, 2007 at 12:55 am: I am in the minority of students with a real copy of Office. The UBC bookstore added it to my iBook order for about $50.

As for the number of features I use, the right answer is probably “as few as possible.” I explicitly avoided including tables and graphs in my thesis, because formatting them in Word is such a pain.
Antonia April 19, 2007 at 3:56 pm: Has your printer problem been sorted now?
Might not be online again til Monday. Good luck.
R.K. April 19, 2007 at 1:48 pm: There are thousands of printers in Oxford. Surely you can find another somewhere.
Sean April 20, 2007 at 8:35 pm: Good luck! Would you mind if I steal this graph? It fits my life right now.
Milan April 21, 2007 at 1:20 pm: Sean,
