''You are sad,'' the Knight said in an anxious tone: ''let me sing you a song to comfort you.''

''Is it very long?'' Alice asked, for she had heard a good deal of poetry that day.

''It's long,'' said the Knight, ''but very, very beautiful. Everybody that hears me sing it -- either it brings the tears into their eyes, or else -- ''

''Or else what?'' said Alice, for the Knight had made a sudden pause.

''Or else it doesn't, you know. The name of the song is called "Haddocks' Eyes."''

''Oh, that's the name of the song, is it?'' Alice said, trying to feel interested.

''No, you don't understand,'' the Knight said, looking a little vexed. ''That's what the name is called. The name really is "The Aged Aged Man."''

''Then I ought to have said "That's what the song is called"?'' Alice corrected herself.

''No, you oughtn't: that's quite another thing! The song is called "Ways and Means": but that's only what it's called, you know!''

''Well, what is the song, then?'' said Alice, who was by this time completely bewildered.

''I was coming to that,'' the Knight said. ''The song really is "A-sitting On A Gate": and the tune's my own invention.''

Have a look at a gallery that I made as I wrote the OpenGL widgets.

See my old project: SwarmPS

Why many calls to cudaFree/cudaMalloc seems to cause havoc

Why cudaMemcpyDeviceToDevice seems to fail

Does MathML work ?

$$sqrt(a^2+b^2)$$

  • `G(f) = exp(-f^2/(2 sigma_f^2))`

Let's try some interesting formulas:

E=m c2

and ei pi=-1

and AA x in CC (sin2x +cos2x=1)

and one more: sum_(i=1)n i3=((n(n+1))/2)2

Trivial examples.

First, using asciimath formatting. `a+b`

Then, using latex format.

$$\frac{d}{dx}f(x)=\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$$

C++ is sometimes like what you call the name of a song...

this is an exert taken from Alice in Wonderland - a friend once told me that this was how he viewed C++

You are sad, the Knight said in an anxious tone: let me sing you a song to comfort you.

Is it very long? Alice asked, for she had heard a good deal of poetry that day.

It's long, said the Knight, but very, very beautiful. Everybody that hears me sing it -- either it brings the tears into their eyes, or else --

Or else what? said Alice, for the Knight had made a sudden pause.

Or else it doesn't, you know. The name of the song is called "Haddocks' Eyes."
