This weekend I attempted to mount a usb drive into my Raspberry Pi and set up a Samba share so that I could dump files into it over the network. The problem was that the share was visible in windows explorer, but any attempts to enter it would encounter an “you do not sufficient permissions” error.

I’ve written a decent amount LaTeX from relatively simple documents such as math assignments and essays, and longer more involved documents such as thesis’s and CV’s. In writting these simple documents I often find the LaTeX syntax a bit too much, such as having to emphasis text as \emph{italic text} and the syntax for lists being somewhat verbose. So I plan on writting a pre-processor using the Parsec library to acheive something similar do Jekyll’s system of using markdown for content, and yaml headers for additional information.
