YASnippet LaTeX bundle GitHub Project

A long time ago I wrote about a LaTeX YASnippet bundle that I was building - but I never really got around to publishing it in a way so that anybody except me could get at them. I did create a Google Sites homepage for it, but that's a terrible way to share source code :-)

I have therefore just created a GitHub project called yasnippets-latex. Now my snippets are freely available - released under the GPL of course. So grab them, play with them, branch the project, create your own snippets, improve my snippets, etc.

Playing around with MacJournal

I have recently bought the MacHeist nanoBundle2 which included a license for MacJournal - yet another journaling software for Mac. I already have Evernote, which seems to be far better than MacJournal for journalling, but MacJournal has some blogging features that I may be interested in. So I guess I’ll give it a try. This entry is written in MacJournal b.t.w. ;-)

This image was just copied into the editor window - and then resized a bit to try that out as well. It’s a photo I took during my recent vacation in Sweden b.t.w.


Now lets try some pre-formatted text (I need that for displaying code examples). I did this by changing the font in MacJournal to Courier 12pt - I would have liked to edit HTML tags instead...:

def compare_us(x, y):
return true if x == y else false

And then some regular text again...

Edit: Well, that did not work at all! I guess MacJournal is not for me then :-) My initial experiences with the software have not been very good. The first time I added a blog the application crashed, and I had to try five times before the auto update function actually worked. When adding a blog entry it did not append any of the tags I chose, the editor did not allow me to edit the HTML source etc. Conclusion: it is a crappy blog editor.
