Ambigram

What is an ambigram? Ambi means "both", gram means "word". An ambigram is a word written in such a way that it reads the same when it is made upside-down (i.e. rotated by 180 degrees). Ambigrams are an ancient artform and play heavily into the mysteries of the novel "Angels & Demons" by Dan Brown. The ambigrams featured in the novel were wonderfully designed by artist John Langdon. I was simply enthralled by them and then tried to design some. First I chose my name to start with -

What happened to my BIOS?

My BIOS has developed some kind of AI! It automatically disabled my floppy drive. I manually enabled it but again it was automatically disabled by my BIOS. What's happening?

Beamer!

The beamer class in LaTeX sounds quite interesting. Saw some examples and it may prove very helpful in producing slides with loads of mathematical formulae.

LGrind - a new thing

How to include SOURCE CODE in documents

A program called "lgrind" is available to help you convert program listings to a form easily includable in a LaTeX document. To use this program, type the following:

$ add newtex
$ lgrind -i -llanguage filename > filename.tex

This will generate a file (filename.tex) of code formatted for inclusion in a LaTeX file. For example, to format a C program called mycode.c:

$ lgrind -i -lc mycode.c > mycode.tex

To include the encoded file in your document:

Include a line in your document preamble:
\usepackage{lgrind}
or, if you want the code to include function labels on the right hand side,
\usepackage[procnames,noindent]{lgrind}

Place the lines
\begin{lgrind}
\input mycode.tex
\end{lgrind}
in your .tex file where you want to insert the formatted code.
