Um, nobody here works with latex, right?
I accepted the fact that the stuff I wrote several months ago is not being compiled now, and I have to go over each line (out of several hundreds) and find ways to change stuff in order to fix it. Fine.
And when something still doesn't work, I turn to guides and tutorials and manuals and the like. Still fine.
But what can I do when something *from the manual* doesn't get compiled properly? I didn't even type it, I copied-and-pasted. And it still doesn't work.
Chocolate didn't help.

Good heavens, Vortex! I hope the surgery goes well, and he has a quick recovery.

Sumi's cake link led me...as wonderful internet time sucks will...to other stuff.
The Great White Snark blog has a geeky cake section. The top 5 awful Yoda cakes page (#1) netted this description which I felt was worthy of a comm.
Oh, where to start. 1) Yoda doesn’t actually look like Telly Savalas with a set of big, pointy ears. 2) Yoda does not play hockey. 3) Yoda definitely didn’t go to your college. Even if your college gave him an honorary degree, Yoda still wouldn’t wear your stupid college’s sweatshirt. Yoda doesn’t pander like that.

Uh, so by latex you mean something other than a form of plastic.

She means LaTeX, a difficult-to-use software package for writing mathy texts.

Hey, Gud, any pictures of your kids to improve my mood? (goodness, I even make other people's kids all about meMeME)..
Uh, so by latex you mean something other than a form of plastic.
sumi, LaTex [Edit: and Tom, usually it's not that difficult. Other than when suddenly things that were beautifully compiled change their minds or the tutorials don't work. Sigh].
I figured out a way around it, phrasing things differently and in a clumsier way. I can't fight with manuals and tutorials right now.
