  • Ubuntu Mixed on

    I work under Ubuntu for the most of time with open source software packages. I dislike the default Unity interface like others.

  • knitr Uses

    I use my knitr package to generate reports directly from code (literate programming); the "reports" may include homework, blog posts, websites, papers and books.

  • pandoc Uses

    I'm visually tired of beamer slides (mainly because too many people use the same style), and I use pandoc to create HTML5 slides.

  • MathJax Loved

    The other amazing JS application that I use is MathJax, which allows me to write LaTeX math in web pages.

  • Jekyll Liked

    Finally I came to Jekyll, a blog engine for hackers. I'm pretty happy with it since I will never worry about databases; I just write simple Markdown posts and push them to Github via Git.

  • LyX Uses

    For typesetting I use LyX which is a wrapper for LaTeX, and I have argued with other people for many times that writing raw LaTeX is not helpful after you have mastered LaTeX, although I absolutely love LaTeX and avoid Word.

  • R Uses

    For programming and data analysis, I primarily use R since I'm a statistician.

  • RStudio Uses

    Emacs was my editor before I switched to RStudio; for small tasks, I just use the default editor gedit.
