pphaneufOn the friday evening, there was some celebrating of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
blacksquiggles' birthday! There was bowling, blue balls and boobies, all good. We then headed over to iangurudata's bachelor party. He's not really getting married, but he's a bachelor nonetheless! I think we did a rather poor job, but much fun was had anyway!
Saturday, there was wandering about town for a bit with the ladyazrhey, and we then went to the lanterns festival at the Botanical Gardens, with sfllaw and a few other people. angorian and Mister D were supposed to join with us, but they couldn't, as they were fighting through traffic. But we thought it'd be a good idea to go to Juliette et Chocolat after that, and they have the same idea at about the same time, so we hooked up with them there anyway! Good coincidence.
Sunday,azrhey gave me tremendous help. After helping clear out my aging and dubious wardrobe, she helped me put together the content of a resume for my job hunting. For some things, I'm very agreeable and easy to work with, but for some other things, I am not. Writing a resume is one of these "other things". Thanks again!
Tonight, after a silly day at work, I went for dinner and a few pints withgregorama and his posse. This was already rather entertaining, and then watched some Kate Beckinsale in tight leather and PVC.
I then headed home and worked on the layout and typography of my resume.
A few questions for the LaTeX hackers in the crowd (and I know there are a few!)... How do you get LaTeX to understand UTF-8? I used to use the inputenc package with the "latin1" option, but that was when I used ISO-8859-1 for my files, and I'm now a UTF-8 man. I'd also like to use a sans serif font (in the style of Verdana), with pdflatex, how would I do that (preferably using one of the standard PDF fonts). I never remember either how to change the font, or what's the PDF/PostScript sans serif font... :-)
Also, anyone know if you can have Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 under Linux to reload a file? I found that going to another page would seem to do that, but I'd rather have a single key, or preferably, GhostScript-style "watching" the file with automatic reloading.
