Planning my part for Friday's event very carefully. Going to blow the wine society's budget on a few bottles of champagne, and open every last bottle of wine in uni.

If I didn't, it'd be detrimental to next year's budget. I just hope whoever becomes head next gets it easier than I've had it this year — I was the first one in 3 years to do maintain the society at a minimum level. Anyway, whatever happens, I won't be around to watch :o

Mendeley. It works for 99% of what I need, but for linguistics I sometimes (i.e. 3–5 references out of 50) need to cite laws. Zotero's nice as well but Mendeley's Bibtex sync is better still. I suppose I could sync the two.

Hope they brought enough for the whole class!

As fun and lovely as it is to preview my dissertation in Marked, it ended up taking 1GB of memory after 3 hours.

Wonder how people manage to afford a Marked preview once they start using R and the like into longer documents :o

Better behaved than I, then…#omnomnom

That, and it's so hard to find the information to insert into the citation manager. Code, code volume, code number, chapter, author, legislative body…I only know that Québec published it in 1977 and it's screwed everyone over since!

Markdown + Critic markup + HTML + LaTeX.

MD for the writing, Critic for commenting/temporary edits, HTML to mark likely-useless text and permanent comments (pandoc doesn't know how to ignore Critic), LaTeX for the citations and formatting.

And it's all so much faster than Word shudder. To be fair, it'd damn well better be, after all those hours I put into learning it and setting everything up.

@height8 It's good to know I'm not entirely weird for feeling more lethargic on rainy days during which a nice ebook and a glass of earthy Pinot Noir are all I want.

Citing laws gives me a damn headache. No wonder lawyers get paid well.

@height8 Got the Telegram update about that. Fortunately I don't think I need to do anything on my side.
