Unix, TeX и священники

[scholar_vit]

Пришло сообщение об обновлении TeXовского пакета pfarrei на CTAN. Описание пакета настолько замечательно, что я приведу его полностью.

pfarrei – LATEX support of pastors’ and priests’ work

In “Die TeXnis­che Komödie” (is­sue 1/2013) Chris­tian Justen de­scribed his use of LaTeX in his work as priest (sim­i­lar re­quire­ments may be en­coun­tered in the work of pas­tors and other min­is­ters of re­li­gion). One point was to ar­range A5 pages onto A4 land­scape pa­per, ei­ther side-by-side or as a book­let. Justen made two bash scripts for this job; the pack­age pro­vides one texlua script for both re­quire­ments. (Note that file a5­toa4.tlu should have ex­e­cute per­mis­sions in any in­stal­la­tion.)

Интересно было бы послушать проповеди свящ. Христиана Юстена.

К слову, у самого Кнута есть книжка "3:16 Bible Texts Illuminated" с его рассуждениями на богословские темы.

Если нет ошибок в реализации, то хороший и полезный пакет, судя по описанию. Не вижу поводов для смеха.

Вообще то приходы часто не богаты, я не удивлюсь если у них opensoursa побольще чем в среднем по больнице.

Интервью с разрабочиком системы гибернации ядра Linux:

Is programming your profession? When did you start programming? What is your favourite programming language?

I'm actually a Christian (Protestant) Minister by profession, but prior to training for the ministry, I completed a Bachelor of Commerce in Management of Information Systems and Management Science.

As a kid, I was a bit of a computer nerd, but over time, I increasingly got more interested in dealing with people and less interested in dealing with computers. After finishing my theological training about ten years ago, I've lived with one foot in the IT industry and one foot in the Christian ministry. The job I'm currently doing is the first one in which I'm doing both at once, though. I'm working for a theological college in Melbourne, coordinating on their Distance Education program. As part of that, I work on the Moodle E-learning software and also take care of the main Drupal based website.

I started programming in my early teens. Our family's first computer was a Dick Smith VZ-200 computer (they were sold in Australia and New Zealand), but it was when I get a Commodore 64 that I made my first real attempt at programming. I learned machine code, to the extent that I wrote a little pop-up menu system with most of the code residing in RAM that was normally hidden by the C-64's 16KB Basic ROM.

I'm not really sure that I do have a favourite programming language. The main two I use at the moment are C for the kernel work, and PHP for my website development work. I like them both, but it's a case of horses for courses: C is great for kernel programming and PHP is great for websites. To flip the question on its head, the language I like least is Scheme. I had to learn it while doing the Computer Science papers in my B.Com, and I think all those brackets do more for the sale of headache tablets than they do for readability! :)

У нас в университете священник отлично алгебру преподавал, занимался криптографией, держал сеть компьютеров на Unix, на который распределенно искал всякие удачные кодовые матрицы - проверял / применял на практике свои теоретические выводы.
