ervin's piece of web

As usual, long time without blogging from me. A lot happened since the last time, but I'm too tired (and probably lazy) to write about it now. Some of it will be covered in my talks for Akademy 2009. Of course, Air being almost out of the door we deserve a new updated LaTeX beamer template. Since I wrote the Oxygen template, I decided to produce a new one based on the great work from Nuno. As usual I'm providing a [tarball with the template](http://ervin.ipsquad.net/share/AirBeamerTemplate.tar.gz), and you can take a look at an [example presentation](http://ervin.ipsquad.net/share/air-example-talk.pdf) And tomorrow morning, very early, I'll meet some more gearheads from Toulouse, and we'll take the plane for Gran Canaria. Looking forward to it! See you all in Las Palmas.  OK, that was really short, I'll try to blog more during the conference. I swear!

After seeing [Sebas' slide templates](http://vizzzion.org/?blogentry=630), I somehow became jealous since I'm more a [LaTeX Beamer](http://latex-beamer.sourceforge.net) user. So I decided that we, LaTeX users, shouldn't feel ashamed in front of those beaufitul slides and that we deserved one template! It took some time to work on it and \*dang\* [](http://www.kde.org/kdeslides/templates/example-talk.pdf) It's now available from the [kdeslides](http://www.kde.org/kdeslides) page: - [Oxygen LaTeX Beamer style](http://www.kde.org/kdeslides/templates/OxygenBeamerTemplate.tar.gz) - [demo PDF file](http://www.kde.org/kdeslides/templates/example-talk.pdf) (for the curious) Thanks a lot to our [Oxygen](http://www.oxygen-icons.org) team, they've done the artwork which makes this template possible. You rock guys! Now we know who will have the best looking and well structured slides, the LaTeX users or course! ;-)
