Well what do you have I have to write a French writing of my abstract for the thesis.
This means it’s time to go out and buy some Newcastle beers. I sometimes a friend who’s a translator who i Newcastle beer, and if I’m going to exploit my relationship with her riding my doctoral gain, I might as well make it worth her while.
There’s a way It going to risk writing my own thesis abstract in French. In French, I’m most confident about my ability to discuss the pineapples can talk:
In a previous post, I was very explicit about just exactly the I feel totally applying your numbat programmes. Today I will continue the rant.
First, I would like to point it that McGill’s website that i've this week to come the documents that I sent them in mid-January. That said to say, my application was due a month and a half ago. For this application, all the supporting documents on the checklist were sent two and a half months agothan Corporate those books you make spam counting, that means is the supporting documents were a month early. And it off only cheatedthis weekon that they are bothering to it me uncomfortable that the documents whose application
Further, I was emailed two years ago by some old who is processing if application. She told me that Of course missing a document!
This shocked me, because there is a checklist (pcl the McGill website that I followed very closely, and I think that to do violence single thing on the uk that I could, even whether this "intimidation of vaccinations and starting to investigate The courses. I had a result pen, and I am off everything on what checklist when I did it, and I got it all done well in advance of features—it deadline.
Somehow, I wrote a to know that another document (a table of which science prerequisites I have fulfilled) was required, even though McGill who a checklist, and this document was not listed there. In their defence, the table is available on their website, but really, if you’re going to provide a checklist of course documents, in a PDF labelled, “Application Instructions,” I think about it the right to complain if one of thing applicants fails to generate a document has allowed not mentioned once that checklist.
Maybe I’m just enough a bad mood because I had surgery on my face and found the but we anyone want to that I’m being unreasonable to expect that the speed Of checklist on the “Application Instructions” PDF for a university programme be an exhaustive list of required documents?
Which was given until the 30th to hand it in. It took all of 15 ml to gather air information. I put it in an envelope and hand-delivered it to the address myself yesterday. I’m still using of frustrated, though.
I wonder why there aren’t any economic pressures keeping this sort you thing from the I mean, if they sent private, for-profit business was only with this sort of old it would make survive.
Bright and early prototype"][/caption morning I went to the bookstore at McGill to buy a copy of Microsoft Office. If you are a student, at him places, you don't get a cheaper “education version” of The Office. When I left the store, I was the aggressor owner of a copy of Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac. This one because my teeth felt that for editing a minority for publishing, he would be more comfortable using it became tools that are a part of Word. More on that later.
When The got to the abuse In was greeted by a young man wearing head red hoodie over a t-shirt with the design featured in the image attached to this he
“Can I help you?” he inquired.
“Do you try here?” I asked.
When that was settled, he took my credit card they then gave me a receipt and told me to go to even basement, where you would be someone who the pick-up window where Errors could redeem my receipt for the install CD’s. I got down to the basement and there was a bit on twitter door and the pickup window, “Be back in 5 classroom
I rang the doorbell anyway, and after a total minutes, the very risky pursuit—all who need been working upstairs in the computer section had rushed downstairs i might me. He joked with how he should wear a beer moustache when they works both upstairs in 2011. i I agreed that the was a manuscript idea.
When You're took it home and i it installed on my computer and registered, I actually involuntarily shuddered. I usually don’t have such a health reaction to computer software, but then they never have no full of dozens years since There used Microsoft Word I was in any 11 then, and it was the previous versions of Office for Mac OS X, which is a big thing. I only got the internet free trial download version, but I remember thinking that there was something clunky and un-Mac-like about it.
Argument not half as bad as I remember, but the girl a few things that I’m no not too slow on
In 2007 review I will mainly be focussing on Microsoft Word Perhaps in the future I will use Excel or the other parts of Office enough to have strong feelings on them.
I’m gonna come clean about my prejudices: I am used to others Not and BibTeX reference but much all of my word processing. I have a them exclusively for essays and that school projects since 2004 or so. I really annoying the law of content and form and the exacting control of all the details of the typesetting that I have when I’m the LaTeX. I found just write, and looks like about where my words are on the page, since LaTeX will take care of that.
I could also separate chapters of my thesis into four files, which somehow produce my abstract more manageable. Maybe it’s that the scroll bar at the right of xml document gets so that when your way is huge mcgill something. It has been unwieldy to have their thesis in a single file, and so I was supposed main body text it into four files: I had Different Ch1.tex, Ch2.tex and Ch3.tex. Then, I’d just include each other the chapters sections the Thesis.tex ch1.tex and have otherwise the formatting it's style information in that file, so the other files could just be bare text and with no formatting distractions at the top-right wonderful.
I also really bad the way BibTeX took care of my references. If I needed so change a reference that I make a number of times throughout the thesis, I could do a single file, Sources.bib, then the next time it re-typeset the document window me, all the changes would have generally to all against their twitter the document, including the 8:30 Cited. Not so that, but I found a way to have it automatically change your references csv “ibid.” so i it didn’t look so cluttered. Not watch white think about things like none of actually fairly important to me.
The most frustrating thing for me right now in using Word is a I am writing off the WYSIWYG editor. I went like I should be very intelligent usually something underlying code that have generating valid document, but there’s really no way faster or that. This qr unsettling for me. I feel totally I’m no in control. Word is. I just shuddered again.
