Hi, I’ve been toying with the idea of “Replace desktop office software with free alternatives” series along the lines of: 1. Overleaf+Latex or Pandoc Markdown for documents 2. Overleaf+Latex+Beamer for presentations 3. RStudio for spreadsheets If there’s interest, I can do a set of 15-30 minute demos for each. 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!

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. > 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.
