Comment on Seamless integration of Papers and DEVONthink by Tim Norman

Tim Norman — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:57:50 +0000

Great tip – just out of interest does this use more filespace or less than importing the PDF’s into Devonthink?

Also just wondered whether you might have any ideas about something I’m trying to do:

I’m using Devonthink as well & just wondered whether you might have found a good way of searching for Bible references in your Devonthink database.

E.g. I want to find a talk or some notes on John 6:51-18, but I don’t want to find all the docs with just the word ‘John’ in it, and docs on John 6 might be useful, as might docs on John 5-8

Any ideas?

Thanks

Tim

Very nice, thanks for sharing this very effective bit of code. It is strange that this was never added to the base of R.

Great, thanks for this. What about defining mpower for negative exponents, e.g.

mpower(M,-p^2)= solve(mpower(M,p^2))

I have been lost on this one for a few months and hadn’t come up with a simple solution. This isn’t complete but it’s excellent for my purposes. Thank you!

Comment on Have you heard the one about graduate school? by mordernlover45

I’m in grad school and I’d have to say this is 100% right. I can emphatically say I know so much about nothing right now. It’s actually pretty scary. But yeah…Grad school is a trip! One piece of advice. Make good friends. You’re going to need them.
