Three Hundred Thirtieth Post: LaTeX Installations

The good news is that TeX and LateX, software that lets the user format special characters such as math formulas, is free. The bad news is it is difficult to install, even on Windows. For some reason you install TeX and its complimenting packages. Then you find certain files and run a program on them. You then move certain newly created files and run the program on them. Its overly complex. There are software packages that have both the interface and program installed, but the price is over $200. I’m going to get it and when I do, I will make my web page look pretty.

Well I read in the paper that there is a new donut that is fortified with vitamins and has no trans fat. A good tasting donut that is good for you doesn’t sound possible. In some ways it is true, but the donut still has as many calories as a regular donut. But if a donut is all you are going to eat (say for breakfast) a nutrition bar or vitamin donut may be better than nothing.

One thing to notice is that it has no trans fat. If it didn’t have to be in the food, why did manufactures start putting it there? We eat enough in the U.S. that we definitely don’t need it. It would be ideal for nations where food is not plentiful. It would give them extra needed calories. That is why MRE.(meals ready to eat) are loaded with calories. The calories are required for work.

Got to go. I’m craving a donut. Too bad Dunkin Donuts is out of business. But in the meantime... May the Creative Force be with You
