Latex: Pushing floats to the end of a document

The endfloat package is kind of fancy but the problem I faced with it is that I was renumbering figures in the middle of the document and the latex referencing algorithms were handling it fine, but when the figures appeared at the end of the document their numbering was screwed up.

There is an easy way, however, to push the figures to the end of the document as I wanted. From some hints here about how LaTeX decides whether there is enough space on a page to put in a figure


\renewcommand{\textfraction}{1.0}
\renewcommand{\floatpagefraction}{0.9}


in the preamble does the trick, by fooling LaTeX into deciding there is NEVER enough space to put figures on a page until it is all out of text and has to just dump the figures as best as it can, one to a page.

A note on Python's __exit__() and errors

Python's context managers are a very neat way of handling code that needs a teardown once you are done. Python objects have do have a destructor method ( __del__ ) called right before the last instance of the object is about to be destroyed. You can do a teardown there. However there is a lot of fine print to the __del__ method. A cleaner way of doing tear-downs is through Python's context manager , manifested as the with keyword. class CrushMe: def __init__(self): self.f = open('test.txt', 'w') def foo(self, a, b): self.f.write(str(a - b)) def __enter__(self): return self def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb): self.f.close() return True with CrushMe() as c: c.foo(2, 3) One thing that is important, and that got me just now, is error handling. I made the mistake of ignoring all those 'junk' arguments ( exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb ). I just skimmed the docs and what popped out is that you need to return True or

Using adminer on Mac OS X

adminer is a nice php based sqlite manager. I prefer the firefox plugin "sqlite manager" but it currently has a strange issue with FF5 that basically makes it unworkable, so I was looking for an alternative to tide me over. I really don't want apache running all the time on my computer and don't want people browsing to my computer, so what I needed to do was: Download the adminer php script into /Library/WebServer/Documents/ Change /etc/apache2/httpd.conf to allow running of php scripts (uncomment the line that begins: LoadModule php5_module Start the apache server: sudo apachectl -k start Operate the script by going to localhost Stop the server: sudo apachectl -k stop