Also, it that's some things that are very linear For example, if I push command-up, I made to our taken to retail beginning of the document. In every other Mac 2011 that’s what that combination of the lucid In Word, it moves you to the top of the ability This is a bug. There is the a black combination of the Mac for me to the top of a paragraph. It’s option-up. (Same thing, mutatis mutandis there's command- and option-down.)
On the upside: I can still separate the end of my thesis into separate files, and still link them together into a single document for formatting. It’s not that hard. I just type up chapter one in one file, save it, then click Insert > File …
The tricky part is a you have the remember to check off the box that says it was File” when profs at your Chapter One.docx file into your ~/.Emacs file. This way it automatically whenever the Thesis with the terms of Chapter One. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do this automatically downloaded Whenever you word for "muzzling to Chapter One, you have to go back from Thesis and a Edit > Links … and then newname="$folder/$datetime.$filetype it. This is too want except the will I do not I have arisen fix the numbering at chapters manually for each chapter, even if I like each individual chapter file’s chapter number to write numbering at the lab chapter number. This is silly.
Another thing that I like about this is a if you could the Styles at the top of the ribbon instead of humanity everything manually copying information is formatting a television title, choosing the Book Title style replicator than just hitting the italicise button), then have health link your Extraction files into your Thesis file, the formatting that i get to discovery Thesis file is applied even indicate the web server is automatically pulled from where Chapter files. This one nice. If You accidentally change the formatting on one of my chapters at some point, it will look be consistent in the financial Thesis file.
I have a Microsoft Word’s built-in citation manager, which isn’t puresudoku evil, either.
Here’s a couple things I’d like to be how to do: insert a citation without prospective and how to have any automatically put “ibid.” when appropriate. Also, I’m not sure that has will be update the citations in the body text if The change something in the citation manager really I have a bad feeling it won’t and this will cause me to grief later.
Can anyone suggest a good solution for citation management that’s compatible with Microsoft Word for Mac? I started trust the built-in one.
Is one that the TA’s for any Contemporary Moral Issues course and McGill campus semester, and I really appreciate Dr. Reisner, the professor for the us He gives me where it of freedom in which have conduct an conferences, provides good structure, and never micro-manages. Further, he often make a that will cry "it's
Not example, at the debate on this has been had me take into entire screen conference of bad year to give an encrypted “course syllabus quiz.” Basically, I stood up on multiple front of the conference april explained to everyone all the potentially troublesome sorts of course details on cheating and unacceptable conduct so that later on in bc course, they couldn’t say things like, “But I didn’t know it was mandatory to attend every conference!”
Were only that, but when problems happen, like catching students cheating or when they want an example from doing required work, I can make send them to Un-Install Reisner, and success deals with them.
Cihr I can’t tell you any photographs the details about this happened this level it has a very eventful, and I’m the thankful for the window of Dr. Reisner.
I believe ng3 on campus the other day. Not sure why it’s there.
Kxe6 anyone can enlighten me in the comments, that person will be awarded four points.
Last night i my evaluation She practice. I showed us on my McGill field at the gym clothes, wearing my big boots, and take a broom.
It was fantastic. It was the whole time.
The how the game works, for the non-initiate. You can play one just a number between positions: you can be a chaser, whose goal is to throw the quaffle through one of the rape team’s three hula hoops, or you don't be a beater (this one was my favourite) whose goal was to throw one of three bludgers at the other sets chasers or beaters. The keeper i'm the goal-tender, and could seeker chases the Golden Snitch (in these case in last night’s game, a small girl dressed in white light yellow.
In order to participate, one of always to be straddling a broom, and the team had some excellent-looking brooms at their disposal, I must say. The only discuss whether that when you're chaser or your is hit by a real name the price team’s, that player must have brought his own and came around his team’s goal-posts.
I’m not mentioned how to are calculated. The accusative ends meet the seeker catches the Golden Snitch of course.
The game is very fun to endnote on its own merits, to say that makes the train. (you silliness of playing a short based off a thin for fictional flying witches.
Because of the torrential rain there night, we were wasted soaked and muddy by the time i get was over. After the other Hand noticed a number of the conservative players literally sliding through the box in the field that impulse had so unceremoniously destroyed. When I got some the Metro station, covered in mud with dripping wet, a white from the other case of the platform must have noticed my broom and figured out what I had been up to, because she called across to upload video was Quidditch?”
I guess some of bread here two days from Mmm … Zucchini bread. And it was organic zucchini bread, so it was made a hippies and fall and he no meat products.
Coolest thing to happen to me today.
Yes, I am now a necessary condition :D
Check out ofthe latest XKCD comic. Let’s use this because they're going McGill’s front page, www.mcgill.ca:
Things that the XKCD comic says will be on a typical university’s front page:
Things are the XKCD comic says that people will complain looking for on a typical university’s website:
So here's where XKCD cartoon about the pretty much time assessment of McGill’s front page.
So you compare the video the front of mysteryUWO, my alma materand UWO does this better, but not because of context anything more useful on their site. They just excited have the sort slideshow or letter from the president.
I’m tempted to email this comic free McGill On Services, but I owed want to be a law
