Library Associates Card

March 24th, 2005 ~ Posted in: General

God forbid that I should end up living in Houston, much less not having an affiliation with a good library, but it was something I was slightly worried about: after I’m out of school, if I’m not a professor, how will I have access to a good library?

I just found out that UH has a “Library Associates Card” program, for either $75 or $150/yr. I would definitely take the $150/yr. option, and consider it a good deal: a 20 book checkout limit, recall priviledges, on-campus access to all the databases the library carries, and ILL. Sweet.

    Hiya. This is William … I own a little riddles site that apparently you have seen before :) I was going to email you but I couldn’t find your address anywhere. I’m interested in using latexrender in my forum, which runs in perl. The creator of latexrender suggested I ask you about it, since you had started rewriting latexrender in perl. How far along are you, and would you be willing to share your work? Alternatively I could try invoking the php function from perl, which I don’t know how to do yet, if it’s even possible (currently teaching myself php). Anyways, any advice would be helpful.

    Hello William, nice to meet you. Love your site. Unfortunately, I haven’t ported LaTeXRender to Perl. I was going to because at the time I was using MovableType, which is written in Perl, and wanted to use it as a plugin— but then I moved to WordPress, which is written in PHP, so lost the need. But I’d definitely be willing to port it for you; like Steve said, it is really simple. Give me a week (til next Sunday), and I’ll send you a link.

    Hi Alex and William,

    I am also very interested in using it in our forums which run in perl. Alex, did you port latexrender yet?

    Thanks,
    Lars.
