Happy Birthday anniversary, Melody!

Here’s something better than a Scooby Snack. . . .

You are right, it’s a program for remote autograph transmission. It’s a little tidier than my handwriting. Chimp Loki coded it and gave me a copy. I had to recode some of it: everything displayed and printed out in banana yellow, and had a small paw print. Those chimps seem obsessive sometimes.

Chimp Stanley sent me a telegram (he’s a little anachronistic) saying Lancelotlink and company will be returning from Greece soon. They are stopping in Africa to visit cousins and drop off the bonobos, then a quick stop to south America to pick up a load of bananas, before returning to the States.

This is interesting, because they’ve only been there for six months and they were supposed to be there for 8 to 10 months, investigating the chimp’s contributions to ancient Greek literature and mathematics. According to Lancelotlink and company, the chimps not only helped Shakespeare write his great plays and sonnets, but made major contributions to the arts and sciences of ancient Greece, too.

I’m not sure if they found what they were looking for or just gave up. We’ll find out soon enough, I suspect.

Well, if you insist . . .

I’ll make a separate post for it. In the mean time, here’s how to copy the code. It’s not difficult.

There are other ways to do this, but this way is fast and easy to explain.

1) Bring up the “code box” by mousing over the Latex,.

2) Move the mouse pointer over the box and right click. A dialogue box will appear.

3) The dialogue box will have the command “select all.” One of the letters will be underlined –for most browsers it is the “a”. Press the “a” on the key board. The text code in the box will highlight blue.

4) Right click again, and press “c” for copy. All the code in the box is now copied to the buffer. This text can now be pasted anywhere (where text can be pasted): a word editor, a Latex editor, or another post.

There is one thing to watch for: the mouse pointer needs to stay on the text box while performing these commands. If the mouse moves off the text box it won’t work. This is why you have to press the letter key –instead of moving the mouse. 

Hummm… It looks like you figured out most of it . . . . 

I’ll post follow-ups on the Latex thread.

I can, but it will clutter up everything. Just mouse over the Latex and the code window pops up. Select and copy that code and paste it in an editor to play with it.

It’s as easy as

Wow! 13 points! It looks like I do have a fan club.

Some of my snarky posts might have received minus 13 points, except those are blanked, either by CPhill, or by Melody, who makes Scooby Snacks out of them.

Anyway, thanks to my fans. . . . Sorry, no autographs please.

\Text{One great thing about writing great LaTex presentations: You can be dumber than a box of rocks and still look intelligent --at least for awhile. I have been getting away with it for years . . . .}$$

Categorizing that question as a “Social Studies” question is dumber than Categorizing “Astronomy” as “Astrology.”

I know you are not intelligent trolls, because you would have called it “Geography.”

I hope neither of you are answering math questions on here. Your CDD is in full bloom and may be terminal. If I was that stupid, I would stay anonymous too.

BTW that is a “Geology” question. You two can call it Social Studies if you want –most will understand why, now.
