Installing new package in Latex

If you are using linux, the TeX Live is installed on:

/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex

To install a style file you have to create a directory for it and copy the contents there. Next you have to run the program mktexlsr as root.

Exporting Skype Chat/Skype Contacts to csv file using the shell script and sqlite3 (usually already installed on mac)

Edit: a very first draft version of Skype Exporter have been made and released. https://github.com/renesto/SkypeExportSwift/releases check it, and report any issues to renesto-at-gmail.com I heard there are not so many nice ways to get the chat history from skype, so I came across a page of one guy who shows a way to open the sql chat history database and delete all conversations.

trim() not supported by IE7 and IE8

Funny fact, trim function is not supported by IE7 and IE8. Ok, it is supported, but through jQuery trim function. So, when you have something like this: jQuery(...).attr().trim() , this trim() function stops having any relation to jQuery, as the attr() would return String type, which method would be then trim(). Since IE7 and IE8 do not support trim() method within String type, you should use instead jQuery.trim(jQuery(...).attr()) or if you don't wanna use jQuery (whyyyy?), you can simply implement the trim function youself. if(typeof String.prototype.trim !== 'function') { String.prototype.trim = function() { return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ''); } } http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif source 1 source 2
