It turned out my presentation was rather good, as evaluated afterwards. So I am not emo today 
Actually since my university years, I keep getting comments that I am natural, when presenting. The keyword is always “natural”, and that is starting to get boring. I should improve my presentation skills to earn comments like “persuasive”, “impactful”, “unique”, “professional” and so on.
Problem is, I cant get enough opportunity to practise and experiment. I once tried opening a presentation by greeting “Good beforenoon to everyone” (it was 11a.m.) and the result was confusion and huh?s from everyone. And the experiment taught me not to do that again
Anyway, to avoid getting rusty with programming (as I have with football), I wrote a Java program to scan through list of English words and find anagram pairs. Below are the interesting ones.
- antagonist stagnation
- ascertain sectarian
- bacterial calibrate
- coordinate decoration
- courteous outsource
- eroticism isometric
- excitation intoxicate
- prettiness persistent
- satirical racialist
- shattering straighten
- supersonic percussion
I initially wanted to write article explaining the algorithm, and put it under Article tab above, but the Java program is so embarrassingly unstructured and un-academic. My knowledge and understanding of Object Oriented Programming is only as good as a stool leg trying to play football.
On separate matter, I managed to get sgf2dg open source software to work, to draw go diagrams. Dont suggest me to use Print Screen and convert to JPEG! The quality would be too bad for publishing!
Haha I’m already dreaming of writing a Go book in Malay! The problem is, the output of sgf2dg is a TEX source. I mean ‘plain’ or ‘raw’ TEX source, not LATEX and I’ve been failing to embed this source into LATEX. MikTex simply doesn’t recognize the ‘plain’ TEX commands. How do I go around this? Help !! Should I learn TEX? That is too ma fan. I know it’s superb and many people swear by it, but I am for sure going to swear at it!
If any techie people can help, please advise. Thankies.
Try using Tecnix or LEd programme to decipher it. Is TEX very difficult? How does the code look like?
If I have to give analogy,
Latex is like C/C++
TEX is like Assembly language
To continue with analogy, the problem is, how to put assembly language code into C compiler?
TEX is much more difficult than Latex, definitely.
thats tough man
Assalamualaikum.
Since you’ve got cygwin installed, why not install the TeX compiler too?
I’ve no idea what it is so you need to google it.
p/s
addition…
if TeX is like assembly language,
PostScript has to be the machine code?
Waalaikumussalam
Ya, I installed all package, I have TEX compiler. But to write code in pure TEX is too troublesome, prefer Latex.
Hehe
What I meant was, Latex as macro implementation of TEX is of higher level language ,like C/C++ is to assembly.
Not the best analogy surely, meaningless perhaps
