I’m happy to announce UnimasThesis, a LaTeX class for authoring Universiti Malaysia Sarawak theses.
It’s also available on Bitbucket, as well as on Overleaf.

There, I’ve gone and published my thesis document classes and templates on Overleaf (previously writeLaTeX).
At some point I’ll probably get round to uploading the university-themed beamer templates, too. 🙂
(A little more information about Overleaf after the divider and disclaimer)
(Disclaimer: I provide LaTeX-related community support for Overleaf — so you probably won’t want to just take my word for the following; go try it out yourself! 🙂
Overleaf provides an online collaborative environment for authoring and publishing research using LaTeX. One nice thing about Overleaf is the rich text mode — which hides most LaTeX stuff from collaborators who are not familiar with it.
Another nice thing is the commenting facility.
So if you’d like to use LaTeX to write your thesis but your supervisor balks at it, try introducing them to Overleaf’s rich text mode and commenting feature. They just might be convinced!
I presented something on Android Kernel/ROM at the Malaysian Open Source Conference (MOSC) 2014. I did my presentation with beamer. Here are the slides and the source codes at Github

Hi! If you are using PowerPoint on Windows and are looking for a convenient way to insert LaTeX equations, I’d like to suggest trying out IguanaTex, which I am now in charge of developing:
http://www.jonathanleroux.org/software/iguanatex/
It’s a good and free alternative to the now apparently abandonned TexPoint.The LaTeX displays created with IguanaTex support formatting (rotation, resizing, color fills, etc), animations, as well as inclusion in groups (even hierarchical): they can be edited while retaining all these properties.
I hope you like it.

Give it a spin!
During my degree in 2002, most of my assignments and the final year project report is done in Microsoft Word 97, a WYSIWYG type word processor. For a person first time using a computer (for official reason, other than Daytona USA, minesweeper and the dial-up type internet surfing :)), this what-you-see-is-what-you-get word processor is actually impressive for me on the things it can do, BUT I notice something, some patterns,
This waste my effort and time.
FOUR good reason I found to start using LaTex for my thesis.
ONE. Scalability – As I mentioned earlier – the size of your document. Word (or even Open Office) can get slower when editing large documents with equations and figures. In LaTex, I break my thesis into smaller chunks (like one chapter per file) and then let LaTex combine them altogether. This also lead to more organizable and manageable documents.
TWO. Support – Excellent support from the web community, one such example is the Malaysian LaTex User Group blog. I can ‘google’ any matter related to LaTex and come up with a solution.
You should NOT use LaTex if,
These Beamer themes have been around quite a while, but I’ve just discovered them from some Japanese github sites.
The Blackboard theme may be useful for short talks with a little bit of fun:
I’ve a feeling that this DarkConsole theme would be popular with some developers.
And the Moreblue theme has a nice, airy feel about it:
An interesting talks regarding fonts
Turns out my hacked beamer theme was mentioned in an article here.
Since I do not understand Chinese language, I just understand what it said via Google translator.
TeXample.net has been a great gallery and resource of TikZ examples, curated by Stefan Kottwitz. Graph plots were included on TeXample.net, but as the pgfplots packages became more flexible and feature-rich, Stefan has decided to dedicate a separate gallery to it — and thus was PGFPlots.net born!
The graph plot examples are already looking delicious, so head on over and take a look. Do share your own examples as well!
