Okla, sebenarnya just nak btau, kalau ada siapa2 nak install Latex dlm personal laptop or PC senang saja caranya. Just pergi ke link ni http://www.tug.org/texlive/, pastu klik download, klik install-tl.zip (untuk pengguna window, umm.. rasanya korang sume guna Window kan, kalau bukan, klik the other option k..), pastu extract the zip file, cari file install-tl. klik kat situ dan install. senang je tp amik masa sketla.. kurang 1 jam kot, sempatla korang nak makan biskut kering cecah air nescafe (gulp.. sedapnye, kepingin rasanya tp kat sini xde jual biskut tu..)
Sebelum ni tak taula pulak blh install sendiri, yelah kat US ni kan ketat sket psl install menginstall ni, no pirate2 at all, sume berlesen2 bagai. for the previous laptop pagi-pagi i letak je kt opis technician, suh diorang installkan, pastu petang amik n tinggal pakai je. recently, i beli laptop baru gara-gara sakit hati jiwa n raga ngn laptop lama, lepas install latex trs jd lembab n lembik abis.. mana taknya processor AMD Dual Core je korang. Harap je skrin besar 17.3" kemain, tapi.. hampeh, sesuai utk tonton movies je.
So, utk student2 PhD zaman ciber ni, spec laptop yg sesuai dgn kita ialah Intel i7, 8GB, Windows 7 atau 8. Buat masa skg ni, cukupla kalau nak run latex, matlab and other programs. Screen size plak 14" dah sesedap rasa dah and berat dalam 4 pound lebih tu dlm kategori laratlah kita nak mengusung ke sana sini. Brand x kesah apa2 tp yg tgh glemer di US ni Asus, Lenovo, HP, and Dell. Take note ok. hihi..
Semalam i sibuk apply travel fund utk attend satu conference di Penn state, beriala buat personal laman web, ala yang professor2 ada tu, laman web professional, incl CV, publications, grants, teaching, etc. sbb style di sini mmg cmtu, kalau korang nak apply g workshop or conference diorang akan mintak URL kita. macam good-good je kan. rasa mcm x layak lg kot, pangkal Dr. pun xde lagi. haha. layankan jela.. kalau sudi, jenguk sini: http://norazalizamohdjamil.wordpress.com/.
I guna wordpress je sbb free, x sempat sgt nk explore benda2 lain. Kalau UMP provide satu sistem personal laman web utk lecturers kan bagus, nampak formal sket. If korang nak buat jugak guna wordpress, blhla tanya i kalau ada masalah. bende ni pening gak nk edit. nak buang button leave comment je, habis masa sejam. Takkan I nak org komen bwk my list of publications kan. Eh, kalau korang tau provider selain wordpress yg lagi best, btau i ea.. hihi.. yang penting FREE.
haish.. sebenarnya nak cerita pasal latex je, ni dah melalut2 ke tempat lain plak. ok, cerita balik pasal latex, actually nak jot down my own notes utk i refer any other time. sebab selalu lupa kalau nk apply something, fikir nak letak usepackage ape, function ape.. alright. here we go..
