  1. However long it may be, I sense a slow recovery from my injury. For the
    past week or so I can shift my arm just enough to return to two-handed
    typing.

    To keep up my geekiness factor I've been learning a little bit about
    'LaTeX' (http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?introduction=yes) the
    typesetting language, which is rather like the principle of HTML except
    its for making printed works instead of web pages. The default "book"
    output generates PDFs which look a lot like novels.

    I've had a bash at collecting all my writeups so far (all six of them!)
    and making a PDF novel out of them. Those who have vivid photographic
    imaginations seeded from words will hopefully enjoy it.

    I wonder what Mikefule would think...

  2. Looks good! I love reading ride reports, and I've only seen the last two
    of those before so I can read the rest 'fresh', not now though 'cause
    I'm off for a ride myself!

  3. LaTeX (pronounced 'Latec'😉 is a great language, we are recommended to
    use it as part of our Computing module in Mechanical Engineering at
    Southampton Uni (say that 5 times fast)...

    Very cool Gavin, I like a lot (has been saved to my unicycling folder).
    Now you just need to add pictures at relevant points, and it's
    complete. Very good idea. (and if Mikefule wanders in here, a great way
    to get all your ride reports collated in a very professional way)

    Loose.
