Ezlo

So, I’ve completely changed directions, and have taken on a long standing project that I have been meaning to do for a while. My server has been sitting empty for a bit (aside from the set files it’s been hosting, and my git repos), so I decided that, while working on the physics lab today, that we really did need an online latex editor similar to Google’s documents. So I’ve made a solid start on one. I’m using rails, mostly because learning another framework would be more work than the switch would save me. Right now, I almost have it spitting out pdfs, but I’m too tired to type straight, so that milestone will have to wait.

Oh, and name: I was casting about for something to call the directory, and saw my friend’s thingamajig that’s this yeast character from some anime. Yes, yeast, called ormize (or something like that), which is what I promptly named my rails project. Then, I noticed that reversing the word could lead to ezlo, which could stand for E-Z Latex Online. We’ll see, but I think ezlo is my working name for now.
