http://www.libcoffee.net/articles/2007/03/13/busy-busy en-us 40 :: Just another Typo weblog :: <p>Woke up early, remembered bread had run out, downed microwaved meat pie and banana instead for breakfast (Extra fat and carbohydrates = more sugars to burn for brain juice!), wash down with coffee. Continued work on my annotated bibliography, due in a few hours for <a href="http://itee.uq.edu.au/~comp4809">Research Methods</a>. Tried poking around with <a href="http://lyx.org">LyX</a> and BibTeX for generating <span class="caps">IEEE</span>-style references but eventually got stuck. Popped onto #ubuntu for ideas (Thanks, <b>sipior</b>!), but in the end couldn&#8217;t get anything working. Ended up printing my BibTeX list from LyX into <span class="caps">PDF</span>, <i>manually type-copying</i> them onto AbiWord because LaTeX doesn&#8217;t produce copyable text, and then re-pasting them back into LyX. Spent the last few two hours quickly finishing it up, panicking, ran off to the nearest university library (frickin&#8217; 15 minutes) and finally sigh of relief upon submission&#8230;</p> <p>And then in the evening noticed a bunch of mistakes.</p> <p>Man, won&#8217;t it be super-exciting when I really start writing my thesis.</p> Tue, 13 Mar 2007 22:36:45 +1000 urn:uuid:0154f893-4508-47ad-9215-e13650e4999a zanglang@gmail.com (Jerry) http://www.libcoffee.net/articles/2007/03/13/busy-busy Rants http://www.libcoffee.net/articles/trackback/238
