Karlsruhe
Since October 2011 my office is based at KIT in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Weather Images
Apparently www.wetter.com has some problems. Shortly after I changed the weather images on this site, they are not really working any more. I will wait a little longer before I replace them...
PowerPoint und LaTeX
Using Beamer LaTeX slides for a presentation, is certainly acceptable and a good idea if you have formulas to show. Yet, my feeling is that it is easier and quicker to create nice presentations with a tool like PowerPoint. Formulas, however, are a pain in the neck with PowerPoint. But this problem can be solved by using an add-in such as IguanaTex or MathType. Try it yourself and tell me your opinion!
As a follow-up, PowerPoint 2010 for Windows has a fairly decent formula editor. However, when you create a file with PP2010 for Windows and open it with PP for Mac 2011, the formulas are not rendered correctly. Alas, Microsoft!
LyX and LNCS
To remember how it works, let me briefly explain how to enable LyX to use LNCS class files.
- Download llncs2e.zip from Springer and extract it into your LaTeX distribution's class file folder.
- Determine whether your LyX version already comes with a file called llncs.layout (look in layouts directory).
- Rehash/refresh your LaTeX distribution (Linux: rehash, MikTeX: Refresh FNDB in Settings dialog).
- Reconfigure LyX.
When time permits, I will add some links to more detailed descriptions.
