<div dir="auto">Hi,<br />
<br />
I’ve been toying with the idea of “Replace desktop office software with free alternatives” series along the lines of:</div>
<ol type="1">
<li>Overleaf+Latex or Pandoc Markdown for documents</li>
<li>Overleaf+Latex+Beamer for presentations</li>
<li>RStudio for spreadsheets</li>
</ol>
<div dir="auto">If there’s interest, I can do a set of 15-30 minute demos for each. <br />
<br />
In other news, I’ve been continuing to play around with the Gemini protocol. Gemini is actually pretty nice to build a site in. It’s like making a site in Markdown + a static site generator like Hugo, but without actually needing to run the static site generator. Cool!<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Hi NMGLUGers, We are scheduled to meet at 5:30 tonight. I don't have any real news, but was inspired by some of the discussion last time to do yet another install - this time on an HP mini unit. Cleaned out my closet to get a monitor and mouse, keyboard from a friend and proceeded. I had to kill the installed system. It was running on 3 partitions and after the "Recovery" partition was deleted I couldn't dual boot. Oh Joy, just a neat Gnu/Linux install. Intel i5, 16 GB ram and 500 GB SSD. I'm proceeding apace.<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">I took a brief look at Overleaf, referenced LaTex and Tex, these are the typesetting or markup language tools to make documents incorporating mathematical formulae. I have not used these, has anyone who might be at our video meeting tonight?<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Last week we also diverged off-topic to phones. We may continue this as well as we will not be having a too structured meeting.<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Thank you, Ted P.<br /></div>
