Now that I am done with the whining, I can point out that I had put on my webpage this [lowly paper][8]. I started using the **picins** package, which allows one to put pictures embedded inside the text and allows the text to wrap around the figures. This is really nice, because now one can put in small figures close the relevant point, without them taking huge space. You can [see the paper][9] for an example.
Which brings us to the fact that a new version of [Ipe][10] (using QT 4) was recently released, and it works very nicely. Especially because you can tell it automatically to save both pdf/eps versions (which is nice if you use latex/pdflatex simultaneously). Sadly, the Debian version is outdated so if you use Debian you might to compile it yourself. Ipe works very nicely if you need [animation][11] in your presentation ([here][12] is more info). If you want to see talk slides using beamer and Ipe figures, see [here][13] ([source][14]). And here is a [Ipe][15] figure that uses several views for animation in the above presentation.

The way I understand evolution is that there were happy monkeys eating bananas and playing Tarzan (no, I didn't say Tarjan) in the trees all day. Then, one morning, the chief monkey told his son: " Pat, if you don't get off that tree, I'll ask God to turn you into a televangelist! " The rest is, as we say, history. Pat Robertson never got over and vowed to dedicate his life to the cause of anti-monkey bigotry. It's actually a very sad story of self-hatred. When George W. Bush gave him a banana in the White House, the story has it that Pat Robertson looked at it, muttered "Dad, forgive me for my sins," and wept.
So, Sariel, please show some kindness, if that sentiment is not completely alien to you.
