Resisting temptations
Every website allowing comment is harassed by spam: the one of the company where I work is no exception, of course.
So I was going to add it to My Akismet Account .
I had to stop and to resist the urge of playing dirty:
Quite understandably they forbid commercial usage when you don’t want to pay.

Ford circle and faccia-vista concrete
I shall study those Ford circles (found via this Tikz example) a little, they may teach us something about the optimal granulometric distribution of a “faccia-vista” (exposed, faced) concrete…

TexLive is crippled in Centos 7
Oh, what a joy discovering that TexLive packages in CentOS 7 are bugged or crippled beyond any reasonable amount!
Furthermore TeXlive in distros like CentOS 7 is crippled since they don’t offer the TeXlive Manager called tlmgr. So updating packages is a pain, since it has to be done manually, which is far from being trouble-free — newer versions of LaTeX packages could depend on newer versions of other LaTeX packages and so on and so on.And at last, TeXlive is just a snapshot of CTAN, at least regarding LaTeX packages and lots of other stuff. So having a possibility to update sounds like a very good idea to me.So as conclusion: Just forget the TeXlive packages from CentOS 7. Install the regular TeXlive. [5] As prerequisites you need to install the CentOS packages “perl-Tk” and “perl-Digest-MD5”, afterwards the installation should be pain-free

Quite frankly I consider quite a failure to rely on the TexLive specific installer
pst-stru
pst-stru from GIUSEPPE MATARAZZO deserve some attention since it allow to draw parametric diagrams!
As far as I can say no other structure plotting offer this feature. It’s quite sad that it only works only on PostScript as “modern” Tex versions tends to work on PDF.
